Chelsea have spent £73 million this summer? Apart from Pedro and Baba (total about £35 mil) I can't think of any other big ones. Who am i forgetting?
Kenedy, Begovic, Nathan...

Umm, who does De Gea play for again?
Exactly. That is what really grates me about this lowest-hanging-fruit narrative that we're a laughing stock. Real had player on plate for them if they only met the asking price in a timely manner. Maybe they're the ones who need to be more realistic in the future.

Tbf, he has somewhat of a point.

We should be looking to bully the 2nd tier of clubs instead. Dortmund for reus, or Atletico for Griezmann etc.. instead.


Anyway, we did get Schweiny from Bayern.

I think he's referring to Neymar? But that was BS. As for Ramos, we'll never know but Madrid set a price and we didn't match it. The guy clearly don't know what he's talking about.

What an utter child. A lot of the problem with British youngsters in the mentality and that's not something that will change regardless of what the FA tries to implement.

The thing I don't get about this bloke is if he put his head down and had a couple of good 15+ goal seasons at West Brom, he'd be getting interest from teams much better than Spurs.
Yep, you can imagine the likes of Arsenal, United and even Chelsea would be in the market for a new striker in the next window or 2. Also the small matter of the Euros in the summer which he has a chance of being part of, albeit a very slim one

Wonder if this will make back page news like it would if it was United?
Aston Villa in meltdown! Sherwood furious over transfer debacle! Agbonlahor caught with granny!

A couple yeah, £70-odd million is probably about right, thinking about it.

We've got about 30 players out on loan, would be interesting to know what sort of income thaty generates.
For argument sake, let's say you average a £1m per player (some will be more, some will be less), that's £30m of revenue a year you make plus the money you save having the player off the wage bill for that season.

Hmmmm.. didn't Thiago play for Barca, and Robben play for Madrid? Alonso, Kroos?

As for players moving between Real and Barca.... how long has this lad been following football?

Hmmmm,
Kroos, Alonso, De Gea, Schweinsteiger, Thiago ...

It was a long shot getting any of them but we had to try. Not like there was any outstanding players playing elsewhere (except reus who we probably tried to get).

I was convinced this thread was going to reach 1,000 pages, but deadline day proved ultimately anti-climatic.
