I'm still amazed that Aston Villa of all clubs have spent so much.Arsenal are gonna recoup another 35 million from Iwobi

Just saving up for Mbappe mate, don't worry.So less than 100 million net spend last year and less than 100 million net spend this year. huh!
I really dislike Jose and his time here but the signings of Fred and Dalot were never going to make up a 20 point gap to City in the previous window. Likewise, I wonder if we'll be saying the same at the end of this season regarding top 4, and that AWB, Maguire and James are not enough considering the loss of Herrera, Lukaku and even Fellaini (as a squadie). The owners and Ed suck. There's no two ways about it.
I think the transfer window has changed for now. Transfers are now too much of a risk. Apart from city activating a low release clause, signings have been mental.The club is an absolute shambles in terms of its player recruitment and sales.
We have failed to address key areas of concern namely midfield and following the sale of "fatty first touch", a goalscorer.
I cant help but think Ole has been let down, hung out to dry and we are praying the youngsters perform to save face.
Its been a poor window and will be a battle to make top 4.
The part about the transfer debt accrual strikes me as particularly interesting. Man Utd have by far the largest debt here, and I'm curious as to what impact this might be having on the club.Fantastic.
Too much of a risk? Then do a loan deal like spurs then. Why couldn't we have got Mandzukic? He would have offered something different, and imagine the experience he could've passed on to our young strikers. I think we FAILED big time in this window and we spent peanuts. Disgusted.I think the transfer window has changed for now. Transfers are now too much of a risk. Apart from city activating a low release clause, signings have been mental.
30M last year 69M this window, we have spent under 100M combined in two seasons.So less than 100 million net spend last year and less than 100 million net spend this year. huh!

Compared to our turnover we arent among the top.Gotta also consider our wages when talking about spending. That's probably why we need to sell first, can't let the wage budget get out of control.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have terrible finances, it remains to be seen how they'll cope with the fallout. City, PSG, and the other oil teams should be ignored as they aren't clean organic teams. Of the reasonable teams, we're one of the top.Compared to our turnover we arent among the top.
Turnover - Wages - Percentage of turnover
1. Real Madrid 1 €675M €406M 60%

We have not spent a lot if you look at it revenue vs expenditure. Liverpool has for example outspent us by more than 50% ( if you look at revenue vs net transfers ) since the Glazers took over.Barcelona and Real Madrid have terrible finances, it remains to be seen how they'll cope with the fallout. City, PSG, and the other oil teams should be ignored as they aren't clean organic teams. Of the reasonable teams, we're one of the top.
In addition to our transfer fees which are also one of the highest, we're definitely spending quite a lot. Especially when you take into account we haven't had consistent CL football lately.
