The whole Net Spend Debate......

I am not sure those figures are right. I would certainly question the the numbers for Chelsea? Who is the source for data? According o transfer market Web site Chelsea bet spend in past 5 years is £300m

DJ obsessed with having to watch every single game of football played on the planet yet never going to the Emirates to watch his own team play.

Sky Sports published last April net spend figures since 2014 and Chelsea was £119m.Of course since then they splashed out on Kepa and Jorginho so I guess they are around a net spend of around £250m for last 6 windows

Wrong again, you drunken mug.

F off Moreno another clueless pass

Net spend is a silly stat that reflects little about squad investment or value. Arsenal rank above Liverpool in net spend the last couple of years because we have made pitifully little money from player sales. The notion we should somehow be outperforming Liverpool because a desperate Neymarless Barca handed them almost £150m for Coutinho is ridiculous.

“Shows that Liverpool & Spurs are doing very well competing with City having spent hugely less money ”

That figure doesn’t show what you have ‘spent’ at all 🤦‍♂️

Net spend doesn't make much sense when you take a look at how prices have skyrocketed the past few years. Players that were around £20-£30m are now going for double that (Fred at United, Keita at Liverpool, for example). When Pogba was bought, it was a world record and normally, you'd be able to get 2-3 players for that amount back then.

Look at the two Dutch youngsters, being quoted at £60m each. They'd have been £20-30m a few year back (take a look at Depay to United as an example, who we sold for more or less the amount we bought him for), well wintin the time frame from all the money quoted.

Net spend and gross spend mean very little without looking at how things have changed. What we can do is see if each transfer was value for money in the window it was bought. Countinho isn't looking like value for Barca for the amount they had spent. Yet, VVD is and so is Allison. Record transfers for each position (CB and GK) at the time, this was a few years after Klopp had said he'd retire if he had to spend that much.

What we can say is who spent well and who didn't. Liverpool overall spent well in the last 12-13months. Others haven't.
