You'll have to link me the article. All the information I've seen on this has shown a clear correlation, obviously not 100% of the time (United..) but teams who invest more generally achieve more. I imagine the top spenders on transfers correlate pretty closely with the top spenders on wages, anyway.
Mostly yes, although not always, see Ndombele and Lo Celso
So once again you've destroyed your own argument.
I'll repeat it here for you;
It's the quality of player that counts not the price tag.
I couldn't give a fuck if we spend £10m and sign better players than we currently have.
I'd be super pissed off if we spend £100m and not improve the squad, as has happened previously.
This is the argument I'm putting forward but you keep on twisting it into something else.

Indeed, pretty sure Everton would be near Liverpool by now if it was just about spend if that were the case
There's definitely a correlation between salaries and sporting success and why wouldn't there be? It basically means you can attract the best of everything, doctors, scouts, physios, coaches, recruitment etc..
Be funny when we break even with our sales hence not even touching the £150m and people bemoan Levy for pulling over the wool over our eyes yet again
Tanganga was injured and not even in the squad for that match.
Us making bad investments doesn't change the fact that spending more correlates with success. Nor should the club be put off from making big investments because we made a couple of poor ones. You don't win trophies with signings in the 15-30m range.
No I haven't. I've destroyed whatever strawman argument you've made up.
The only one twisting anything here is you and your band of merry fuckwits. I know what your argument is, I just find it incredibly naïve.
The conversation is about Sessegnon though.
And yet you're still moaning about it.
Go back to the start, the comment you joined on on was regarding Tanganga...
Rent free lol.
This is the biggest ending of a person or object since that iceberg fucked the titanic.
You know what, I need to apologise to Matt here. I've got the wrong end of the stick as I THOUGHT the conversation was about Sessegnon.
Now I feel like a proper Lemon!
That would be when you ended yourself in this very thread by living up to your username.
And yet you still are saying that the price tag is more important than the quality.
But I'm supposed to be the naive one.
Nah, I made a joke about transfer spending, and like the loyal little pup you are, you jumped on it .. all the while seething that anybody could think this window is anything but perfect. And the other members of the transfer police joined in, because anyone who suggest any player we're signing is anything less than the second coming of Jesus is wrong.
The window has been pretty good, so far.
Stop being such a tart. We're all yids here (well...mostly).
And yet you still are saying that the price tag is more important than the quality.

Yes. That's what I've said, Sherlock. You've nailed it.
