According to a blog on Eurosport - our net spend is actually is (minus) - 4.5m
Wasn't sure WHICH 'Transfer thread' to post the thought I just had, but I plumped for this one...
A simple test of who did better this window, is to swap places momentarily with ArseAnal (bear with me)
...imagine, if you will, that THEY had sold their best player to a MASSIVE Club in Spain (not a great leap of of imagination needed there then) ...but had subsequently used the over-inflated fee they somehow managed to wangle on SEVEN, yes S-E-V-E-N (Vidiprinter-style) new, young (Soldado apart), fresh, talented, quality (jury's still out on Chadli, but still) Internationals that not only went some way to replace who they'd just lost, but went even further to strengthen an already promising team, into a fuller, more rounded, POWERFUL squad, with strength in depth in every area (ahem, except LB, but let's glide over that for now) We'd be seething at how they somehow managed to turn (yet) another negative into SUCH a positive... jammy cunts!
...meanwhile, we'd blown not only our transfer record, but our entire Summer's budget on ONE PLAYER (albeit a talented one) to fit into a position in which we were already well covered... at best we'd be labelled another ONE MAN TEAM, at worst we'd be branded glory hunting fools who had just spunked our last on ONE player who may well be a great addition to the club, but left the other glaring deficiencies in the team unresolved!
This place woulda gone into AVB/LEVY OUT meltdown!
Meanwhile, Arsehole Wanker would've been lauded the Professorial genius for unearthing yet MORE hidden European talent... (and we no doubt would've questioned why he continually persists in going for them so young!)
Luckily for us, the boot IS on the other foot for once...
Yes, we've lost Bale, but look what we've got in return...
SOLDADO
CRICHES
PAULINHO
CAPOUE
CHADLI
ERIKSEN
LAMELA
FUCK ME!! (he's not the Japanese prodigy we signed at the last minute BTW, it's just an exclamation of joy!)
Meanwhile, they've got their STAR SHIRT SALE PLAYER. Good for them!
...and what if he turns out to be shit (!!), OK maybe not shit... but what if he's homesick/or perennially injured? Where's their plan B...? where are the OTHER SIX players they signed that they can call upon to relive SOME of the burden??
EXACTLY!
For once, I think we actually played this transfer window RIGHT... we knew Bale was going, and for vast sums... Levy wasn't gambling with money he didn't have, it was simply money he didn't have YET!
But at least we didn't go down the 11pm last ditch panic buy, and pay over the odds in the process (ahem, depending on how our £30m for Lamela turns out, of course!) Having said that, I'd still rather them sign Cabaye than Ozil, but at least they proved what ungentlemanly pricks they were by going all out to unsettle Cabaye!
I'm annoyed that the NLD gave them reason to fucking brag and gloat (again) at our having spent £100m for a 1-0 defeat, but fuck them, and fuck their gloating smug-cunt fans... every single fucking one of them, from Piers 'Trust In Wenger Out' Morgan, to the Mad Screaming Woman of Highbury (remember her?) they're all despicable cunts, and I hate their snivelling little jumped-up-self-important-over-inflated-opinion-of-themselves-but-have-to-resort-to-shitting-in-our-Lasagne-when-the-chips-are-down cunt of a club...
There, I've said it!
What matters isn't the net zero spend, but if there were other useful players Levy could have tried for but passed on.
1. There's no point in spending money for the sake of it.
2. The only reason we have a zero net spend is due to Levy's strong negotiating skills.
3. Bringing in anymore than 7-8 players in 1 window is disruptive IMO - Palace/Sunderland bringing in 15/13 is crazy.
4. It would appear the reason Willian didn't complete was tied into Chelsea taking Eto from Anzi as well and he didn't have a choice.
5. I'm personally made up with business we've done.
Well Eurosport are what like 406/7 that makes them less reliable than Sky, so fuck 'emAccording to a blog on Eurosport - our net spend is actually is (minus) - 4.5m
Love you man....
