Not really, because if only 2-4 clubs who outspent us finish above us we've actually proved that spending more does not necessarily equate to success.

Agreed. Makes the losing of Kante for £30m hurt even more. But apparently, we're not actually paying that much because we're getting Slimani for £15m instead of £30m, or something. Which allows Sporting to screw Silva's agent - Christ, I don't know. Murky world, Portuguese transfers.
Which one of our starting XI would you upgrade to make our team better, who would you upgrade them with that's available in the market, and how much would that player cost us? These are reasonable questions to your concern.
Latest reports place him in London so, if he does move, it looks like either us or the Russian Mafia.
Pps still behind the 5 clubs I mentioned.
Christ. Only Chelsea could end up spending £70m+ out of nowhere on Deadline Day.
I couldn't disagree more with this. If we go back to Europa or worse, it can only be seen as a lost opportunity, given our young dynamic roster and the rise of Poch. It would also guarantee that we would likely lose the likes of Lloris, Eriksen, and potentially others who crave an ambitious club with CL play. We got there last season by giving chances to young players and it worked, now we need to stay there.
I wouldn't know - I didn't read what you said.
I simply replied with a table that was based on income. That's all. You then came back with a triumphant, caps locked howl about how we were 12th, not 10th, even after I had written, plain as day, that it was 2 years old, and as we all know TV money has risen significantly since then.
Look, I'm not arguing with you, your opinions are you own affair. If you say that everything you said stands, then I believe you.
FUCK ENIC
I think we're in a stronger position this year than last, no doubt.
I just don't see where this 1st XI improvement everyone demands comes from.
Isco was the only player I saw that'd usurp anyone.
Losing out on those players we've been linked with today (Sissoko, Meyer etc.) hasn't changed anything. They aren't the difference between failure and success imo.
So finish work and am having a pint. Deliberately ignored transfer news all day, they even had it on in the bank where I stared up at the ceiling.
What brilliant signings have been made? Some cunt has shared knoudou's twitter picture from yesterday. Sissoko going Everton. Isco definitely not coming.

Caps locked howl? Ur such a joke.
U tried to make a point about us not spending enough and claimed we were 10th richest in Europe. I pointed out the inaccuracies in ur statement and highlighted why the "facts" u provided didn't support ur argument. If u can't admit u were wrong that's fine though, just don't get on ur high horse.
Shambolic window. I said from day one that we absolutely needed to strengthen the first 11 to push on, we aren't doing so. Wanyama and Janssen are nice signings and it's good we addressed these positions, but it's simply not good enough. We'll be in the europa league again next season, we're standing still while our competitors are rapidly moving forward
Seems to me that a lot of other clubs, City and Scum in particular, are also reducing their number of senior squad players quite dramatically.
But if we got there by giving young players a chance why do we feel the need to replace them with expensive purchases to stay there? In fact, should we suddenly outspend most of the 16 clubs who are currently above us in the 'who spent the most' league, what does that say to the youth that got us there in the first place?
I really don't understand your point, you've just lauded the youth that got us to the top 4 as a follow up to a post that complained we haven't spent enough buying new players.
ok lets meltdown together. Santini out!
Have we signed Damião yet?
