Couldn't give a **** - taste of our own medicine in a way. They should have won that league at a canter the amount of money they spent - instead they've limped over the line. They want to hope fat Mike throws some serious money at it next year because they've probably only got 2/3 players I'd have at SAFC and we've sunk without a trace.
Worse that big Sam has Palace playing like Bayern munich now !. Bournemouth with their 10,000 on Saturday hehe.
Crystal palace Christian Benteke (£27million in summer 2016) West ham Andre Ayew (£20.5million in summer 2016) Stoke Gianelli Imbula (£18.3million in winter 2016) Ston Sofiane Boufal (£16million in summer 2016) Swansea Borja Baston (£15.5million in summer 2016) Bournemouth Jordon Ibe (£15.3million in summer 2016) SAFC Didier Ndong (£13.6million in summer 2016) Wba Nacer Chadli (£13million in summer 2016) Watford Isaac Success (£12.75million in summer 2016) Boro Afonso Alves (£12.5million in winter 2008) Hull Ryan Mason (£10million in summer 2016) This was as at the end of the summer xfer window and obviously not all are disclosed but it's a pretty decent guide. Other than Palace, we've not really been massively outspent. Watford and Brom have both spent less, yet are both in the top half currently. Saints record signing is barely higher than ours yet they have been consistently miles ahead of us for the last 3 years. I don't think it's necessarily lack of funds that is our problem, we've just been run / managed so so badly for god knows how long and it's finally caught up with us.
