    I believe Liverpool's net spend over the past five years is lower than ours.

    TBH mate i don't go with this "net spend" . If you sell two fring players for £20m each then buy a player for £90m he didn't cost £50m he cost £50m plus £40m in assets.

    That only makes sense if the two £20m players were included in the same deal.

    It really doesn't. You could sell the two players in the Jan window then use that monbey in the summer window to put towards your brand new £90m striker, still sold two assets to buy him.

    True, if the two players' transfer liabilities are zero
    (they have been fully bought or were home-grown) .

    Liverpool must be hoping they play easy meat like Spurs every match instead of that Super Plymouth team.......!If Bill Nick is looking down at all this he probably doesn't know whether to laugh or cry!

    I hope you don't run your personal finances under the assumption that the difference between the amount coming in and going out is irrelevant .

    Didn't you hear?

    Diego had double glazing installed last week. The builders charged him above the market value, but Diego didn't mind. As they drove off to take his old single glazed panels to the dump, he was comforted by the knowledge that he'd paid for his new windows with "assets".

    Pretty sure i had this discussion on your board years ago.
    If you sold your old car for £3k then bought another for £5k would you tell everyone your new car only cost £2k?

    You are both half right.
    The net spend tells you how much resource you have added to the squad. The gross spend tells you how much the squad cost.
    Both are interesting.

    your reading far too much into this as the spend is just a simple profit / loss amount the resource added to the squad is at day 1 not quantifiable or else when you signed Richarlison you added a 60m resource to your squad.
