Apaprently we've outspent Arsenal in January.... http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features...e-average-january-and-chelsea-arent-top-dogs? That says our total PL spending in January has been just over £7m, which is very, very wrong, given what we paid for Long and Jelavic. I expected better from Fourfourtwo, it's a decent mag.
You sure it's wrong? It's an average that includes 08-09, 09-10, and 13-14. I imagine it doesn't include this season as January hasn't finished yet.
It's the average January net spend. Assuming they're not looking at this season, that suggests a total net spend of £22.2m in the three previous PL January windows. Which sounds about right to me.
Roughly... 08/09 £7.5m (Bullard and Zayatte) 09/10 Nowt 13/14 £13.5m (Long and Jelavic) We appear to have sold no one for cash in those three windows.
Cairney will have brought in something but the net of £22m is pretty much the purchases of £22m. Also, didn't we pay about £500k for Kilbane?
IMO, Defoe - Doyle and one other should be enough for this window. As out and out forwards who are fit we only have Sagbo and Rossi. In saying that, @ West Ham on sunday i would go 3 - 5 - 1 - 1 and try to nick a goal if we can. Brady and Ince with there pace and footwork may just work.
