    Gonna speak to Mick and see if we can get the words "Net spend" added to the swear filter so it comes out as *** *****

    Why? It's important. Money out minus money in. What's so difficult about that?

    It's asinine.

    Been a very good window for us.

    Better than Spurs, Everton, Liverpool and West Ham whom I think we'll be scrapping with for Thursday League spots.

    Kept all of our best players bar one and we've now got great options all over the park. Musa and Slimani in particular will be excellent additions to our already potent strike force.

    The only slight worry is the injury to Mendy. Although Amartey was sensational against Swansea so I think we'll be fine.

    It's a Chelsea thing. They just buy, buy, buy. They don't understand the rest of us have to sell to survive.

    No I understand that, just don't get its relevance when talking about how much each club has spent in the window.
    Do you think we are asking because we want to make sure all the PL clubs' books are in order?
    Otherwise it's irrelevant to the conversation.

    No, because it's a measure that we have also lost people. The net spend when we lost Bale was important cause we'd lost the stand out player in our team. If you just concentrate on the fact that we bought Eriksen, Soldado, Lamela etc, then it doesn't tell the full story of the window.

    But that particular question wasn't about which players were sold or bought, just the amount that was spent.
    money spent doesnt always = quality signings.

    There once was a player named Bale,
    whose team had the gumpf of a snail
    he went to the boss
    said "this team is toss"
    so he sold him that weekend to Real
