Have you made sure that you are checking with the right parameters ? The transfermarkt site defaults to transfer and loan fee spending, which might explain the difference you are picking up on. One of the reasons for the discrepancies between for the 07/08 figures between transferleague and transfermarkt is that one has Darren Bent having been signed the season before, whilst the other has him being signed in 07/08. If the totals are added up for the same season with the same players signed, then they both come in at around £62m.

Regardless, when you add up the total transfer spending, both sites clearly have Spurs way ahead of Arsenal. I've provided figures, and whilst I agree there might be some discrepancies, the overall point they both conclude is that Arsenal's spend is well below that of Spurs. If anybody can provide credible figures that contradict this, then post them here.

The original claim however, was that HIAG claimed that 'Wenger has spent far more than us' on transfers, so it is incumbent on him to provide the evidence that he is using to make this claim.

So you're pointing out clear mistakes, on top of the ones that I've already highlighted, yet still want to go with those figures?
That makes no sense whatsoever. There are loads of mistakes, but it suits what you've claimed. It's that simple.

You know that the relevant figure is wages and it's one that entirely accurate, too.
You don't want to include it, as it doesn't suit your argument.
 
Don't be so silly. It's obvious Spurs have spent more over the last few seasons, even after Ozil, Sanchez and Cech. Wenger penny pinched for ages due to the stadium deal. Not even Spurs would put up with Bendtner as long as Arsene did.
 
PIXIE, as I said to you before, you are the equivalent to the simpleton, on the bus, shouting at someone (me, in this case), to wiggle my arse. You can scream and scream as much as you like, but everyone on the bus can see that you are a simpleton who is continually screaming the same thing, over and over and over again, and they feel sorry for me. The fact that I refuse to wiggle my arse isn't a bad reflection on me, but your screaming, over and over and over again, does keep proving that you are a simpleton.

This entire episode has, now, become a major embarrassment to you.

Me, I am waiting for my stop, at which point I will be glad to have got away from you.

But, please, keep screaming.
<ok>

I am pointing out that when the total is added up, both sets of figures show that Spurs have vastly outspent Arsenal. Even if there are discrepancies, they both show that overall Spurs' spending is vastly greater than Arsenal's and the +/- margin, even assuming is much bigger than the individual discrepancies show, still do not counter the overall fact that Spurs' spending is greater than Arsenals.

I haven't used wages, because HIAG's original claim was based on Stan's article about manager's spending on transfers. He even admitted it wasn't about wages. Therefore we are talking about transfers.

I've asked you to define "the cost of a player" which you have steadfastly refused to do.

But you keep screaming, Chuckles.

I'm sure most people, including those who normally support your ****wittery, are highly embarrassed, now. Me, I think it's hilarious!
<laugh>

<laugh> You'd love that to be true. But all you have done is cower behind PNP and bottle answering my questions.

You made the claim that 'Wenger has spent far more than us'. So what evidence are you basing that on ?

Clearly you either can't read or you are as thick as **** <ok>

I answered your question about 'cost' several times.

Both sets of figures have been shown to be inaccurate. They can't even get the years of transfers right.
Why should anyone pay the slightest notice to them?
 
PNP, you're talking to a simpleton, mate!
<laugh>

He can't even find his own arsehole, let alone understand what you've been trying to tell him for three pages!

They may have discrepancies between the years, but overall they both show that Spurs' transfer spending vastly outstrips Arsenal's. The discrepancies would have to have a huge swing in the opposite direction to prove otherwise.

All you have done is cower behind PNP, whilst at the same time bottle my question and fail to back up your claim.

Why are you still bottling my question HIAG ?
 
Let's bring this back to the original claim that you made HIAG. 'Wenger has spent far more than us' on transfers.

What evidence are you basing that on ? and please provide the evidence that you are using.

Given that they're clearly wrong in a lot of cases and Arsenal don't reveal their figures, then they definitely could be miles out.
We don't have reliable figures to talk about.

So then we get back to the point which kicked this off, HIAG's claim that 'Wenger has spent far more than us' on transfers. What is he basing that on ?
 
Let's work out what you define as "cost."

If you are going to use dodgy half-information, then you "win" PIXIE (in much the same way that I will tell the screaming simpleton that he's "won" just before I hope off the bus at my stop and leave the sillyl fcuker to the Care-In-The-Community guys).

See, screaming simpleton's don't care about things like that, PNP. All they care about is the fact that they need to scream very loudly at nothing.

Dense doesn't even begin to describe you HIAG. I've told you several times that I am defining the cost on the same parameters of your orignal wum fail, that 'Wenger has spent far more than us' on transfers. It was the 'cost' that you tried to wum with.

Now, please provide the evidence that you are basing your claim that 'Wenger has spent far' more on.

Whilst you continue to cower behind PNP, talk **** and squirm out of answering my very straight forward question.
