Yes, City spent massively, and won the Premier league twice before FFP, whereas you hadn't won it in a decade and were barely qualifying for the CL, yet manage to spend far more than anyone bar Chelsea. Arsenal lost their big players for nothing, whereas City financed Haaland with the PROFIT from selling their **** to you.

Correct...? I've got no problem with teams spending money. Couldn't care less. Newcastle should be able to go wild if they wanted. But I'm also not having any boring garbage about a team 'not spending much' when 14 of their squad cost 50m+.

I said they've spent far less than the teams mentioned OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, which is the period of time used to calculate FFP.

Newcastle have spunked half a billion.

hardly hands tied behind their back stuff. Best bit of business seems to be Isak. But was by no means an unknown risk at £60m plus.

But that's because they accumulated their team expensive stars years ago so haven't need to buy them again recently - just sporadic refreshing. Take inflation into account and they've got fourteen players in their current squad that cost at least 50m euros. (Marmoush, Gvardiol, Nunes, Doku, Haaland, Phillips, Grealish, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Walker, Silva, Stones, KDB). And then take into account all the other big money players they've bought ages ago and then, for quite a lot of them, sell and use those funds to shout out about 'low net spend' (Sane, Jovetic, Dzeko, Sterling, Otamendi, Jesus, Mendy, Mahrez, Cancelo, Danilo, Torres, Alvarez).

Liverpool have eight current 50m+ euro players (Szoboszlai, Nunez, Diaz, Jota, Alisson, Konate, VVD, Salah).

Arsenal have five (Rice, Havertz, Partey, White, Jesus).

To try and claim some sort of moral high ground of 'look at their low net spend' or 'they've spent less than Arsenal and United' when said team is filled with £1bn+ worth of bought talent is disingenuous.

City have spent absolutely loads and are no doubt going to get no charges whatsoever for doing so. Ah well.

But without PSR, they'd also have an unreal backline, another top notch wing forward and a top-5 in the world manager.
