I know we have been pasted for over spending in the past but the below makes me feel pretty good about where we are and what we have spent vs how we are performing:

Excluding wages;

Torres, Hazard, Oscar, Willian = £135m
Aguero, Negredo, Silva, Navas = £105m
Young, Rooney, Van Persie, Valencia = £83m
Giroud, Walcott, Cazorla, Ozil = £80m
Soldado, Eriksen, Lamela, Chadli = £75m
Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling = £44m
 
Fairly confident we'd be the lowest on wages for those too

Suarez: £170k
Sturridge: £70k (Not sure?)
Coutinho: £30k
Sterling: £30k

Total - Rooney's £300k per week!

Great to see. Some of the expensively assembled forward lines above come nowhere near as close us ours for goals scored either. I guess it shows that there is value out there.
 
Good OP.

It would interesting to add in the wages too. I'm 99% certain we'd be bottom of that list too.

So basically our failings in previous transfer windows are starting to balance out a bit!!

FFS...<doh>
 
Sad thing about that is that none of those sets of players are homegrown from each team's respective academies. It could be argued that Sterling is, but we did poach him from QPR. Just goes to show that, currently, you have to buy to succeed. We shall see whether FFP does actually make a difference, but it will take another 5 years to see.
 
Add the other options in the squads for some teams and the prices get wilder.

Chelsea: Eto'o £32m
Man City: Jovetic £22m, Nasri £25, Dzeko £27m.

Was Eto 32mil??

That's ****ing insane if he was. I thought he was around 10mil(ish)?? But have no idea to be honest!!
 
It just shows BR is doing a great job and FSG will be happy! If we get Champion's League, though, covetous eyes will visually rape our assets and I could see our wages increasing accordingly.

Agger can go to Barca and Skrts can go to City. They will actually be doing us a favour if they go.
We shall prevail with Marmaduke and Kolo, which should totally be the name of a 1950s children's comic strip.
