We're well better than they are and have a higher wage bill and much less wealthy owners. plus we'll sign 2 before the window is out.

They've sold though, looks like they could be losing two of their most important players too, collocini and ba, wait til February 1st to judge.

tbf they were running at about a £45M negative net spend over the last 3 years, before the start of this window. So they're hardly one to be envied.
Not sure if we have a much higher wage bill tbh mate.
We might loan 2 players, can't see us buying two at all really.
A higher wage bill anyway.
Not convinced on that one.
The season before last we were paying 4 million more then them, since then ours has risen five million and they've bought loads and loads of french internationals.
Not convinced ours is still higher.

Maybe not, but I seem to recall a wages table that had us in 7th only behind, Man UTD, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and QPR
quasi modo
Player Valuation: £50m
I can see "We'll go with what we've got" being a very popular phrase coming out of Goodison at the end of the month.
Using net spend doesn't tell the whole story though, considering they got £35m for selling a single player.
Since last Summer they've spent £12m net, and look to be bringing in at least two more players. Over the Summer and January transfer windows their total spends might run as high as £25m.
Meanwhile we're looking at loan deals.
That report was published in May 2012 and the info is from the start of the 2011/12 season it looks like. They've bought a fair few players since then.

Using net spend plus wages, tells the whole story, as that is the totally investment in players.
The fact that they managed to con £35M out of the ****e for Carroll is the entire reason that they've been able to invest since.
Albeit until this window opened their net spend was still minus £45M over the previous 3 years.
We pay big wages and Newcastle are trying to recruit younger/cheaper players to keep the bill down whilst we pay johnny £65k a week whilst they couldn't afford that much for remy in my opinion i'd be surprised are they paying more than us.
As for two signings , I agree with the poster above I think two loans at best unless we sell of something dramatic occurs.
