Why are they doing net spend totals with the window still open for another few weeks?
I don’t really get your angle on this one mate. If we somehow bring down our £65m net spend significantly by selling the dead wood you mentioned yesterday then it’s a massive result.
Our net spend was last summer and considering the wage increases, it was HUGE. I know Moshiri is ultimately responsible for how poorly the club used the funds but he gave his DOF and manager full control to use those funds and they failed.
If we fail to sell anyone for any real value this window, Moshiri has backed us once again. See Esk’s upcoming post about the financial side and how the club couldn’t have afforded it without a cash injection.
If anything I don’t want our net spend to be ridiculous as we need to be sustainable.
You have to admit that Moshiri has been after Marco (earlier in the season) and Marcel (two years) for a while now and this is the set up he wanted, and overall so far so good.
The likes of Mina joining when Lyon were seriously interested is concrete evidence that we’re much better run now.
