Gross Spend / Net Spend / Wages

[mkrudden]

net or gross doesnt matter, Ask the shi...Liverpool.

What you always want is to finish any window stronger than you were when it opened.

Roberto? My love? Is that you?

Has anyone compared the fees for Niasse and Coleman yet?

This a billion times.

Says it all really.....

Wage levels are the best predictor of performance over the long term. It's a simple equation, market forces dictate that the better players can demand higher remuneration and the big wage bill teams therefore have assembled players who will, over time, produce superior results.
Leicester were the once in a lifetime outliers who regressed to the mean the following season. We ourselves were notable outliers under Moyes.
If we are to bridge the sizeable gap without massive net expenditure we'll need to invest in young players, while they have relatively lower wage demands, and develop them into top performers. A Spurs type model which is what we seem to be pursuing.

I just choose the one with "you daft tit in it".

Me too !

We're loaded lads, lets not worry about what stuff costs

Aye, we're loaded mate, but, unfortunately, the teams that finished above us last season are more loaded, with ManUtd, Chelsea, Citeh, Liverpool and Arsenal being considerably more loaded than we are, and we're a fair way off Tottenham.

In fact the likes of West Ham and Newcastle are, in terms of "loadedness", in much the same ballpark that we are, so it's not enough to be loaded, you need to make the most of the money you've got, and aim to bridge the cash gap by being clever.

See Bullet's point for the most likely way we're going to do that.

A Common Tern i believe

I'm no twitcher, but I believe it's an Arctic Tern.

To be honest, I had no idea who, or what @MorgsGoat was going on about with his TERN reference, so with ignorance being bliss and all that, I decided to focus on something I vaguely understood

Pretty certain as of right now, Lukaku is still an Everton player, so net spend £83M

Key words, these. Carry on, dave.

I don't hear much talk of Barkley lately. Why is that?

He'll leave in the final week of the window. Spurs will wait.

£25M on the nose is my guess.

I hope so. We need to see that £75M raised to at least £95M or this club has been ripped off big time.
