I'm sorry i don't normally post on here but this has proper wound me up - we have strengthened in Vicario, Maddison and Van De Ven. Veliz and Phillips are punts and are nowhere near ready for the first team. We have a huge amount of money to spend if we want to but yet again we will not push on when required. No ambition at all.Also whether people want to accept it or not, both Porro and Kulusevski have been signed this season following their “loans”.
With that in mind we have spent:
40 Maddison
35 Porro
35 Van De Ven
25 Kulu
17 Vicario
15 Veliz
3 Phillips
That totals £170m.
We have sold Kane and Winks for a combined £100m.
If we sign Johnson for £45m then that would take our net spend to over £100m which would be in the top ten net spend of teams in all of Europe.
Again, I’m not defending Levy here, but there needs to be a stop to the hyperbole of some posters just because we didn’t sign a player on loan from Barcelona.
