Spend / Net spend of top 7 clubs over last 5 years

Was just doing a bit of research into the spend and net spend of the current top 7, thought I would share it with all.

Few interesting points:

1) Manchester City have spent a hell of a money for just 1 league title. Infact, they have spent £80m more in 5 years than Arsenal have during the entire Premier League era.

2) Alex Ferguson spent his last 3 years at Manchester United spending the Cristiano Ronaldo money. Very shrewd. Moyes has spent 67.7m taking the team backwards,

3) Liverpool have a net spend similar to Manchester United, is 1 (potential) title really a success then?

4) Arsenal have pretty much broken even over the period, showing just how much we had to tighten our belt.

5) Spurs have had to sell to buy over the last 5 years as they plan the new stadium. Previous years, they have always had a commodity to sell (Bent, Modric, Van Der Vaart, Bale). Do they have the players to sell this summer to enable themselves to rebuild?

Just some thoughts really. Proper blog to come later.

10 Reasons why we will beat Everton, again+starting 11

4 Replies

1) We smashed them 4-1 in the FACUP, ok the scoreline flattered us, but a win is a win.

2) Diaby is back in training, the way some people go on about him is he’s a cross between Vieira and Brady, when infact he’s got more limbs than he’s had good games for us.

3%) Ramsey is back, personally I hope he doesn’t play more than 20 mins and is saved for the more important FACUP game next weekend.

4) We have scored more goals and won more games against Everton than any other team, ever. If we win today it will be our 100th victory.

5) The Arsenal away – won 9, drawn 2 lost 5

6) Everton at home – won 11, drawn 3, lost 1

7) The 2nd half against Man City is the best we have played for months.

8) It’s took him a few games but Wenger finally worked out Flamini must start in the middle and Ox must not start in the middle with Arteta.

9) Only Man Utd have won more away games than us this season.

10) Wenger knows, this game is all important for the famous 4th place cup the club value so much.

Likely starting 11 – Chesney, Sagna, TV, BFG, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Rosicky, Santi, Ox, Giroud.

My quid is on a 3-1 away win, 22/1 at William hill who are matching upto £25 on new accounts.
