Spend / Net spend of top 7 clubs over last 5 years (2010-2014)

2 Replies

During last season, I collated some data showing the total spend, and net spend of the top 7 clubs over the last 5 years. It provided a good insight into how each club was operating and seemed fairly popular. So I have updated it:

Net Spend

As with before, there are a few interesting trends:

1) In the last 5 years, City, Chelsea and Manchester United have a near identical net spend. So much for United fans’ claim that City and Chelsea ‘but the league.’

2) The move to the Emirates Stadium is starting to pay off for Arsenal, with an upward trend on spend over the last 4 years, showing that each year, we are freeing up more and more money.

3) Liverpool have spent a lot of money to win a single League Cup

4) Where did Everton find their money?

5) Spurs still need to sell to buy, even with the new TV deals. It further highlights why they need to move to increase income.

Arsenal’s season so far: A rollercoaster of highs and lows

The start of something….

Arsenal beating city in the Community Shield it gave me new hope new belief that we was going to be a force a contender to the title. We convincingly beat them and with out Ozil, Mertesacker, Theo .

Roll on day 1 of the new season crystal palace at home with a new manager . Last minute winner from Aaron Ramsey saved us from another 1st day of the season egg on the face . Man city seemed a life time away at some points through that game.

Still not signed anyone yet …. Still hoping for that big name

Besiktas away ….

I was drunk and don’t remember anything

Still guessing at who we was bringing in twitter now a wash with names

Everton away …

Was i shocked at Everton, not really Martinez sets up a good side & looked to of out witted Wenger. Tactically Martinez was spot on. I found myself screaming at the lack of chances & how we had set up. Thankfully Wenger saw sense and made the half time sub . I was shocked & Giroud transformed the game and we took it to Everton . Was we finally getting points out of games where we would have lost ?

Sadly Giroud would get injured some might have been happy not me i liked him

NOW WE NEEDED A STRIKER …. STILL NO SIGNING I CAN FEEL ME HATING WENGER FOR NOT STRENGTHENING AGAIN. DEJAVU HAS SET IN

Besiktas at home

The money spinner . The money spinner . Sanchez cost 35m his goal earned us 35m minimum. You little beauty . We again was champions league. Mancs & yids sat and watched in hope we would fail again we did not.

STILL NO FUCKING SIGNING … If you on twitter at this point the guessing and hoping become ridiculous. With a DM & CF desperately needed .. Panic is setting in that we have blown it . I am pissed off at what might have been . I am now writing us off .

Leicester away.

Simply wasteful and shit. With no presence up front and less flair then a damp firework it was safe to say the chants of SIGN A FUCKING STRIKER WERE WARRANTED .

Monday. Transfer deadline day.

Hour by hour Arsenal were fruitless while the mancs were clearly doing major business . ( crazy wages ) . News breaking That Danny Welbeck is having a medical & will sign for £16m . My immediate reaction … WHAT A FUCKING LOAD OF SHIT. WENGER YOU ARE A CUNT.

After actually ignoring my own ignorance and thinking about balance and the squad I think Welbeck given the opportunity can deliver for us . He was hugely rated by Ferguson and that has to be something in its own. Yes I wanted a big superstar name but equally glad we never gave a player £350k a week. Restoring some self-pride in the club that says we want to do it right. We want to achieve our way not the way others have & i hope we do.

Roll on City . Hopefully we start an early Kick off WELL this season and Super Danny Welbeck comes up with the goods .

Thanks for reading GT
