    if you include oscar's january transfer then chelsea and arsenal are 2 of the bottom 3 net spenders.

    because chelsea bought no one in january so they are running a net positive transfer outlay in 2017. for a team run by a russian oligarch that is pretty surprising

    Congratulations on being able to include a stupid price for a player from a league that would bid 25 million on the shit Ronaldo took this morning so that your math works out

    Fuck Wenger. I can't belive after the Lacazette signing I actually thought they'd spend this cycle.

    Being an Arsenal supporter is just painful at this point. If we don't at least win Europa I might be done

    You spent 155 million, second only to City, and are playing the "wow we didn't do anything" card?

    Chelsea has a lot of fans that really care about their net spend for some reason. There's no way Roman is too bothered about it, especially with the tens of millions he has lost over the years sacking managers all the time.

    Not 100% sure on the accuracy but most of the names look right. Can't remember this many big names running a contract down under a year in recent seasons.

    I thought that was the case. That was the one that didn't look right. Was surprised that with all of the coverage on ozil/Sanchez, no one has really discussed Shaw, Herrera, mata and blind all in the last year. I know ozil/Sanchez are more important to Arsenal but the united players haven't really been discussed in the media at all

    City signing Alexis for less than £1 million in January will really help buck the trend of outrageous spending.

    The beginning of the clip makes it seem like they signed Aiden McGeady. That definitely would have made everything worse.

    Things get good here. Andy Reocho really dug his heels in on Salah and was arguing with like 5 people about how bad the signing was

    I was always a Virgil lover. So sad.





    So LFC break rules and then have no honor and sign Virgil anyway after releasing that statement.



    Good call here about Alexis







    This LFC GK talk made me laugh but that Karius line considering the UCL final that followed. He did not.

    They’re not all gotchas. Some are there to provide context of the discussion. Some are bad takes. Some are pats on the back.

    My backing of Douglas Costa in the Salah discussion is not a highlight
