Time for LVG to spend the equivalent of a third world country's GDP to try and turn things round.

Otta Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I did see this quote yesterday."Louis van Gaal has spent c.?230m on transfers in 14 months at Man Utd. Which is about ?100m more than Swansea have spent. In their history."Although as a Liverpool fan I can't really talk.

red devil Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Not quite half a billion though is it? That figure isn't the net spend either, which takes into account money received from sales. Yes Liverpool have spent a lot the past couple of summers, but they have also received a lot for Suarez and Stirling. I previously posted a link to this summer's current net spend table. So far Utd's net spend this summer is ?14.5m, although that's debatable as German papers reported that we bought Basti for ?6m, not the British press oft quoted ?14m. Add in the latest fee received for Evans and it's an actual profit. Of course that could all change in the next 36 hours... NET SPENDS THIS SUMMER1 Manchester City: ?66.5m2 Newcastle: ?46m3 Chelsea: ?29m4 Crystal Palace: ?25.5m5 Watford: ?24.5m6 Leicester City: ?20m7 Liverpool: ?19m8 Bournemouth: ?18.5m9 West Ham: ?16m10 Manchester United: ?14.5m11 Stoke: ?14m12 Norwich: ?10m13 Swansea: ?8.5m14 Arsenal: ?8m15 Sunderland: ?6.5m16 Everton: ?5.5m17 Aston Villa: ?4.5m18 West Bromwich: ?3m19 Southampton: -?12.5m20 Tottenham: -?13m Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/220/#findComment-894459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm really not surprised that Spurs are at the bottom of that table what with the new stadium to finance. I think that trend will continue for some years yet. More lean times for us I reckon.

I don't get it.Me neither. So far we've let RVP, Falcao and now Hernandez go, all No. 9s, with no direct replacement(s). Rooney is no No.9, he even wears No.10.In wide positions we've offloaded Nani, and bought in Depay, happy with that. But now Martial comes in and Januzaj is going out on loan to Dortmund, i.e. we loan out one promising young wide player and buy another for ?36m. Genius. Oh, and we could've had Pedro for ?15m less. And despite all this, we still need a fooking No.9!...

Even more mystifying Martial was offered to Spurs 7 weeks ago for 20 million euros, United now paying 36 mill, bargain, and not at all desperate or over the odds. And to think fans thought Moyes was clueless. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/220/#findComment-894731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we did well to get that much, with Navas coming the other way, surely an upgrade on Romero. An interesting Tweet from Sky's man in the know in Spain, Guilem Balague, was that LVG put a stop to Utd offering De Gea improved terms back in the Spring because he wanted Navas instead. Brave decision if true.PD's latest gem has come from a Stan Collymore Tweet...nuff said.It was reported back in June that Spurs had a ?19m offer turned down for Martial. I reckon Monaco had no intention of selling him whilst there was a chance they could qualify for the Champions League. That ended last week when they lost to Valencia. As well as Spurs, Chelsea had been sniffing around him too, so there might have been a bit of a bidding war that upped his price. With all the money that's going to be sloshing around in the PL next season, foreign clubs will keep on demanding these silly prices...
