After Coutinho's sale, Liverpool have the lowest net spend in the Premier League over the last 2 years,at -£34 million
The next lowest is Swansea with -£19 million, while the two highest are Man City with £292million & Man Utd with £257million.
Just seen this. And this is on top of the fact we had 150mill plus to spend last summer pre Coutinho saga. We really haven't spent anything over the last few years and we can afford to splurge and have a one off spending spree.
We aren't going to have City/Utd money every summer but the money is there.
I do remain sceptical as to weather they will spend it. They're the masters of PR bluster.
No fan wants to win the net spend trophy.
Since August 2008, when Sheikh Mansour bought Manchester City and started on that crazy spending binge, here's the total amount spent on player purchases by each of the big 6 premiership clubs to date:
Arsenal: ......................£444,515,000
Chelsea: ......................£924,559,000
Liverpool: ....................£657,450,000
Man City: ..................£1,261,300,000
Man United:................. £811,650,000
Tottenham: ..................£548,650,000
While Liverpool has not spent anywhere near the astronomical sums City has spent so far just on buying players, Liverpool supporters can hardly claim that their club hasn't really spent anything over the last few years ... they have certainly significantly outspent Arsenal and Tottenham (and the above figure does not include the £75,000,000 spent on VVD this window)!
