I was sitting down today bored so started scribbling down the players that have come in and gone since Kenny took over with rough estimates in terms of figures.
I came to the conclusion that once again compared to our rivals, our net spend is still much better than theirs.
Man United paid around £50million for their 3 summer signings. Man City spent another heap on Aguero, Nasri, Clichy...etc
Then I looked at us since Kenny has come in:
Suarez 23m, Carroll 35m, Henderson 20m, Adam 7m, Doni FREE, Downing 20m, Enrique 6m, Coates 7m and Bellamy FREE.
That all totted upto 117million.
Then for the players that left:
Torres 50m, Babel 5m, Krygiakos 1m, Poulsen 1m, Insua 1m, Jovanovic 1m, Ayala, Degen, ElZhar, Ngog 4m, Meireles 15m.
That all adds upto around 80million.
Its basically only the Andy Carroll fee that separates us from balancing the books.
So fair play to Kenny and NESV for improving our squad significantly without raping the club financially!
