General Transfer Thread Summer 2023

And th' timelines change again!!!

Bayern is the same has Celtic/Rangers.. they have zero competition. it will be their 11th league in a row if they win again.
Man-city will drop off a bit eventually all teams do in our league..

Celtic 'n' Rangers ur competition fur each other, sae tis nae th' same at all.

It’s simply stuff - some refuse to accept it, but despite the PR that has been doing the rounds to play down net spend - it is still a very good barometer to what precedes overall success in most cases - especially over the longer term. It is by no means an absolute - nothing is in this sport - but look at the clubs that have spent the wedge - and look at the big titles.

I have used it simply to highlight how amazingly well Jurgen Klopp has done. He competes in a different league to Real. There is no club even close to Real in our league - nor any other in fact. They are a one off. out on their own.

Th' tables ye posted contradict that. Even ye mist see that.

O' coorse that's why ye posted thaim. It hud nothin' tae dae wi' critising F$G.

Shut the fuck up

Such a pleasant bunch. Nae mah fault if yer posts ur ridiculously stupid 'n' ah point it oot.

[Steveo]

Wow - Gotta feel for the lad - gets more upset the more evidence is presented.

Timelines must be rigidly stuck to. Short term - long term and longer term, Nope - plays flute…. won’t be H’avin any of it,

Still… we can all look forward to the razor sharp wit and cunning insight Ray McCooney will offer up on the match thread tomorrow.

Can’t wait.

[JockStrap]

If we lose ye kin always blame F$G 'n' net spend 'n' then avoid all debate oan it.

Me, ah will juist enjoy watchin' mah team whitevur happens.

We have Klopp and he has his players, up against Pep and his players.

Can't believe you retreat to the net-spending after posting those tables of net spend.

Over the last 5 years:

1) Chelsea: £-673.62m

2) Manchester United: £-608.9m

6) Manchester City: £-314.28m

9) Liverpool: £-218.29m


● Real Madrid €-173.85m

Arguably the last 5 years are more prescient


Since 2014

1. United: €-1.326bill

6 Liverpool: €-451.86m

● Real Madrid
Since 14/15 €-193.15m
Since 13/14 €-255.15m

so CC here is Real - despite so much a small net spend since 2014 - WAY above us.

This is since 2000 too - go back further and Real will jump up higher and higher in that list. You cannot use their misery net spend to justify it as a method to winning. It ONLY worked for them because they had already spent the most and won the most.

Not sure why you're moving on to gross spend since 2000s

Real 2.268 B
Manu 2.098 B
Lfc 1.756 B
Bayern 1.266 B

Lfc spend under Fsg 1.439 B
Klopp 0.933 B
Rodgers 0.4 B
Kenny 0.106 B

Pre-fsg 0.317 B

By gross spend since 2000 were the 9th biggest club in the world, and 4th biggest club in the PL.

So why bring up net spend to make us look worse, if gross spend is what you deem most important.
