Just something I wanted to do, others might find it interesting or they might not.
THIS is not a thread to pat David Moyes on the back, nor is it a thread to compare his spend with other Clubs, its just something I found interesting.

I used
http://www.transferleague.co.uk/prem...transfers.html as a source, I scanned thru the ins and outs, they all seem "legit", the thing that "worrys" me the most is Darron Gibson £2,000,000 and Nikica Jelavic £6,000,000.
Both these deals seem high considering amounts we have been told, but I will use these figures, even tho I suspect they are incorrect.
To break it down, its 5.6m over 11 Years.
Now untill 09 we nearly always had a Net spend, in 09 things changed, there was a shortfall in the "Lescott" deal and since then we have had minus Net spends, last Year we sold lots and bought nothing till January, infact we went 2 and a half years without signing anybody.
So prior to 09 we spent 27.4m and from 09 to 12 we spent -21.8m, what did happen in 2009?
