Mate just what is this obsession with 'net spend' all about? It's competely irrelevant - except when it is blatantly taken outside of its proper context (that Koeman has stated time and again he will not be bullied into buying dross because some fans just want to see money spent). No matter how much more you think we've recouped than spent (also not true - where does your 30m+ sold come from??!), the 'playing squad' has been improved - including, thankfully, by a great crop of academy and/or cheap (DCL) youngsters coming in - so again, money spent is not the measure of success.

Would love to see a couple of CL class players come in and push us on - when available - and then we will see if there's financial backing or not. But for now who gives a flying one if we have a zero net spend in this particular window?

Above is effectively our 1st team squad right now. Commendable most of the dross has been shipped out but we are woefully short at full back cover, need another centre half if we're persisting with 3 at the back, criminally short of support/competition for Rom. Squad is way imbalanced too. we don't need that many players capable of playing centre mid. I was quite chilled about our business up to now, but laying that squad down on paper I'll be quite annoyed if we don't strengthen a few areas tomorrow. It's quite poor planning in my book.
