Not sure how accurate this is (it's from a guy on a wrestling board if you care) but i'd assume it's not too far wrong :

MANCHESTER CITY SPENT:94m RECEIVED:8m NET:-86m
NEWCASTLE UNITED SPENT:48.3m RECEIVED:0.42m NET:-47.88m
WBA SPENT:32.4m RECEIVED:2m NET:-30.4m
CHELSEA SPENT:61.95m RECEIVED:34.05m NET:-27.9m

STOKE CITY SPENT:21.55m RECEIVED:18.7m NET:-2.85m
SOUTHAMPTON SPENT:23.8m RECEIVED:37.5m NET:13.7m

We have the lowest spend on incoming players, the lowest amount of new players in and 4th lowest net spend and 6th lowest monies recieved.

It's not great. Could be worse but should be better.
 
With 2 days to go time is running out. If he fails with yarmolenko and leaves us with no one there can be no excuses.

Yeah mate. The manager is deliberately not signing a playmaker when he clearly stated he wanted one.

We've obviously got targets, whether or not the money is there (without sales) for them, is the real issue.
 
I agree. Stones for me needed to go. The owners said no. That means they then provide the cash for signings then doesn't it?...out of the cash they receive off the tv deal.
Oh come on. If Stones had of been sold the board would be blamed. Now he's stayed the board are still blamed. It's nonsense and you know it.

It was Martinez's decision. Personally I'm glad he stayed however if he needed to sell to buy I would have sold someone else. I forgot about Pione Sisto. There's still a chance we are after him.

Both U.S. and Spurs down near the bottom. I wonder what else we have in common.

Who said anything about deliberately. I think we missed our targets but that's still Martinez's fault.
 
Shall we leave out the Martinez/board bashing until the deadline has passed? This is all a bit pointless.



When have we ever left all our transfer dealings until the last day of the transfer window? Never, that's when. If we haven't signed someone by now, we'll never sign anyone and that's never been different. I can't even think of one time that's happened. Not one. Martinez OUT.

That's me convinced.

Hold on. The owners didn't want to sell Stones. We know that because they said so.

So why hasn't Martinez spent more than £4.5M? If he's being given cash and he's identified three positions needed to be filled, he'd spend it wouldn't he?
 
Have to say the more I watch us, the more flaws are apparent in the team.
I think there are legitimate concerns that Jags and Stones doesn't work as well as it should.
The Barry and McCarthy axis looks increasingly lacking both defensively and offensively. More worrying is that I don't see a central pairing in the squad that totally convinces me.

With Howard and Lukaku equally inconsistent, I'm not sure the spine of our team is as good as we think.
