2019/2020 The worst transfers for a season in our club’s history that. Absolute abominations the lot of them.

 

[blulouie]

Transfer outgoings for the same period.
16/17 £54.72
17/18 £113.74
18/19 £25.79
19/20 £79.02
20/21 £ 3.98
21/22 £41.40

Total £328.01 mil

Thats from transfermarkt.

Btw
Zouma 7.11 loan fee
Sidibe 2.25 loan fee.

Convertered to Euro's = € 393.129 mil

Thats not accounting the obvious wrong figures for Zouma & Sidibe.

 

[blulouie]

So according to transfermarkt
Thats a nett spend of € 219.671mil over 6 seasons = € 36 .611mil per season.

Interesting to see other clubs spending over the same period.

Thats is transfermarkt are legit like.

Holy [Poor language removed]. Imagine if a random good manager (i.e. Carlo) had this much money at disposal.

The numbers are all made up.

Not sure why you posted this?

Think it's to resolve the debate about whether or not we've been clever in the transfer market

I could understand that perspective if the numbers werent false.

The problem is 17/18, if we had bought well that season we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. A smattering of better signings in other seasons (although not great either).

What would be interesting - if anyone could be arsed - would be to look at the 4 or 5 or 6 best transfers in the league each of those seasons (with the benefit of hindsight) and play a game of the best we could have bought with the same money.

When I was interesting, I guess I mean depressing.

2017/18 was a killer. Look at the long list of absolute dross that was brought in then. You can only really make a case for Pickford being the only good signing out of the lot.

2019 also. Killed the momentum we had built up in the 2018-19 season. Iwobi, Delph, Gbamin, Gomes, Kean for upwards of 100 million.

2019 / 20 was a spectacular year for absolutely shocking purchases
