Net spend ignores what you have in the squad already - we're new to the Prem so have little of value to sell, that's if we wanted to sell them. If a team has been in the Prem for a longer period, their overall squad cost (value?) will be way higher because they bought - and sometimes sold - over...
Why? Villa spent £150m last Summer alone. Fulham similar amounts the Summer before. The Man City side that caned us cost an average of £50m per player!
It costs a fortune to buy a competitive squad in the Prem.
I love the "get players who only need one touch and who score goals for fun" type comments. Why haven't the Albion thought to do that before!!
I think the club will:
Ship out a few of the old guard: Glenn (thank you GM, you're a lege), Duffy, Dale and Bernardo (sadly, thought he had it). AJ...

The thing is, the word "debate" suggests that both sides are prepared to listen to the arguments and could, might, possibly, would change their minds. In a debate, youare seeking to make your point assuming the person you are debating with is prepared to hear a different opinion to their own. I...

Not sure if it has been explored yet, but does he have an issue to his left hand side? Even last night's amazing save was his right hand coming across. He seems vulnerable to shots low to his left. Might just be me seeing what I want to in order to support a theory.
And yet he had his contract as a Premier League manager extended this season and you do what exactly? I'll go with his approach on this rather than your one dimensional, out dated, uninformed thoughts thanks.
And btw, it's fewer not less.
Yes, but I am trying to get a sense of how many people are going to find it hard to commit the time that they used to to following the Albion. My suspicion is that a few people will decide that there is more to life, that the time commitment is too great (esp those living a long way from the...
