This season:
Burnley: spent almost 40m including 11m on one player.
Norwich: spent over 10m on one player.
Watford: biggest signing was 8m.
The season before:
Fulham: spent 14m on a player and 8m on another.
West Brom: spent 8.5m on one player.
Sheffield United: biggest transfer 300k.
Correct. All of them were signed in the last five years, and not all of them were in one season. They’ve been signing individual players for £10m+ for five years.
All of those were in the last five years. Not all of them were in the same season. Nothing wrong with what I said. They have been spending £10m+ on individual players since 2018.
Joao Carvalho, Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate, Orel Mangala, Emmanuel Dennis, Neco Williams, Danilo, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Morgan Gibbs-White. Nine players in five years. Three of them cost at least 20m and one was close to 30m.
It is. They have spent £10m plus on individuals numerous times in the last 5 years. In addition to this, they have laid out fees in the region of £5-10m on many more players. This isn’t including any ‘undisclosed’ fees they have paid in that time. Not that it matters any more, due to the changes in the club’s finances thanks to their route to promotion, participation in the Premier League, and potential parachute payments on relegation, there won’t be any ‘reverting to type’ for a few years at least.
He’s saying we would have been 3-1 up if Colak passed to Sakala. I’m not sure if I’d have confidence in Sakala hitting the target, but he had a far better chance of scoring than Colak did.
They’ve said it before then and after then. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been used commonly for a number of years. It’s not even unique to Scotland, it’s been a common term online across football circles for years.
