They’ve spent about 400m in the last few years, coutinho only went for 120m right? Some of which went to Inter.
Significant sales recently:
Danny Ings to Southampton 20m
Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth 19m
Coutinho to Barcelona 120m
Mamadou Sakho to Palace 25m
Christian Benteke to Palace 28m
Jordon Ibe to Bournemouth 18m
Raheem Sterling to Emirates Marketing Project 57m
Luiz Suarez to Barcelona 73.5m
There are dozens of players in the 1-15 million bracket. We could really use another Bournemouth, Palace or Stoke to buy our rejects for obscene amounts.
They have spent a lot for several years now, but recouped most of it with sales. Imagine if Levy sold Kane, Eriksen and Alli to fund new players the way they have sold Suarez, Coutinho and Sterling.
This image, which hopefully is readable, doesn't include the 40m they got for Solanke and Ings.
