Yeah I’ve seen these sites touting these figures as well. I just don’t buy it, we weren’t overly keen to buy him at the time so I’m not sure we would have put him amongst our top earners.
Absolutely, the defence was exposed over and over again. I don’t he’s a bad signing at all but coming in with a big price tag and high expectations in a team lacking leaders could lead this to all going tits up.
Looks like Southampton did the smart thing and upped the price
Will be interesting to see how Liverpool get on, they’ve sold off a lot of experience and leadership in one go and it might backfire.
I’m talking about net spend over 5 years figures are from transfer market. I just found it interesting you lot had spent even more over that period despite them going absolutely mental.
