Thought the bid we rejected was more than fair tbh. If Eddie is still an arsenal player than we've really pooed the scrooch here

Someone like Bournemouth/Wolves/Palace will probably take him.

They signed a better player in Wahi for same price.

Nah, all teams have thrown money up the wall.

Spurs have spent nearly £1.5bn on players in that time, for example. With precious little to show for it.

Historically, if you want to go past 11 years ago, no-one has wasted more money than Spurs trying to regain the league title. It's not even close. Nearly £600m more than the next worse.

I took it as the original comment was referring to non PL clubs who don't have the PL TV money??

It was, but it's striketeens

We’ve wasted loads, but not sure you can base it on the title - Gareth Bale wasn’t a waste of money for instance because we didn’t win the title - that’s just nonsensical.

Are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person.

Would we still like you when you are angry? Presumably not as you strike children

Yeah, like I said, all teams not just United. Spurs was just one example. Probably the best example though.

United are the best example in the last 10 years, Chelsea in the last 3 years. Spurs have sold players for huge profit - Kane, Bale, Modric and qualified multiple times for the CL after only being in it’s equivalent once before that - it’s all relative

Wahi does come with baggage however ....

When you look at the likes of Brewster going for 25 plus from Liverpool a few years ago then I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for £30 million. That being said its a difficult balancing act to accept clubs on the continent don't have the same finances as clubs in this country but also we need to make sure these clubs don't take mick. I'm sure he will still go come deadline day whether that's permanently or on a loan. Him still being here though shouldn't be an excuse to not get a forward player whether that's a wide player or someone central.

brewster wasnt on anywhere near 100k+ a week was he? signing nketiah on a 5 year contract is 26m assuming he stayed on a similar wage signing brewster on a 5 year conttract less than 9m. brewster fee + contract 32m, nketiahs well over 50m more than likely. Also sheff utd had the prem money.

Yep, everyone disregards the wages too easily

when you give players like nketiah and hudson odoi 100k+ you rule outt 95 % + of the clubs to sell to unless they are willing to take a pay cut to play footy more often or other reasons.

carvalhos just joined brentford he was on around 40k a week that would put thim as their 3rd top earner behind mee and raya whos just left, toneys on 20k a week most clubs simply cant afford big fees ontop of big salaries.

We’ve been in a CL final more recently and had just as many title challenges in the same time period

A club like United should be winning things all the time - Spurs not so much.
