Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Deleted member 1740]

Not it’s not Stu, ( the next two years).the table that I posted was only the top 30, it’s from a table that’s actually a top 100. But would of taken me an hour to break it down. Anyway City have quite a few players in the other 70 that helps make up the money City have spent over the last 10 years. But again the focus was turned on City not other players who were on that list. ?

The one you posted was the most expensive players, again accurate and factual. The table LP posted was again accurate and factual.

Are you saying the previous 2 years Citys spending was considerably lower and wouldve moved City from top of the spending league?

Looking at their transfer these seem the bigger ones in th 80’s

Cole
Berg
Stam
Yorke
Keane
Barthez

Assume that was a fat finger moment and you meant 90's. Just had a look by year at their biggest transfer fee.....

90/91 - Irwin 630k
91/92 - Paul Parker 2.2m (also Kanchelskis 900k, Schmeichel 675k)
92/93 - Cantona 1.6m (also Dublin 1.4m)
93/94 - Keane 7.7m
94/95 - Cole 8.7m
95/96 - Coton 520k
96/97 - Poborsky 3.6m (alos Cruyff 2.3m, Solksjaer 2.2m, Johnson 2m)
97/98 - Berg 6.8m (also Sheringham 4.8m)
98/99 - Yorke 17.3m (also Stam 15.3m, Blomquist 6.3m)

You got most of them but Barthez was 2000/2001. So they probably were the biggest spenders of the decade as Blackburn only spent big for a few seasons and then dropped away.

No am positive it would of contributed, But am also positive it would of shown quite a few more City players that were not cheap. The trouble was that the table cameoutlikethisandiwasnotgoingtospendallnightputtinginfullstopsandcommas. ???

Apologies for going back to football but two very interesting line ups for City and Madrid

No Bale for Madrid but City

No Sterling , No Aguero and no Fernandino

I thought they wanted to win the comp ?

Fair play to city they got a result but geez how bad were Madrid. At 1-0 up they went so slow and defensive minded rather than most Madrid sides of the last 20 years that wouldve pressed on and tried to finish City off. The equaliser just gave City some confidence and Madrid got even deeper and deeper and there was only one winner

Laporte injury a big worry for City going forward, that said Fernandinho was excellent when he came on

Madrid are all about defensive solidity this year, it’s why they’re doing so well in the league albeit playing less attractive football.

upto and including 99/00

Utd £79.85m
liverpool £96.075
arsenal £84.04
newcastle £132.665
chelsea £85.74
spurs £72.05
leeds £78.13
everton 76.345

Only Searched ones I thought maybe higher than Utd.
So Utd weren’t the biggest, simply Because they only needed to add a few stars every few seasons.

Like this if you’re bored of the Peter/Paul/Phil snoozefest...

As boring as asking what time MOTD is on every week?

Its 10.30, BTW.

Bro.

Not seen any of the game tonight, but on a few threads I have seen. There’s much laughter about Ramos being sent off. Now forget City for a minute if you can. But how important could that professional foul be. At the moment it’s 2-1, not 3-1. I remember we had a natter about professional fouls a few weeks ago. If it was your team, would you be chuffed if a player had taken one for the team.

Leeds spent big in 90's

Much more than they could afford too.

Yes, over the moon. Anyone says different are telling porkies.

Madrid are still in it but I cant see them getting through.

I'm a fan of tactical fouling, it's part of the game. What I dont like is how refs let players get away with too many.

Sad but true. Real have to score 2 at city now, psychologically much more achievable than 3. 10 mins to go, 0-0 and they scramble a goal. Nerves, tension, panic sets in. If city had scored that 3rd then the next leg would be so much more relaxed.

Leeds spent big in 90's

Not really. Their big spending came in the very late 90s and into the early 2000s and was pretty short lived. They signed quite a few 4-5m players in 1999 but then Ferdinand was their first signing over £10m and they went big after that. Ferdinand, Dacourt and Viduka came in in 00/01, Keane, Fowler and Johnson in 01/02 and then the money dried up. They banked on winning the League or Champions League in that time but when that failed they very quickly ran out of money. They cashed in on Ferdinand, Woodgate and Robbie Keane in 2002 and that was the beginning of the end for them.

Given the mess of last year it’s a relative improvement, yea. There was no real love for a reappointment of Zidane but he’s doing a good job in a time of unrest at Real.

A year out on those boys, Davourt 99/00 and Keane 00/01. Keane being the first 10m+ that signalled the start of the end for em. CL gamble that failed hard. But hey, they had their night in Valencia and can call themselves the biggest team in the championship....

Depends where you look. I'd consider Dacourt a 00/01 signing as it wasn't agreed until May of 2000, which to me, makes him an 00/01 signing as he didn't play for them until that season. Same thing for Robbie Keane who signed in the April of 00/01 after being on loan at Leeds from December, the permanent transfer went through for the 01/02 season. Also, Keane permanently signed 5 months after Ferdinand who agreed to join Leeds in November and made his debut in December, so Ferdinand was their first £10m+ player.
