Re: the amount spent.
I think some people on here are not realising what 140 mil can buy you these days, especially when we needed around 10 players to stand still.
Their reaction to seeing that number reminds me of my nan asking me to go to the chippy and get fish and chips for everyone and giving me 50p, which was clearly not enough for the task at hand.
Not absolving DS mind, the only one player who seems to have improved this season is Luiz, and that appears to be a reflection of his own drive and motivation. All the rest have regressed.
