tom_avfc Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) What a team! What a manager! Pre-season predictions of a top 4 challenge might have been a bit premature. Maybe Karen Carney was on to something after all? Edited January 16, 2021 by tom_avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Karen Carney is probably thinking to reactivate her Twitter account. No goals 7 conceded in the 3 games since her comments, maybe she had a point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted January 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2021 Globally in 2020, transfers took a dive according to https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/transfers-plunge-globally-but-premier-league-defies-pandemic-in-2-billion-blitz/news-story/39a70614dac0d9fddcf38576c7790300 The most interesting bit? Quote Unsurprisingly, English clubs spent by far the most, with transfer fees totalling some $US1.63 ($A2.1bn) billion, followed by Italian clubs who spent a combined $US731.5 million ($A950m) on international moves. Spanish clubs received the most, the report said, with $US785.7 million ($A1000). Without giving a specific figure, FIFA said that Chelsea spent the most of any club in Europe ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City, followed by Barcelona, Juventus and Leeds United. I hadn't realised how much they have spent on their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job they've got the best manager in the world ever or else they might get some kind of criticism in the press for spending so much money. I know the press are reluctant to make such accusations though. I wonder how much they've spent compared to us if you take away the money spent on making loan signings permanent and replacing released/returned first team starters?

They spent about £100m in fees plus loan fee for Harrison. They recouped nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've got a spread bet on them getting less than 50 points. At present that's looking good.....i think they will land around between 38/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
