Listening to 5live 606 while in the car earlier. They were saying that Villa forked out £52m on players in the summer. Given they paid a few bob for McCormack it might well be true, but it did seem a little high overall. If it is true, it proves that you can easily throw cash at the wrong signings. Many on here will recall a few high cost failures here, but even accounting for inflation and how football has changed I wouldn't say it's as spectacular as Villa... It is true they spent over £50Million. £15M on Kodjia, £12M on McCormack, £8M on Chester, £5M on Tshibola, £4M on Jedinak, £4M on Gollini, £3M on Elphick and £2M on De laet. Adomah supposedly £5M. That equals closer to £60M by my calculations. However the net spend is more around half that after player sales. |

If Town got promoted this season and those sort of signings happened, it would be like a re-make of the Dawn of the Dead, all of 'em wearing Town shirts...
