Your points ignore context. But you seem overjoyed that Newcastle United won 4-1 tonight so that you can emphasise them.
Fair play.

My original point had context, that you sold your two goalscorers and he's still doing better. Try again.

He replaced them with (by his own admission) his signings who cost far more.
You’re proper buzzing we won. As am I.

And he's doing better than him as a result. Pleased we got there in the end.

Not really though, 30m perez and the Rondon deal was going to be about 15m to do. That money got spent on joelinton and Carroll instead.
Or is net spend not a thing any more just like counting points?

Wey, it wasn’t a thing on here for the last few years so why should it be now?
Can’t have it both ways.

Again, why have YOU changed YOUR metrics?
Here’s you using net spend in as a negative.
Rafa Benitez has a sobering message for relegated teams as Sunderland edge towards the Championship
Agree with most of this. The Villa thing is really just used to bat away "Well you've bought the league" accusations. Spending a shit ton is no guarantee and you still need to buy the right players for the right positions in the squad and play them in the right system. The team we have is a...

We've got rid of the rotten core, now we just need rid of the gnome core.

I've not changed my position on it though, I still don't think it's a relevant argument. What I'm asking why you've gone from thinking it's relevant to now thinking it isn't?Here’s you using net spend in inverted commas as to discredit it

Baffles me why you are bringing it into the discussion then.
Why are you missing the Saint Maximin signing out, btw?
Of course it’s relevant imo but Bruce has spent more than we brought in on forwards and the goalscoring return from them has been less. That’s on him.

Include St maximin. But include Almiron too.
Is "the forwards scored less though" your next line if you end up in 10th this year?
Bruce has done better than Benitez. That's on him too.

Bruce didn’t sign Almiron so why would I include him in your net spend discussion?

Another game Rafa gets shown up to be shite again.

Yes Benitez did. One for each.
Right, so £45m (I’ll agree with Robson’s valuation) in and ~£56m out.
~£11m deficit from a much lower return from the two. Bruce, eh...
And no, I don’t care where the goals come from but you specifically brought up us losing our forwards.
