It's not contradictory at all. He chooses the players within his budget so, whatever they cost isn' really his problem. He still brought that amount of players to the club.
What I'm saying is, your lot go in like he has a squad of Championship players at his disposal whereas who in the Championship is able to bring in that calibre of player?

It is like, you're saying he's spent £80m and when net spend is mentioned you say CEOs sell the players, surely they buy them too?

I'm sure our squad was labelled as such by some Sunderland fans on here at the beginning of the season when we were widely tipped to be relegated.

It probably was but, the fact remains, his ability to spend kn players over the past 2 years is akin with most Premier League clubs outside of the big 4.

Done a cracking job
Don’t mind him tbh - he was good to stay at Newcastle when they went down - I’m sure he could have had alternatives

This is where the net spend argument falls down, you can improve your squad and still have money in the bank.

How many clubs do. Also depends on you having a good scouting system. We sold Sissoko for 30m and Wijnaldum for 20 odd. Who in our squad that we bought do you think would command such a fee now?

Not many chances are if you spend less than you bring in your squad will be poorer, it's not an exact science.
Rafa's done well in his weeling and dealing but he's been backed by by the club. Fat Mike could have easily pocketed every penny.

Whats their sales got to do with it? Even if they had made £300m it still wouldn't change the fact he has spent £100m.

That's a fine logic but only if you're prepared to accept that losing your better players doesnt weaken your team. Such as Pickford or Defoe. If you have to replace these with cheaper modes it's difficult to improve.
The Mags net spending restrictions were of course far less severe than ours but to improve the team considerably while turning a profit is no mean achievement.

The fee you got for Sissoko was ridiculous, he wasn't worth anywhere near that. Spurs were took in by his few good games in the Euro's, he was pretty shit for you lot.

It still baffles me how you lot dont understand 'Net profit'. If i had a car that I then sold for 20k and I bought a new car for 5k I have a shitter car. Yes I may also have 15k but what good is that if I never use it? Rafa has done well with the squad he has.

Also he isnt above criticism and I have previously.

He’s done a great job, but we do understand net profit.
You were lucky selling sissoko and wjinaldum for the inflated fees you got.

Players leave, Defoe left on a free.

Rafa had nearly 100 million to spend on players. Net spend doesn’t come into it .

I’m pretty sure if Chris Coleman got 80 million for a few of our players :lol: he could put together a pretty good team in the championship with 100 million quid.
