LOL. Even if we have spent around £50M on players, That's well below average in this league. When clubs in the top half are spending over £30M on just ONE player. And I'm not talking about the man cites and chelskis of this world.

At the moment our net spending is way way above average. In fact at £52m or so its 3rd in the league only behind City and United and thats in a year when (today i think) its passed the biggest year ever for spend.

Although as we know headline transfer figures are not a good gauge of total cost of ownership. I imagine we'd be much lower in a table of total money committed (fee, signing on, wages, etc.)

Yes. Its just one signal amongst many ways of defining spend/total football costs. Wages are a big chunk.
Although we have also committed this summer to big new contracts for Stephens, Knockaert, Dunk, and Duffy etc.

He is not very well known in Sweden. But starting to produce now in Brommapojkarna.

I think Brommapojkarna is the biggest club in Europe in number of players. 4000+ players, which is almost bigger than their fan base :p

They are famous for producing "quality players"...

That's because our squad is most likely valued the lowest in the league, an we have A LOT of catching up to do, if we intend to stay in this league.

He must be impressing in training. I think with another year if bulking up and experience he will be immense for us. A natural GM replacement.

TTF

It's a squad that is made up almost entirety of players plying their trade in their homeland. Still wjat an honour to represent your country.
