You'll get used to Dyche again and his obsession with other clubs finances. He always tends to forget about their signings.
If they've got no money again, then someone is trousering a lot of money up there, especially as they sorted their ground infrastructure a while back too..
Good post. We really like Ake..but...we weren't that amazing defensively (not that we are brilliant in that department anyway) when he was in the side. But he can play in the PL, as you said and can pop up and score a few too - scored for us again Stoke, Soton and Liverpool.
£15 million - and...
Ibe is the biggest let down so far. Mings was doing well until the Zlatan incident, but should still improve. Gradel is in and out of the team - he was £7 mill I think. So patchy to be honest! Hey ho..
The cheaper ones and existing players have stepped up well.
Yeah, I suppose he'll still be a one club manager until he moves up- I think the fact that we've still got a bulk of players from the Lge1 in the team is a testament to his coaching ability. Signings have been a bit hit and miss, but there you go. if Lewis Cook keeps improving early season then...
ok - glad it worked out ok in the end :-) You have got to do it when the money keeps going up each season. Just pointing out there is value dotted about too.
Yeah I was going to say - we spent a bit, but not massive for PL standards. Wages wise we were second lowest after Burnley last season I think..
Shame the big money ones haven't worked well, although Mings is getting there now. And King for £1 million is a bit of a bargain.
Ohh I hope so.
Fastest growing though surely - well in as much as sometimes there's more of our shirts around town than anyone else's. Which is a miracle in itself.
