Based on net spend, even beating Liverpool. Had we signed Janssen, we would have been the 6th! Incredible really.

Interesting article from the Newcastle Magazine (i don't think they are that happy) ....

Makes it all the more frustrating that it wasn't spent in the area that we needed players the most.

And we were happy to throw another 20 million at a striker..... which would have put as ahead of Bayern Munich...... staggering

Lovely measure of where NSC is at for this thread to only have had a couple of sensible responses so far...

The pessimistic bedwetting, handwringing, overly-entitled whinging on all the other threads is obviously far more fun but the truth is we have invested in improving our already decent squad to a literally incredible extent.

As per Easy 10's post just read the list again...

PSG, AC Milan, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Marseille, Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool, ....

Yup. Mindboggling.

Appreciate that as a promoted club we've had to spend to get a foothold in this division, whilst at the same time retaining our key players of value. But just seeing our name in there amongst those gilded clubs is a real double-take moment. I know we keep saying it, but bloody hell we've come a long way.

Except Bayern were merely 'topping up to an already very good squad.

Staggering nonetheless, especially for those of us doing the 'Buy a Player' walk along Hove to Brighton seafront when we didn't have a lot to piss in.
