Yes that's 1 to11 but it is the whole squad that matters to some

Yes, you have to add about £13m for Fonte and Kamara but in the summer we must have collected a good sum from the sale of Malone and Aluko.

I suspect we have spent less than Wolves or Villa this season.

Shows that you can get good players without spending millions though.

Kamara, Fonte and Christie is an expensive looking bench for this level surely. But looking at that XI, the value we have paid for the starters is dwarfed by their actual value now

Yes I think we already worked out that with Cardiff manager putting us with Wolves and Villa etc as the big spenders we worked out that Cardiff had a bigger net spend than we did. But don't let truth get in the way of a good story.

7.55 mill for mcDonald, Johansen and Cairney puts a whole different perspective to the cost of fonte.

We spent it all on Fonte.

And Cardiff spent it all on Madine. Who looks about as good as Matt Smith, but he likes to roll around on the floor as well.
