That was with bonuses, I think it actually comes in under 200m. 188m.without bonuses

We signed 15 players across all sectors of the various teams, works out to be 12.5m per player. Obviously take away the youth players, the 11 first team squad players and it works out to be about 17m per player

And for you net spent fanboys, we were in the red for 150m that summer. When factor in bonuses it was about 170m in the red for the summer.

Liverpool still spent that on 4 players.

What's the point you're trying to make?

Ronin · 20-10-2019, 15:36

By the way, we've spent 24m on bench-rider Conti, 25m on Kalinic, 28m on brainless Kessie, 35m on cripple Caldara, 38 on Instaboi... and so on

Meanwhile Fraudiola has 500m in net spend (tell me more how that's not important) and can barely make it in CL

So chinese idiots could have bought 4 50mln players + now paqueta and piatek + bennacer, hernandez, leao, rebic... and here u go... real team. But we spent 200+ mln on suuper shit like rr, hakan, kessie, mussa etc. Our fault.

That's true but it has nothing to do with the discussion. Liverpool spent more than 500 m during the last 3 seasons (before the current one) and people are saying they did not spend a lot

Sorry net spender, should I put up a spreadsheet for you.

LIVERPOOL SPENT 200M ON 4 PLAYERS. HOW IS THAT NOT SPENDING BIG?

"big" is relative

how much did their competitors spend?

I think a lot of us (myself included) need to get away from the.mentality that you are almost guaranteed to get a world class player for 30M. That paradigm is over.

Ronin · 20-10-2019, 15:53

Feels like I'm talking to members of the Flat Earth movement

doraemon · 20-10-2019, 15:54

Free players, youth players, 25m players, 50m players, does it really matter? I think great coach is the most important thing. Freaking atalanta build their squad from scrap and look what gasperini did with them

De Bruyne when he went from Chelsea to Wolfsburg for a mere 20m. Factor in the historically great AC Milan tax and that deal could have been done for 30m.

It's about having the right talent spotters that are able to see the ideal characteristics in players with big potential for this current Milan.

Milan is currently a steeping stone club in it's current plight. WC can only be developed in house currently(over time)

Clearly management haven't been hiring within the realms of this forum. Everyone seems to be an expert on talent.

Kaka92 · 20-10-2019, 16:05

If someone give me time machine, I would still bought Hakan, Kessie, Conti, RR etc. And I bet that many of us would do the same.

Before 3-4 years, I would kill to have Hakan in team because he was insane talent in Bayer. And I was super happy when I saw that we bought him for only 25m.

In that time, most transfers looked perfectly fine. But how the hell every player turn into flop here, it's a mistery.

Only bad move was Kalinić and Biglia but Montella insist to have them.. and you sometimes have to listen coach, especially because Auba refuse us so we needed to find an alternative.
Ok and Borini either, I forgot about him.

But at least he was cheap and sometimes useful.

It'll also take 'time' to see the fruits of the talent within management.

I don't care, what xyz123 spent, but too say Liverpool haven't spent big is utter nonsense.

How many other teams paying over 140m for a keeper and 1 CB. You acting like that happens all the time.

Why would you even think that in the first place?

Then did. But they also EARN A LOT. We spent like 350mln to have a mediocre team for 6th place in mediocre serie a. Let that sink in people...

mrki · 20-10-2019, 16:51

I would never pay fir a turkish player "proven" in bundesliga and gave him no.10 of Milan. Ever.

Id buy Conti, yes. But Conti got badly injured...
Id also buy Bonucci, yes.

FWIW, I recall the board being puzzled by the Hakan purchase. People conceded that he had some talent and skill mostly centered around his free kicks (wow did he prove them wrong). Hakan, Kalinic, and Biglia = 60M lmbo
