Are you plain mad? Or just blind to the facts?

76 players!!!!!!!!!! Most have been flops,especially considering he has spent 230mil!!!!!
LMAO a daily mail reader!! Class
Of that 76 players, 49 were either academy players (kids) or free transfers
Not denying he signed them, the myth that he doesn’t give youth a chance when he buys so many?
Who are the flops please name them?
Im sure I could name as many flops that any other team in the premier league has had.

the only worldclass signings amongst them are Torres and Mascherano, comined fee - 38mil
There is a pool of around 10-15 world class players (definition of world class argued 50-60 pages back, im using my own definition) currently, im glad that we have 2-3 of them to be honest

Leaves 190mil spent on crap in all reality. They couldve signed 5 world class players fo rthat amount, but no, he has Babel, Riera, Lucas and the other useless "tars" they have bought.
If he had been given 230 million off the cuff like man city currently have then yes we could have but he didn’t so he has had to buy and sell, incremental improvement.
Can you link to the article that said he was given 230 million in a transfer window to blow?
Or was he supposed to sell a load of players in 2005, not replace them, save up for a few years till he had the money and then buy them?
