They 'spent' over £100m no matter how you want to disguise the fact. If I sold my TV for £100 and bought a new one for £600, I still spent £600!! In fact, I spent £600 PLUS the loss made on my previous purchase as I still only have 1 TV, but how far back do you want to go to try and paper over the mistakes in order to some way try and justify p!ss poor business decisions?
Let's not try and hide the humungous management errors - let's just accept that we fvcked up big time and that it needs to be put right.

Even now, I say we still need another £100mill (spent wisely) to improve the team enough to take us forward, forward meaning qualifying for the champions league every year and challenging at the top.
Either that, or players already at the club now improve significantly, and we sign the realistic players mentioned.
I gave those players because they are realistic, I think they're likely to happen. Regardless of what we want or think.
Out of arguably all of those players mentioned, Defoe, Moses, Zaha, Christian Rodriguez, Muniain, Lugano and Godin. With a push, I'd take one, maybe two.
Muniain is a gamble, a good player yes, but he is shining in a team where everyone plays for one another. Would he want to leave Basque? Atletico Bilbao players are different beasts, They are loyal to the club. They don't sign many players, they promote and coach from within.
Zaha would also be the other, even that is a risk. Arguably bigger. He'd come under the same pressure as the other players we've bought under the strategy to buy young British, as a result, he would be hit with the same stick.
Christian Rodriguez is likely to happen, simply because he is a left winger, Uruguayan and friends with Luis Suarez. It'll be one of those "for the sake of it" Muniain is going to be incredible. He is the real deal. If we sign him and only one other player, I'd still be happy. And please, no Zaha, Moses, or Defoe for me. We already tried the "buy English" thing and it more or less failed miserably.

Im thinking about strengthening the squad, if you want players to strengthen the first team, then we might as well go for adam johnson, defoe and de jong.
