where has 60 million been spent? On players. You can deduct player sales if it makes you feel better, but it won't change how much has been 'spent' Fabio Borini 11.0 Joe Allen 15.0 Oussama Assaidi 2.3 Samed Yesil 1.0 Daniel Sturridge 12.0 Philippe Coutinho 8.5 49.8 million based upon reported figures. Am I missing someone?

CarheeX that is a stupid argument, get your coat!
You would think they could adjust to changes but it don't work that way now does it. The squad is not just about a first 11 either.
England on paper should win stuff but they don't. Is it cos they are not "international athletes who have played a variety of formations/systems for their whole life"?
Driving is something that becomes natural, almost sub-conscious. If you suddenly need to change the way you do it, you have to second guess yourself and this causes hesitation and delayed reactions. Over time and through consistency the style becomes second nature and natural. This is why some players struggle to adjust to new teams or leagues, or systems, or training methods, or, or , or
On another note, where has 60 million been spent? In my calculation its about 48 not including sales or wage reductions. Does this mean that BR will never be able to coach/manage an international side (country) because it will take at least a decade for the players to get used to his system? A decade because of the low number of matches a country formation plays yearly. BR is really unique then, even if he said it himself that he will need 10 games for his players to adapt to his system. But you think he needs a season of above 40 games.

No - you're just splitting hairs. Ooh, how about the £4-£5m Sahin deal?

that only cost us 2.5 in the end. Theres a sizeable enough difference in the figures to be fair. CarheeX that is a stupid argument, get your coat!

But you think he needs a season of above 40 games. he doesn't need a full season or anything like it. Compare at the end of the season the 1st half versus the 2nd half and you will see where there has already been an improvement

What if we had a brilliant 1st half of the season followed by a poor 2nd half but still finished off better than last year? Would that be progress under your criteria or not?

Did we really pay 4-5 million to loan a player for a year and then also pay wages on top?
Or was that the press trying to justify Arsenal not getting him, and really it was just his wage cost?

Would that be progress under your criteria or not? as in if we won every game in the 1st half and lost every game in the 2nd? it would be the same as kennys end where it collapsed. We would be showing no signs going forward and he'd probably get the bullet
