Net Spend £28.95m. 16/17 Aston Villa spent £52.36m, received £29.07m. Net spend of £23.29m *Carson, Bree and Adomah's fee's were all listed as ? with no fee given so are not included in the above numbers. Look again at the bold bit. Comparing our net spent from last seasons spending spree to Villa's this season. Point being we don't have a leg to stand on having a pop at Villa spending money.

For me, it's the receipts that show the economic madness that's overtaken the prem. Recouping nearly 30m on players who were utterly abject last season. By that reckoning we could have got 20m apiece for clod and Eddie Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 From what i have read /seen Bree is 3m and adomah is around that figure too isn't he? So their net spend is higher. Also if hourihane signs that'll be another couple of million. Carson was extremely cheap so I think they are quite a bit higher then what we did 15/16 although I also think us slowing down this year is something Villa wont do.

Harrowram Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Didn't Derby receive £10 million for Jeff Hendrick making the net spend £18.95m. Derby also received a fee for the Spanish centre half (forget his name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Villa will make playoffs so they will spend big next season as Brucey will be reminding the Doctor that hes only had 1 window.......

Let's say £3m for each, forget Carson. Villa £32.29m, Derby £28.95m Without counting the peanuts that's £3m. Barely anything in it to be ranting and raving at Villa spending silly money. It's an establish Premier League club rebuilding after relegation. Last season we were just adding to what was a already a play off achieving squad that injuries crippled. In the Summer everyone was complaining at Newcastle going nuts on players. They have spent £54.74m this season using the same Transfermarkt source, £85.72m has come into the club through sales! Both Villa and Newcastle have worked well in the transfer market. The money is there to splash more yet they have probably signed the best you can attract to the Championship. I could understand say if the likes of Barnsley and Cardiff were complaining but not Derby fans as that was us last year, we were the big spenders and most of which loved what we did in the summer. Hindsight soon changed that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The parachute payments were meant to compensate teams for having players with long term contracts that were no longer affordable, not to allow them to go on £50 million spending spree on new players.£40 million in the first year is just far too much . if the parachute system is to be retained, it should literally be a parachute ie with strings attached.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was feeling that Villa are trying to buy promotion but then realised we did the same last season. We've gone from top dogs to below Newc, Brighton, Villa and a resurgent Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
