@brucebones@HullCityStats The two most expensive weren't great. Adingra was allowed to leave on loan by January and Diarra ended up injured or at the AFCON and has come back looking promising at times but very poor more often
@brucebones@HullCityStats Need to mix it up with some bargains. We (Sunderland) spent a tonne of money last summer on around 15 players with 6 costing more than he did. Some of our best players Alderete, Reinildo, Mukiele, Xhaka and Roefs cost less than he did.
@hullcity14@HullCityStats You aren't wrong. Our main defenders signed, Alderete 9m, Mukiele 10m, Reinildo free and Geertruida loan with possibility of singing him for 17m this summer are bargains compared to what some teams spend. One or two games apart they've been incredible.
@hullcity14@HullCityStats you'll have signed more than that come the end of August I've no doubt. The money up here is ridiculous, we (Sunderland) spent nearly 200 million through the season, around 160odd in the summer and our squad is still over 100 million cheaper than everyone else's.
@IncarnatePig@HullCityStats ah bless, listen to the shite old Spurs fans. My team were finishing bottom according to everyone at this time last year. Even when we signed Xhaka the predictions didn't change and then we ended up 10 spots above you and in Europe π€£ππ€£π
@allliverpooltm@empireofthekop@Ekremkonur He should've been a regular for us, he's far better than Trai Hume but we kept trying to play him central midfield despite the fact he's a right back and right sided centre half (in a back 3/5).
