spending money

And what happened a couple of seasons ago when we have a bigger squad but was flooded with injuries.

Yeah but then we saw the Wigan and Tottenham games!

Not just those games, but the lack of depth upfront we have now. Letting SWP go and Sheva go without replacements.

Effectively we have Di Santo and Sinclair as replacements. Which in itself is a good thing, but factor into that Malouda's apparent lack of effort and Drogba's injuries it does leave us light.

What was the losses we recorded last season...? 80 million pounds is it?

80 million minus 32 million(money aved off robinho's transfer). Wow...plus we have offloaded highly paid players like SWP and Sheva. Thats great.

And SWP and Sheva's fees would have put a significant dent into that 80million too.

Cutting our wage bill down is certainly a massive help for us going forward. We cleared out a lot of players this summer which means we are making a profit on transfers this summer and also cutting back on wages. If we can seriously start using our academy and producing the talent then we will be in a very healthy situation.

Exactly, Hoping to see us break even by 1 yr later than expected as opposed to 2-3 years as predicted before..
