Franchise FC South Coast Royal Inevitable really.
Likeable bloke who did well for a while and helped out by having Ward-Prowse.
This season Ward-Prowse has not reached his best form so Southampton don't perform.
Having been stuffed by Newcastle he must wonder what he might have been able to do with £200 million as must Steve Bruce.
We know that money doesn't guarantee success ( look at Man Utd and Everton) but it can go a long way towards building a reasonable team when spent well as seen with Howe at Newcastle and Potter at Brighton.
Genuine question, but how much have Newcastle spent.
It doesn’t seem to be that much, or have I just missed it all ?
They’ve spent shed loads…
January 2022Kieran Trippier from Atletico for £12,000,000
Chris Wood from Burnley for £25,000,000
Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon for £35,000,000
Dan Burn from Brighton for £13,000,000
June 2022Matt Targett from Villa for £15,000,000
Nick Pope from Burnley for £10,000,000
Sven Botman from Lille for £32,000,00
July 2022Charlie McArthur from Hibernian for an undisclosed fee
August 2022Alexander Isak from Sociedad for £63,000,000
So I make that a total of £205,000,000
