Big Premier League Expenses

After the end of the January transfer window, we can see a new spending record in The Premier League. This time the record was for the total amount spent by all the clubs. How does it sound £1.4 Billion spent during the two transfer windows?

I would say that the amount goes to show the incredible financial power of the English clubs, but my brain still can’t realize how much money that is! Moreover, you became spectators of football’s victory over the money during the previous season, when Leicester City won the title. I think the expenses of most of the clubs were unnecessary, as Chelsea have almost won the title!

So, after all these expensive purchases, the only manager who has surely done his job accurately is Antonio Conte. The results are obvious, as Chelsea have no real competition for the title. All the others – Josep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino and Arsene Wenger can be questioned about all the spent money.

To begin with, Guardiola found it really difficult in The Premier League, as everyone expected. The Spanish manager bought Stones, Sane, Gabriel Jesus, Gundogan, Nolito and so on, spending £181.05 m. However, Jose Mourinho spent £89.25 m. on only one player (Paul Pogba). The Portuguese also bought Mkhitaryan (£35.7 m.) and Eric Bailly (£32.3 m.).

Arsene Wenger, as always, made silly transfers. The French manager bought Xhaka, giving Borussia M’gladbach £38.25 m. for the player with the most red cards in the European top leagues for the past two seasons.

Jurgen Klopp spent £5.27 m. on a goalkeeper, who can’t even catch the bus… The only quality signing – Sadio Mane went to the Africa’s Cup of Nations and Liverpool lost on 3 consecutive occasions (being eliminated of The FA Cup and The Capital One Cup).

In comparison, Leicester City spent only £42.42 during the last season, when they won the Premier League title. However, no one is interested in saving money, as even the last team in the standings will receive £100 m. from the TV rights!
