Net spend is £74m, I’d say that’s pretty bloody impressive actually.
I hate the net spend argument with liverpool, it always ignores the fact they got some ridiculously over inflated fees, like the Coutinho one for a start, he was never in the range of a £150m player, they even got in the region of 20m a pop on players like ibe and Solanke, 30m for Benteke. 12m for Danny Ward (I'll wait whilst you google who the hell he is). If you look through the sales under klopp for some reason they were getting stupid money for some absolute trash. They have multiple youth players leaving for around 7-8m that you have never heard of before or after. They have one of the most skewed net spends going.
Over the last 10 years they make the top 10 in world football for player expenditure, spending just shy of 1 billion on players.
