Alf, I can tell you are from Burnley. Please check your arithmetic and improve your typing skills. Its 26 for Rodrigo, 16 for Costa, 13 for Koch and 18 for Llorrente that's 73 not 83. £10m makes a difference.

wish we weren't spending so much money on this transfer window. the world's a different place right now and even the 49's are going to take a bath this year. They usually print money. No ticket revenue, the NFL ratings are horrible and TV ad revenue has dropped like a rock. The networks worldwide can keep taking baths on their sports programming. They will adjust. Nothing like it has ever occurred with the amount of money that's committed on TV revenue and the next contracts may not be anywhere near this years contract.
we would have stayed up with or without some of these signings but now we have committed so much money that we may have a hard time keeping some of existing players when thier contracts come up.

The prem is designed to bring in rich owners who will splash the cash.
