Oh, we've been doing great since the winter we got Ĝdin on loan. But the post-Wenger period before that, when we had that fat cünt with the silly name giving deals to his agent mate so we spent a fortune on Gervinho 2.0 and that ugly, Brazza Chav's wages, was a fücking disgrace.
AW's last season was bad as well. Spent £50m on Laca and then more on Auba 5 months later. Turn down £55m for Alexis then swap him with Mhikki 5 months later. {Who we later turn down ten mil for and then give away for free.}
I've had no quibbles since Ĝdin but for a few years - end of AW, all of Dick Emery, start of MA - it really was woeful.
If only there was some sort of table that had a vague correlation to how well you'd been buying and selling players each year.
