Interesting piece (lots of other images and breakdowns).
Basically, biggest NET spend across the top 4 leagues in Europe over the past 20 years!

Are those net transfer spends or net spends on everything?

Those earnings for 20 years are way too low for the latter imo (I guess the same is true for expenditure).

Yeah Arsenals high earnings balances it out nicely. Thing that jumps out at me on that spreadsheet is just how low Bayern Munichs earnings are!

I don't think those are earnings in the way you think they are. Bayern Munich total earnings over 20 years would be much higher.
 
SPANISH football side Getafe have launched a smartphone application to help fans hook up at matches, hoping supporters will couple and boost the club’s fanbase by making Getafe-loving babies.


The club said its “Getafinder” works like the popular app Tinder in helping users meet potential mates nearby, but it will only work near the side’s Alfonso Perez stadium in the Madrid suburbs.

“Getafe is historically one of the football clubs with the fewest fans and the most empty stands in the first division,” the club said in a statement.

“With this app you can seek out the Getafe fan you like best in complete anonymity. And if someone you like likes you too, make a match and procreate!”

Positioning software on the app makes it operative just near the stadium “so that it will only be used by supporters of the club”.

Wilson has signed a new contract



But not enough to put him on the bench against Ipswich....

I don't understand why players like Wilson aren't being loaned out to Championship clubs where they can play proper football for a season.

Wilson to me has less actual football experience to me than Adam Armstrong (Even though Armstrong's playing League 1 right now), but Armstrong's a nobody in comparison.

If you have no strikers, it makes it a bit tougher to loan the out.
 
Once he is fit again, I'm expecting Klopp to play Firmino in a more forward role where he was so effective at Hoffenheim. So that may help a bit to cover the injury to Ings
 
Big loss on current form. I think most people saw him as a backup and a number to fill the English quota but he's been absolutely fantastic and deserved a starting place in the team based on his performances. Gutted for him and the team :(
