First thing that stands out is how badly Chelsea must be being run given they are the top spender.

Brighton bottom, but the money spent is very wisely spent. Their 2nd half vs Arsenal was just wow!

That table screams for clubs to take a more data-based approach to player acquisition (but not a purely data based approach). Happily, I think our squad is worth much more than it cost to assemble. Which is a relatively new development.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

I think it's also the case that they have the second or third lowest wage bill in the PL yet they are hugely over performing. Clearly we must learn from them (he said through gritted teeth). We have recruited well but it's their ability to keep identifying young talent with potential, develop it and then replace the matured potential that they then sell on that's putting them ahead of the game. What should our first steps be in remodelling our club to get the most from our potential?

Which is a relatively new development. Indeed, invest in data and a robust scouting network. Be brave and buy players young, with a plan for their development.

I think the important thing for next season is to hold on to what we have. Recent performances have shown that when the players are allowed to actually play we are a very good side. If Wilf does move on for CL football we have Olise and Eze to be the skillful players. Ayew has shown that he can do it as well. In the DM roles we have CD, schulpp and Hughes. Schulpp needs to become more consistent and stop standing still every now and again. Then there is Ahamada who has not really been used, and Richards who looks really good. We will have to wait and see if any of the youngsters step up and the players that we are targeting. Lets be honest Guehi and Anderson came out of no-where and slotted straight in. With a few additions we could be a very good side next term. But how often have we said that!!!!!

It's £189.6m based on current FX rates but no sensible way to do the conversion based on each individual player's transfer. Ebs 20 I'm missing some. It looks in the right ballpark
