Noticed this in yesterday's Guardian

Recent transfer dealings in Millions

Chelsea 141.8
Liverpool 99

Not bad for a club with no money. What do you make of that Count?

This season changed things a bit, but we also have a much more valuable squad than before. If we sell someone next summer we should get some dosh in like Manutd have been doing they sell decent players on and get decent money, they often recoup nicely - whereas until recently we couldn't even give away our fringe players

true, we have been poor when it came to resale of players, but over the past year or so we've become a hell of a lot better at it. Even the likes of Baros, Morientes Bellers and Djibs, even Kirkland, we've managed to sell on on for a few mill. We're not a smalll club looking for a profit on these guys, but it beats letting them go for nowt.

No real surprises there - however these figures are based on what? Almost every single Arsenal transfer in or out have been 'undisclosed'. So they are de facto based on guestimates.

[MindGuerrillas]

They were discussing these figures on Magic during the game. As you said there's so many 'undisclosed' that they're basically meaningless. Also the figures they do list aren't necessarily reliable either. They said that it was still listing Torres as being £26m whereas in fact it should be more like £18m.

The only way to catch up on them!!!!!

I think the count made a mistake when spelling his username. There was clearly an O in there when there shouldn't have been one at all.
