That's exactly what he said in his interview with Ballague.

How much did Rashid say we spent ?

**Guest** · 31-03-08, 10:51 AM

So that's roughly £ 80m pounds net spent. Making it an average of £ 20m per season he's been here. Pretty accurate I'd say.

If you deduct the cost of Masher, Torres and Babel it would come down a lot.

Still many claim that Rafa has spent around 150 mil Pds which is way off the mark.

Looks to be.

It's also a hell of an achievement on that budget considering how much of a revamp the squad needed to bring in an FA Cup, a Champions League (make that 2 in a couple of months) and a finalist in another CL. What a manager.

I can just see Rafa running off with his swag bag massaging the goatee.

The most disappointing on that list is still Morientes for me... When we signed him for only 6 mill, I thought we made the buy of the decade (turns out to be another spaniard though). I was very disappointed when he diden't manage to make a greater impact, class striker in real and valencia...

The list shows that raffa has done some quite good business IMO, especially taken the budgetlimitations in perspective.

Great image.

Yes, this only affirms what i already believed, We do have the Right man in charge of our Football Team.

I dread to think where we could've ended up by now with someone else at the helm.

Absolutely

I really can't see how the grass could be any greener tbh and I don't think any manager could have won the Prem with Rafa's spending limits. It's all just really ****ing green

Of the £80m that's Rafas spent about two thirds of it have been spent on 4 players

Masher £17m
Babel £11m
Alonso £11m
