The last three W
est Ham managers have spent over £308m gross on players between them since 2015 with Pellegrini already matching Bilic’s spend.
David Moyes spent next to nothing with Hugill his only permanent investment in the January transfer window of 2018.

Are you planning a gross out going?
A set of figures can be made to look great if they are painted in a certain way…
I don’t see any painting – merely a report with no comment. Blimey
What the list also shows is what a shambolic transfer policy the club have had & the majority of that money has been wasted. A shotgun approach never works imho.
In my reckoning 12 of the above have had no right to wear the claret and blue & that only three of them are still at the club. As a whole we are no further forward than we were with SA..
What’s the net spend anyone?
Take a look at the site – story up showing where we are in all time list
Such a lazy reply as always!
Oh, another club leak. Look how much money we have spent. Of course this means we can’t spend anything more in January.
Problem is, 99% of these transfers have been awful with no intention of getting a better side.
Next…
It’s not a leak. It’s all on the record and as proper journalists we do the necessary research
The net spend is shocking about 13.8 million a season. There is a massive gold in what the top teams have spent . In real terms it’s underinvestment year on year . We are a bit tight , the owners need to invest properly & give MP the tools to do the job. We have 1 real striker how stupid is that . The goalkeepers , seems like a big mistake , what can I say .
Could u detail how you arrive at that figure Mark and I’ll publish it as a blog if you wish
Hi Hugh it’s in the article from The Price of football .
