Unfortunately we fall behind Arsenal again, but there is a second table which makes this look better overall for us. When you compare these two I think we come up top!
The below table shows the fees paid for our current squad and its current value, no surprise who is bottom!

For me I think that this shows how wisely Levy has spent, but obviously this doesn't help our finishing position in the league. One thing that is good is that taking the previous table into account we have done the performed well factoring how much money we have spent compared to how many points we achieved.
The worst thing for me is that it shows the gap in what teams are able to do to achieve the higher position in the league compared to us. It is just how the game is going I suppose. It would be very interesting to see this table to show Europe's top teams!
Any enjoy the read I know I did.
