The "obfuscator" is as usual grasping at a straw; i.e. the word ONLY, to try and score brownie points against you; pathetic really to be constantly seeking validation ! I don't know when but I think you had written the "only" way to increase squad value is to have a positive net spend... obviously you gave him too much credit for knowing the obvious...which is, market value fluctuations is a given.... but our learned friend took that and has been trying to milk it for as much mileage as he can... even after you asked to the effect:"depreciation/appreciation aside...how does squad value increase". What he fails to understand is that clubs will compare themselves to other clubs at a moment in time (end of the season say) and therefore , AT THAT TIME, the only way to increase squad value is to buy it. So while LFC's squad value might increase through market value, is it catching up the opposition?..and more importantly, is it allowing you to compete for the title year over year? I did point this out earlier...if Leicester can successfully challenge again this year and next season, and if other clubs that had genuine negative net spends (with squad values significantly below ManCity et al) can also challenge over the next few years, then this could be the new norm. But if they don't, LCFC for example, will just be an "anamoly" (sic) LOL... But you know how it is when a starving dog fin' a bone... ayyyy sah!
On a sidebar, it is good for the league that the "big" teams cannot take anything for granted in any match... but, is Watford going to challenge for the title? What was their continental manager doing when they played Chelsea and Arsenal?? him did fall asleep then?.. oh I forgot, those matches were "anamolies" (sic) But maybe they wanna be this years LCFC, or maybe Burnley does, or is it Swansea? dem supposed to bus Man City bubble neXt! Let's see.
