2024/25 Summer window SLAMS SHUT (Simply Closes) and as always comes my mega thread detailing the window and comparing to the last 5 seasons with full team to team breakdowns

(Long thread) Image
First lets start with the 2025 Net spend chart

Surprisingly Brighton end the window with the highest Net Spend of the 2024/25 Summer at £155m

This window saw a lot of the big teams have "quieter" windows with Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City (-£140m 🤯) all in negative Image
The overall window still saw a £2.18bn spend. However teams did sell more this window netting out at £0.59bn Image

On a "Net Spend" scale technically Pep is right

From 2017 to 2024 (since Peps time at the club) he has a lower netspend than Arsenal

With Citys netspend over the period coming to:
- £497m (Spend of £1.37bn)

While Arsenals comes to:
- £690m (spend of £1.05bn)
Image
Since Artetas been at the club though from 2020/21 onwards it looks even better:

With City having a £87m netspend to Arsenals £465m

This is due to Citys exceptional selling over the period. Image
While a lot of people will argue that Pep inherited a superior team which is true.

But whats left of that team is literally only KDB a £55m purchase while barely benefiting from any sales of that bygone era (pre 2016/17 season)

Sterling, Iheanacho, Otamendi are the 3 standouts Image

All Premier League clubs have released their 2022/23 season financials so heres a 🧵on the finance comparison of Premier League teams on key metrics Image
Premier League clubs earned a total of £6bn combined in total revenue streams a £500m increase from the previous season in 2021/22

As usual the "Big 6" absolutely dominate the top revenue earners with these 6 clubs making up near 60% with £3.5bn of that revenue Image
Matchday revenue made up only £890m of the total revenue. Only accounting for an average of 15% of clubs revenue

The big 6 still dominate this area with them owning £600m of it. Manchester United had a 25% increase to £163m While spurs had a 20% increase to £117m Image

So Lets begin first with the 2023/24 Summer Window

Chelsea has the highest Netspend at £171m Image
with United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle and SHOCK Bournemouth all cracking over £100m for the window.

The window saw the 2nd biggest spending spree in premier league history at £2.59bn spent.

If Premier League clubs spend over £400m in the 2024 Winter Window then it will eclipse last seasons £3bn season.
