As always, numbers tell what the guy that is manipulating them want to say. Tomkins is no different.
The difference with Tomkins and a London journo fúckwit, is that Tomkins is a Liverpool fan, and the London journo isn't and is always looking for problems in Liverpool. Today it may be rotation, tomorrow the spending from a specific view.
The truth will be somewhere in the middle. Probably Liverpool do not have the spending power of Man U or Chelsea, and probably Rafa has made some mistakes along some very spot on signings.
Normally Tomkins' articles are dismissed as ridiculous and shít, but they don't seem to me his numbers more biased than the ones coming from the negative side. It would be nice to see Tomkins' numbers debated, that is, say that he talks bóllocks if you have to, but explain why.
