Making money is certainly a good thing.
But a decrease in spending also signifies certain things.
Even though Lazio initially had higher expenditures than revenues, with Manchester United taking away the "White Witch" Juan Sebastian Veron for 42.6 million Euros, Lazio's net spending for this season was only 20 million Euros.
Lazio agreed to the deal with Manchester United because United was willing to sell their central defender Stam to Lazio.
In the end, Stam transferred to Lazio for 25.75 million Euros.
However, even with the net spend of the Serie A giants decreasing, it was still much higher compared to other leagues.
Take the English Premier League for example, where powerhouse Manchester United's net spend for the summer was only 42 million Euros.
That was nearly the price of one Veron.
This was the investment reached because Ferguson wished to "continentalize" Manchester United, transforming the "rough" English style of the team into one that was more technical.
