Mertesackabrick ?ú6m
Santos ?ú6m
Arteta ?ú10m

Yeah that's the rest... Strangely for a 'club that does not buy players' according to their fans they spent quite a bit...

 

[yiddo2786]

?ú30m for Fabregas
?ú18m for Nasri

According to that site we spent 8 million, whilst according to the top we spent 6.3 million.

Only the people at spurs probably know the exact figures..

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Had forgotten a few of those.

Ive never bought into the "they dont spend money" angle but couldnt think of where ?ú40m had gone in the last year!

Yeah its a bit of a media myth that the scum dont spend

 

[Jordinho]

These numbers are just the transfer fees and does not include numerous other expenses in connection with transfers: bonuses, agents, sign on fees etc. 10 million in does not equal 10 million available to spend.

 

[Superhudd]

Actually quite often the agent fee is involved in the total transfer fee.

 

[Hootnow]

Surely if you're looking at transfer spend, net transfer spend is the important thing? Considering that they're the ones who've been brought up in this thread, Arsenal recouped 70 million last summer. And haven't we made a profit over the past few windows?

And transfer spend, gross or net, is dwarfed by the yearly wage bill, which is by far the most impressive statistic for us considering how low ours is compared to our five competitors.

 

[Jurgen the German]

Levy said the new stadium wouldn't affect our spending but it clearly is.

Levy said the new stadium wouldn't affect our spending but it clearly is.

Not necessarily. Our squad is at the stage where in more or less every position we have players of a very good standard minimum. Therefore the type of players we tend to be looking at is the top top class category which are a lot harder to acquire for various reasons - Not being in the CL, our wage structure (our biggest issue IMO) etc.

I think it's pretty obvious we have money to spend, we bid ?ú30m plus for Augero according to Athletico's chairman, Redknapp himself said we thought we had Mata in the bag until Chelsea came in for him......

 

[Park Lane James]

?ú30m for Fabregas
?ú18m for Nasri

Technically they're not spending much if their in-comings are that much, just replacing the qunts that have left.
