Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thought it would be interesting to make a league table of clubs based on net spend this summer. Quite a few surprises... Manchester United = £52m Tottenham Hotspur = £27.2m Liverpool = £23.5m Portsmouth = £21.15m Fulham = £19m Chelsea = £14m Sunderland = £9m Middlesbrough = £9m Derby County = £7.35m Birmingham City = £6.65m Wigan Athletic = £6.45m West Ham United = £4.1m Everton = £4m Manchester City = £3m Aston Villa = £2.5m Newcastle United = £1.5m Bolton Wanderers = £1m Blackburn Rovers = -£350,000 Arsenal = -£1.5m Reading = -£2.4m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Spurs = Bale 10m + Bent 16.5m + Kaboul 8m + Boateng 5.5m = 40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Bale has cost £5m, and Boateng hasn't been confirmed has it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Spurs = Bale 10m + Bent 16.5m + Kaboul 8m + Boateng 5.5m = 40m Have they paid all that money upfront? I know they've only paid £5m for Bale so far, not sure on the others. Also have they sold anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Just Reto Ziegler to Sampdoria for £1.3m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well if you're doing it on what they've paid upfront Man United have spent about 30m. Nani 7m + Anderson 8m + Hargreaves 17m = 32m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 They signed that french kid they had on loan too. Fulham, £16m. Jeez. I wonder why they're willing to let Sanchez spunk it all on a load of his mates and championship wasters...they never gave Coleman owt... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bonkers, Coleman brought in better players for nothing than Sanchez has bought. And arent they up to their eyeballs in debt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Wonder if the signing of Konchesky means the end for Queudrue then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I forgot £7.5m Sagna for Arsenal, so there's is -£500k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 They signed that french kid they had on loan too. Fulham, £16m. Jeez. I wonder why they're willing to let Sanchez spunk it all on a load of his mates and championship wasters...they never gave Coleman owt... 4m on Steven Davis is potentially money well spent. I've got a feeling that might come back to haunt us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Is the subtext of the original post actually "Fuck! Look at how little we've spent compared to everyone else! We've got a really rich owner, so why aren't we spending loads more??"? I ask because that is the way Villa fans are talking at the moment. Although we've let a load of players go, too.

And Danny Rose says on his Bebo site that he is signing for Spurs ............. but although the club have been trying to sign him, no-one seems to know anything about it.

Mr Nut is optimistic but never hysterical. Just interesting to see it so far really. I think we can both be happy that there is more to come in terms of signings. There is always a late flurry of activity every year, it may be prudent to have some spending power towards the end of the window too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By paying bottom rung wages to the players, letting some pass by if they want too much, and charging top rung ticket prices. I did tell Brummie in a pm over 2 months ago that there was £65m available to spend. Levy will never spend all of that in one window but he does seem to be having a serious push for 4th place this time around. I think the final figure will be somewhere around £50m.
