spyinthesky Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Interesting summer spending table Chelsea £72.5m Man Utd £48m Arsenal £44m Liverpool £27m Sunderland £25m Spurs £23m Wigan £16m Man City £15m SAINTS £11.5m Everton £10.5m W Ham £9.5m Villa £8.7m Norwich £8m Newcastle £7.7m QPR £6.5m Reading £5.3m Swansea £5m WBA £3.5m Stoke £3m Fulham nil Of course all this will change by the end of the week but goes to show that at the time this table was compiled, Saints were 9th in the spending league. No info on players wages Also I guess Saints would be higher up the spending table if net payments were compiled as we have not sold anyone of any substance this transfer window. Part of me is pleased that we have spent out, as it is a necessity, but the cautious part is concerned about the ramifications if the expenditure doesnt work out well.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 West Ham have spent more than £9.5m!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 So much for Sunderland reigning in their spending. And swansea look to have done some terrific business, -£10M net spend and a couple of real bargains in Chico and Michu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 West Ham have spent more than £9.5m!! I don't West Ham's included the Jarvis fee, so they go up to £20M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanh Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Perhaps Harrods isnt doing so well these days? Kind of irrelevant as Al Fayed doesn't own it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Not sure of the relevance of this table; our squad needed more done to even approach PL standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalsaint Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Not sure of the relevance of this table; our squad needed more done to even approach PL standard. I would guess the relevance is that it shows how much our club have spent in relation to others in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 WBA have had a cracking start and have settled well after building gradually during the 'yoyo' strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Balls I'm already tired of hearing bout the yoyo strategy! Scary thing is we're gonna be hearing bout it for at least the next 8 or 9 months till we either stay up or go down, which at current Dalek posting rate means about 450 mentions.

rshephard3 Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 I would guess the relevance is that it shows how much our club have spent in relation to others in the league. That would only really work for net spending, ie Wigan have pretty much evened out their figure by selling Moses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
