angelman Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 With the ever rising amounts of money being spent, I thought that I would go onto http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ and see what PL clubs had spent since (and including) the 2012/13 season. I have added £32.5m for Benteke to Liverpool/Villa. I guess it's no surprise other than Spurs's transfer policy isn't as bad as one might think, and Palace have spent a **** load (which includes a season in the Championship). Newcastle supporters continued complaints about the owner, seems to have a net spend nearly 3 times ours. I know that this is only tansfer fees and doesn't take into account wages (which would change Sprus' position a bit), but I had a spare minute and thought it might be interesting. Man Utd - bought 313.79 - sold 55.83 - balance 257.96 Man City - bought 251.83 - sold 97.99 - balance 153.84 Liverpool - bought 271.54 - sold 149.36 - balance 122.18 Arsenal - bought 167.29 - sold 78.54 - balance 88.75 Chelsea - bought 271.67 - sold 196.79 - balance 74.88 West Ham - bought 81.45 - sold 12.52 - balance 68.93 Sunderland - bought 88.26 - sold 32.35 - balance 55.91 Crystal Palace - bought 55.52 - sold - 13.48 - balance 42.04 Newcastle - bought 76.6 - sold 47.59 - balance 29.01 Everton - bought 69.93 - sold 46.73 - balance 23.20 West Brom - bought 31.54 - sold 12.20 - balance 19.34 Saints - bought 137.30 - sold 126.51 - balance 10.79 Stoke - bought 31.42 - sold 20.65 - balance 10.77 Aston Villa - bought 58.96 - sold 54.07 - balance 4.89 Swansea - bought 69.56 - sold 66.63 - balance 2.93 Spurs - bought 190.4 - sold 201.77 - balance -11.37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie Crouchie Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 Interesting that if you ignore the net spend we are the 7th highest spenders after the 'top 6' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 (edited) Interesting that if you ignore the net spend we are the 7th highest spenders after the 'top 6' Not really that interesting, given the change in personnel over the last few years...? We've basically built a whole new team since last summer. Only ones in our first 11 likely this year will be. Fonte, Davis JWP Jrod Also unlikely that Davis and JWP are going to be in the first 11 that much if everyone is fit. Pochettinos first squad... 31 Boruc 02 Clyne 03 Yoshida 05 Hooiveld Booked 23 Shaw 04 Schneiderlin Booked 10 Ramirez (S Davis - 71' ) 18 Cork 21 Guly (Rodriguez - 62' ) 42 Puncheon (De Ridder - 87' ) 07 Lambert Substitutes 01 K Davis 13 Fox 22 Richardson 08 S Davis 27 Chaplow 33 De Ridder 09 Rodriguez So only 4 players in the squad are still at the club.

Chris27687 Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 What's quite interesting is the total spend last year was £835m, according to this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/11069625/Premier-League-clubs-spend-record-835m-in-summer-transfer-window-with-Manchester-United-biggest-spenders.html. So far teams have spend around £350m, i think its fair to say that spending from last year would be eclipsed in a normal year but with the added incentive of the advertising deal for next season it seems quite likely that teams are going to go mental on signing players. Seeing as not everyone can be successful its probably pretty fair to say that one of the teams in the bottom 10 who spends a ton and ends up getting duds has a reasonable chance of doing a Leeds. It's always on the cards for some of the teams but with the big sponsorship deal next year it should rev it up an extra notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie Crouchie Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 I don't think we should be comparing squads as players like Guly, hooiveld, fox, Richardson and Chaplow were never going to be here after promotion from championship. Only 3 of those players I would say would be considered starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 21 July, 2015 Author Share Posted 21 July, 2015 Not quite. Spurs are up £11m for all transfer activity since 2012/13, the only club to be like that (ie spent less than they have sold) in the PL for that period. But yes, their spending, while within a very good budget has been pretty crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 If we hadn't bought Osvaldo and his non-existent contribution to our success, we'd have gone from newly promoted to top 7 in 3 years and made a profit from transfers in doing so. That's quite some achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, that'll teach me to scan read totals - even so, the only way they've managed to do it is by flogging the world's most expensive player (and that was 90% down to us and Bale anyway).

VectisSaint Posted 21 July, 2015 Share Posted 21 July, 2015 So only 4 players in the squad are still at the club. Being pedantic, its actually 5, unless Gaston has left since I last looked. Only 3 teams have sold more than us, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
