How much money have actually laid out on our table topping team ?

Down here, the local media has said it’s in the region of £20m. Can anyone give me a true figure ?

Doing some rough figures I bet it's not far off the mark. Foster was the big chunk at 8. We have 3 or 4 loans in the team. The other new ones seemed to be averaging 2 million. Not sure about Muric, 4 mill was being quoted? I think 20 is some where near (I'm talking starting 11 & bench)

Hard to know, 8 players are quoted as unknown or undisclosed, and I've seen Foster quoted at £11m on Soccerbase and £12m in the Mail. Adding up what's known and making reasonable estimates of the rest, comparing them to those we do know, I reckon it's around £30 million, give or take a million or two.

When it says spent to date, to which date is it referring ? And where are the details of what has been spent and on whom, or is that figure just plucked out of thin air ?

I nicked this off Facebook sinkov, but unfortunately I lost the inbound bit.

I calculated the £21.7 million to be up to December 31st sinkov and then added another £14 million for Foster, Ekdal and Al-Dakhil and I'm as sure as can be that figure is more or less spot on.

To summarise to press:
£35.7 out.
£72.5 in.
Nett = £36.8.

Not a bad bit of business and a new table-topping team too!

I reckoned it £30 million give or take a million or two, so we're not that far apart. Has there ever been a better £30 million or so spent ?

Here is a rough rundown covering a few seasons.

I can't think the £33 million we spunked on Brady, Hendrick and Vydra compares well to VK's nett spend can you mon ami?

It's almost cruel to mention it mon ami, I suppose it seemed money well spent at the time.
