Can some fellow Spurs fans help me work out how much we have recouped from player sales over the last 3/4 seasons and how much we've spent in this period aswell. I need a well rehearsed argument when the plastics come out and say we've tried to buy success.

I think listing the transfer fees like that is a too simple a way of looking at things. Usually the club does not receive the whole amount thats reported in the media. Deductions have to be made such as fees to agents, players, previous clubs with sell on clauses, player bonuses to be paid out of the fee, players also get a percentage of the transfer fee in some cases. Also transfers fees are not paid always upfront in full. Most of them are made in installments. You are most certainly in the black though when it comes to comparing your outgoings to your incomings.

It's not 100% accurate but thereabouts. Which means over the last 5 years we have assembled the current team as it stands (minus Bale) and made about £15m profit from players bought and sold.

Frankly, didn't we make a bit on Keane by selling him to Liverpool and buying him back for a bit less 6 months later? Not sure about Defoe, Kaboul and Chimbonda though when Harry bought them back
