Not suggesting they're up for sale lads, it just struck me how little we'd paid for a top quality 1st XI:
Friedel - £0
Benny - £3.5m
King - £0
Dawson - £3m (of £8m deal paid including Andy Reid)
Walker - £4m (of £8m deal paid including Kyle Naughton)
Bale - £7m
Parker - £5.5m
Sandro - £8m
Lennon - £1m
VDV - £8m
Adebayor - £0
I make that £40m for an entire XI....cheaper than Torres for example! Or one + 1/7 Andy Carrolls - HAHA!
Yes there have been blips along the way: Bent, Bentley etc. and also I admit I have left out Luka and Kaboul for dramatic effect!! (but could have included Livermore if I'd wanted to show off!!)
But there have been some absolute bargains coming into the squad and it's a wonder that we are up there competing with the Manchesters considering the small outlay. We are a t'riffically run football club!!!
All-in-all I'm a very happy Yi...err sorry...Spurs fan.
COYS!!!

Wasn't really knocking him Squid, just hope he doesn't do the business with the Pool like he did with us
£35m for Carroll

Chronic - thought it was £5m rising to £10m but Southampton were happy for us to settle on £2m extra as they needed the cash no?

Bale was 12m but they accepted about 7m if we paid it all up front

Paying money up front when they were struggling got rid of their sell on clause as well
