ALL we spent this window - £6.25 million

[Del]

I was trying to wrack my mind over Stoke's sales.... Well aware it's net spend, but can't think of their outgoing players.

Maybe there weren't many and those fees thrown around (£10m, £8m and £4m) aren't strictly correct, but maybe hyped to appease the fans. May be worth that amount with add ons....

[MYU]

Yeah. We've spent far less that the six finger carrot munchers and sheep shaggers a have a better squad by a country mile.

Well done all at QPR...

And that's what its all about!

[SOUTHGATE_Rsss]

Then who did Stoke sell to account for the missing ten million odd?

Probably means they haven't included undisclosed figures.

They mustve because gorkks and leigertwood were undisclosed

The only players to leave Stoke were Carl Dickinson (Watford), Faye (West Ham), Gudjohnsen (AEK) and Sonko (Ipswich).

We have done good business but before getting too carried away think of how we have increased our wage bill with our transfers in comparison to the other clubs

[Dazzer1977]

stoke paid like 20-odd mil for crouch, palacios and jerome.

Fella - Its NET spending in transfer dealings. Meaning players in and out.

Leigertwood's sale might of come into last season because the deal was actually done late Jan so I was led to believe. It was a loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Just because the wages mentioned for Barton were mindblowing for us, that was because we weren;t used to anything like that, yet they are pretty common in the prem. You think Crouch / palacios / Jeans / Bellamy / etc etc aren't on high wages...?

Same for any transfers, the average wage in the prem is probably something like £40k / week.

plus the 3.5mil signing on fee Barton was given

How you know this mate?

mate who knows few people at the club told me. I dont believe everything he tells me so not totally sure i believe this fee but it does make sense

I can tell you for a FACT this is absolute Tosh... Notice that was with a capital T too!

each to their own! just passing on what i have been told. but when I first heard i questioned it a lot. does seem ridiculously high

[ElsWheRQPR]

Less than Norwich and Swasea for much better players...

[rangerforevereastcote]

06 Stoke £11.8m
07 Swansea £8.45m

And they did not bring in half the quality we did. Just gos to show how dam good Neil Warnock is a dealing in the transfer market.

for stoke they said crouch was 10 jerome was 4 and pacios was so not sure where 11.8 came in

Read back through post mate.

Its nett spending, therefore taking into account sales too, hense why Arsenal's spending is down as a negative figure (megabucks coming in from Nasri n Fabregas).
