I'm miffed we're a bit tight on player fees and salaries, but the stadium debt isn't the same as player spending.
The bank gave me 300k to buy a flat in London, the bank wouldn't give me a 300k credit card though.

Does anyone know where to find a list of 'transfer spending' + 'profits from sales' by English clubs? I heard on the radio last night that, despite buying Lukaku, Chelsea have ended up in overal profit for this window. For example, I know Woolwich spent more than anyone else, but I'd like to know how much they recouped in sales too.
It is a blessed relief that someone (Paratici, Nuno, or hopefully both...) walked into the club this summer, looked at Sissoko and said "this guy is fucking dreadful, he's never kicking a ball in a Spurs shirt again", or words to that effect.
Fuck knows why that didn't happen sooner, and serious questions have to be asked of the staff pre-Nuno/Paratici.

Football transfers, rumours, market values and news
Transfermarkt - The football website for transfers, market values, rumours and stats
Transfermarkt will have lists of all incomings and outgoings. I know that it's essentially a hobby for someone (or at least was set up as such) but seems as reliable a source as any other.
EDIT - I see BC beat me to it.
I think all their values are crowd-sourced rather than based on either stats or expert opinion, which is an interesting way to do it.

OUT: Abraham (£36m) Zouma (£31.5m) Tomori (£26.28m) and a couple players out on loan.
IN: Lukaku (£103.5m) and Saul on loan.
Tammy Abraham being worth £36m is an absolute joke. Clearly Jose doing his former club a favour.
You may not realise it but the "dicsussions" have been had over and over and over (you're not somehow profoundly 'awoken' here!)... Time and time again, the arguments such as your comments about the stadium are proven to be full of gaping holes and often ridden with barefaced lies about how the owners are stealing money.
They sold about 20 players apparently. But I also think they fabricate the prices they sell for.
Two that I would have liked in the window were Lingard and Ings.
I can see the logic of not getting Ings ... a 29 year old to sit on the bench most of the time. Not sure if we ever asked about Lingard, maybe United wouldn't sell to us, maybe we thought 28 was a bit too old and he plays in basically the same position as Son. According to the media though (for what that is worth) they would have let him go to West Ham, but West Ham pulled out of the talks.
With them we could have sat Son and Kane in the European thing and in domestic cups and still be confident of getting results.

Is there any way out of an obligation to buy?
It's a 5 year deal....
I think we finish above Everton, West Ham and Leicester. Realistically I believe in a 5th position with a bit of luck maybe 4th
I can't understand why this keeps coming around and how frequently people substitute the word "option" for "obligation"
It's multiple times a day that people chose to ignore it.
So we are not obliged to buy him?
Which is pretty much par.....
5th richest club.
4th will be above par.
4th and a cheeky cup will be sweet as fuck.
One league goal in a 2-0 win at Villa, a hat-trick against Marine in a 5-0 win and six in the Europa League that I couldn't be arsed looking up....fucking stellar...

Option, not obligation.
What I do believe is that Atalanta can't stop us making it permanent and the intention of option over obligation is to send him back if he had a serious injury.
No, we have an option.
Tottenham sign defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta
Tottenham have signed the Argentina defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta on loan with an option for a €55m deal

Get Llorente back. Put the band back together.
Bergwjin has about 3 in 18 months. Moura scores a few then goes 18 months without scoring. Scarlett may as well have not played in Portugal the other night.
No, Vinicious wasn't setting the world alight, but he allowed Kane to have a break. Not sure the other facilitate that.
