Stats show spendthrift Spurs are out-punching their weight
BY TOTTENHAMBLOG · JUNE 5, 2015
A statistic showing the net spend of every Premier League club clearly demonstrates that Tottenham are performing beyond expectations.
Recorded over the last five seasons, the following table reveals that Spurs have actually made a profit in the transfer market over this period, at an average of £4,370,000. This makes the club the lowest net spenders in the Premier League, despite finishing within the top six in each of these seasons.
There’s two ways to look at this information. On one hand it is proof of the club being run in a financially sound manner at a time when a new stadium needs to be paid for.
And we didn't have to pay a transfer fee for Kane. Mason and Bentaleb, all first team players last season - which other PL teams had 3 home grown players in their first team, and which other clubs had to pay big transfer fees for 3 first team players as they had no HG players of suitable quality.
