What about the season we bought Ox, Gervinho, Arteta, Merts, Santos, Jenkinson and Park? That's got to be over £200m. It can't be done that way. How do other clubs manage? How were Spurs able to spend £100m from the bail money and find the wages for those players as well? This can't be the way.
The players you have mentioned, Cazorla, Podolski and Giroud offset by the sale and wages off the books for Song and Van Persie....but even then our wage bill would have skyrocketed with 130k a week for Podolski.
Arteta, Gervinho, Santos, Mertesacker etc - Eboue, Clichy, Nasri, Fabregas
