So if the fees being reported are correct Spurs have spent

net about £30m but their wage bill must have rocketed. It will be interesting to see thier financial reports later in the year.

so its not Apple to apple..

Yes their wages would have gone up, but they were preparing to offer Bale ~200k a week and have replaced him with Lamela at 75k/w. Dont forget they also let go Huddlestone, Parker and Dempsey.
So not sure if its "skyrocketing".

[Dorset Gooner]

unless they are all on £20k a week?

there were three others outgoing and 4 incoming. So a marginal hike in their Wage budget is my logical conclusion ...
