How is that broken down in terms of players and fees?
Fabregas, Song, Henry, Vermaelen are the main ones that come to mind but I must be missing a few out at fairly substantial fees.
Edit - I read those numbers the opposite way around. Did they really get 30 million each for Henry and Song though!?
It's Henry, Marc Overmars, Fabregas, Giovanni Von Bronckhorst, Sylvinho, Song, Alex Hleb, Emmanuel Petit, and now Vermaelen.
The club bought the site for the stadium in 2000, so Overmars and Petit are technically part of the payment.

Brilliant!
I love checking through the stats since we sold Andy Caroll as well. We sold him for £35 and signed 18 players in the following 2 seasons. The total spent was £49 mil but when you consider:
One was Cabaye who we made a £15 mil profit on and another was Debuchy who we made a £7 milion profit on we essentially made £57 million from Andy Caroll plus the 25% sell on fee which gives us another 3.75 million.
That means from the sale of Andy Caroll Newcastle made £60.75 million.
The total we've spent since then including this transfer windows brings us to £89million.
Sold were:
£3.5 for Kevin Nolan, £2 for Wayne Routledge, £6.3 for Enrique, £3 for LEON BEST!, £4.5 in total for Fraser Forster (now he's gone to Southampton with sell on fee), £7.5 for Ba, £1 for Perch = £27.8 million. There's a couple of smaller players in there for undisclosed so for my maths sake we'll round it to £29 million.
So selling 9 players and signing 26 (excluding the loan deals we did) leaves us 15 players up for a break even (3 of the 26 have now gone).

Ah that makes more sense. I was thinking of the timeline from when Emirates opened.
Is Hleb still playing? He didn't seem to be that old when he was sold.

Apparently Hleb plays in Turkey now. His career appears to have been really badly blighted by recurring knee problems.

How much have City attributed to the Emirates build? Sagna was free but I think Arsenal have still taken a fair chunk of change from them.
Good game so far though!

Was Adeboyor not a full signing too?

What they f*ck happened in the thread section here
Boro off to a good start. Kike looks like a fine signing.

Oh I see Dowds is viewing the thread...trying so very hard not to laugh right now. First win at Pittodrie for six years and to do it 3-0...glorious.

Bottom of the league after 1 game. Things can only improve!
From the comments I've seen, the expert analysis was that we were shite.
