They agree to take him back for 15 million or 12 million depending on who you believe. Now in my book, that means there's a difference of either 5 million or 8 million quid. Because though we've only so far paid 10 million, and they owe us 5, then we add on the 20 which we paid, take away what they paid and take that off the five, we break even, or something like that I can never get my head round it.
If I'd have been Spurs, this is what I would have done. I'd have said look, you paid 20 million quid. We are giving you 12 back, so out of the whole transaction you need to give us 8 million quid and we're squits. Given you've already paid us 10, we'll give you back your 2 million quid change, and we'll take Keane off your hands. It would have been much simpler that way, and it would have all balanced out. As it is, somehow we're millions and million of pounds better off than we would have been if they'd used my system. Come to think of it, we should get Parry back if he brokered that deal. Fecking genius it was, like feeding 5000 people with a couple of tuna sandwiches.
All that said, there is another possibility. Perhaps in reality the people went hungry, the theory is b0ll0cks and we spunked either 5 million or 8 million quid.
It's definately a toughie trying to work it out.

13 player, with 4 (Bennayoun, Torres, Skrtel, Riera) being first 11 regulars.
The other 9 were cheap or on loan, besides Babel and Dossena (£18M in total).
So, despite only providing 4 regulars it could be argued that he hasn't wasted too much?
Not sure the stats show anything conclusive?
What do you conclude from this Owz? You haven't really said in your post.

Don't forget Lucas was 6m, so theres 24m which would have bought a top quality player.
