Gross meaning what we would spend this summer. Player sales would recoup somw of that. Not be added on. If he said net, then the player sales would be added on.
Yep I’m a dope.
And I work in banking.

£70M is absolutely insane for an unproven teenager.
Sad times.
Thanks Herc for the ITK...I'm very excited about our German prospects. There's quality in those leagues, at reasonable prices.
I like the way you think. Can I get a loan?Yep I’m a dope.

So last season it was Davinson who was considered the better prospect, but now it’s de Ligt?De Ligt is considered the better prospect between he and Davinson Sanchez.
There is a reason Man City are in for him - when they could have any defender in the world.
We spent about 115million in transfers over the course of last season.gross = total spend, not related to player sales.
Herc is saying we will spend a total of £170M +/- this summer, which would be the most we have ever spent in a transfer window by a considerable margin
It's whoever we're about to spend a bunch of money on!So last season it was Davinson who was considered the better prospect, but now it’s de Ligt?

Yes - and I think by any definition, spending £170M this summer would be considerably more...almost 50% moreWe spent about 115million in transfers over the course of last season.
Wonder how much Alderweireld, Wanyama, Dembele, Aurier, Sissoko, Janssen, Llorente and NKoudou will add up to, 150m maybe. 20m Net spend sounds about what historically we'd expect max.
I'm completely in agreement with you just wanted to throw it out there in case people weren't aware that we did make a considerable jump from the 16-17 season where we just about doubled our overall spend.Yes - and I think by any definition, spending £170M this summer would be considerably more...almost 50% more

I've been very excited by most of what Herc has said this spring but this latest bit has me confused.
Based on the names Herc mentioned as potential sales and some conservative estimates of what they would bring in (Toby - $40 mil, Dembele - $25 mil, Janssen - $10 mil, Llorente - $10 mil, N'Koudou - $10 mil, Serge - $20 mil, Sissoko - $15 mil, Wanyama - $20 mil for a total of $150 mil in sales)
If Spurs GROSS spend around $170 million, but get the totals listed above which I think is reasonable, then a net spend of $20 mil or so going into the new stadium is not exactly something to get excited about.
Not putting down Herc or his info, but that word "gross" spend really changes my outlook going forward. And as someone said, if $70 mil goes to DeLigt and $60 mill or so goes to Martial, there is no way they are getting the quality they need to go for the title and cover the needed areas of depth for $40 mill.
Kind of hope I am interpreting this ITK wrong.
Edit: Unless major increases in wages in not factored in as well. No idea how to calculate the cost of the overall increase in wages but let's say $10 or $15 mill more, then maybe it's a little better picture but still not a major "statement" going into stadium.
Hercules literally said 170m gross, there's nothing to clear up.Hope somebody clears it up because everyone seems confused about the spending now.
Last week it was supposed to be a net spend of 150 million, plus receipt from sales being plowed back to be spent; leading to some guestimate of total spend to be in the region 220-250 million.
But he also said 150M on top of sale funds last week, didn’t he?Hercules literally said 170m gross, there's nothing to clear up.
