Sooo... enough arguing about Cantona's ban 18 years ago please fellas. There's some really interesting stuff going down in the EPL.
How about Tottenham this season and the squad they've built using money selling one player. They've broken their signing record 3 times this summer and are looking like title contenders, even without their talisman.
Selling: -Gareth Bale for £78 to £86 million (not yet finalised)
-Parker, Huddlestone, Caulker for £20 million
Buying: -Erik Lamela as a direct replacement for Bale(upgrade some might argue) for £30 million
-Roberto Soldado for £26m
-Paulinho for £17m
-Etienne Capoue for £9
-Vlad Chiriches for $8.5
-Nacer Chadli for $7
THAT ladies and gentlemen is how to rebuild a sports franchise.
