Up

Here's where the money went on players - the amount each club spent on transfer fees during the close season at the end of the 2005/6 season, and in the winter transfer window.  Promoted teams are not included as their circumstances are obviously very different.

bullet Chelsea £56m
bullet Liverpool £29.5m
bullet Tottenham £27.5m - for what benefit?
bullet Manchester Utd £18.6m
bullet Wigan £17m - stayed up on the last day
bullet Newcastle £17m - hard to imagine really
bullet Everton £14m
bullet Bolton Wanderers £12m
bullet Charlton £11.7m - relegated
bullet Arsenal £11m
bullet Middlesborough £10m
bullet West Ham £9m - not included the two South Americans, for whom WHU were fined over £5m because of illegal transfer dealings.   Avoided relegation on the last day
bullet Blackburn £8.2m
bullet Aston Villa £7m
bullet Fulham £6m
bullet Portsmouth £5.7m
bullet Manchester City £5m
