The summer spending league table -- could this also be the final league table come May?

That certainly doesn't look good for rudderless Hull City :shock:

Swansea may have cash in the bank, however without Williams I see them as relegation fodder.

They have got lucky over the years buying strikers then selling them on for a profit, however this season they will come unstuck.

Hull will come straight down with Sunderland.

The Premier league has spent 55.24 million more improving their teams than what the Championship is worth in total. I think that gives you an idea about how big the gulf is! :?

What did Leicester spend 1 million on, a new Water boy? Seems like a strange amount of money for a top Prem side to spend? :?

Perhaps they feel that they have spent enough! :lol:

The team’s 29-year-old top scorer, Jamie Vardy, had never played league football before he reached the age of 25, when Leicester took a gamble by signing him for £1 million from Fleetwood Town in 2012. The move enabled him to give up his job as a technician making medical splints.

1m is the net spend, not total spend.
