    Just thinking when was the last time we actually paid some money to acquire so many players pre season? Seems most are coming with an undisclosed fee so far!

    Probably under Rahic in 2017/18. Think we spent over 500k on Reeves, Poleon and Mccarten.

    We’ve paid money for players since then I’m sure of it, eg Will Swan.

    When was the last time we had 1.5million to spend pre season from outgoing player sales?

    We've paid to release players from contracts.

    Actually posting a proper transfer fee is a while different business

    I don’t think the OP was asking when we last paid a transfer fee for a player, but rather when we last paid transfer fees for multiple players within the same transfer window:

    I couldn't have put it better.

    So far it would seem we are using the money much more wisely as well?

    I genuinely don't think we've laid out as much as we have this window since Summer 2000.
