Fourteen out, a record broken twice in four days — Spurs' teardown, cataloged.
THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
THE CLEAR-OUT
Tottenham did not tweak the squad, they emptied it. Captain Romero left for Atlético, keeper Vicario was loaned to Juventus, and Vuskovic, Spence, Danso and Dragusin took a whole defence out the door. Fourteen departures in all.
THE SPINE
Tonali arrived from Newcastle for a £100m club record, alongside Savio from City, Fernandes from West Ham and van Hecke from Brighton. Of £330m spent, £322m went on that spine.
THE CHEAP AISLE
Tosin cost £10m; Robertson, Senesi and Dubravka came free; Mudryk (from Chelsea) and Marmoush (from City) arrived on loan.
THE XI
Put only the new signings on a pitch and they are almost a team: a free keeper, a back three, a record midfielder and a borrowed front line. One hole: nobody bought a right-back. Part 1 of THE REBUILD; fees are package figures at window close and may be revised.
