In the same period we brought in Vaulks, Flint, Whyte, Pack, Glaztel and Vassell. So a small overall profit on sales I think.

Last season incoming was Moore, Phillips,. Watters and NG, so not much there in the way of fees. Only outgoing fees were Etheridge and Paterson.
The cost of the players we sold that year was written down to zero in the accounts. They had originally cost £14.6m but had been fully depreciated/amortised. The figures then reconcile. We made a profit of £13.7m from selling them so the total selling fees came to £13.7m as we had a nil book value for them. In cash terms we got £2.3m of cash for them in the year and were owed £13m in cash from player transfers instalments at the year end (I am assuming the small difference was a balance of money from transfers made in the previous year).

According to the accounts , the total cost of the players you list who were acquired in the year 2019/20 was £18.5m
