So we spent 40m net on players last year ?
Which players would that be then ?

This is the year 08-09 and includes amortisation. That means that any new contracts (including Rafas) are rolled up and paid annually.
I can't remember which mongs we wasted our money on that year tbh but I'm sure google will.

Amortisation is depreciation, it isn't transfer spending. It's a reduction in the estimated value of a player which is depreciated over the length of his contract.
Player A, bought for 10m on a four year deal. After year 1 he's worth 7.5m according to the books. 2.5m being the deprecation figure. That's all that is.

No it ain't.

Any accountants on here care to settle this then ?

Here's a little amortisation calculator from deloitte -

See? It's just a method of rolling up the costs year on year.
