they spent more than we did when we both got promoted

spent 4 or 5m that summer iirc (Ward, Hall, Speroni, Torghelli)

and did almost exactly the same as us.

agreed they probably spent a bit less than us the year before. But we didn't spend that much - Hucks was the only serious money we spent, wasn't he?
