Yer, that would mean there would be loads more to sit round doing nothing but fluttering they're eye lashes at doctors whilst old people die on stretchers!

Atletico, like Porto and Benfica often only own a share of the player. The rest and often the majority is owned by a hedge fund. Not is all as it seems....

Atletico would not have been as successful if they'd have bought nurses.

It is naive to judge spending on transfer fees alone.. Wage bills are much more enlightening.

MMaaxx, afaik out of the starters at SB, the only player Atletico part own (50%) is Costa; they paid €1.5M for 50% of his transfer rights. The estimated break down is as follows:

Starters at SB:
Courtois €0 (loan)
Juanfran €4M
Godin €8M
Miranda - Free
Filipe Luis €11M
Tiago - Free
Mario Suarez €1.8M
Koke - Free
Arda Turan €12M
Costa €1.5M (50%)
Adrian - Free

Rest of the squad:
Diego Ribas €1.5M
Gabi €3M
Villa €5.1M
Cebolla Rodriguez - Free
Insua €3.5M
Raul Garcia €13M
Sosa €0m (loan)
Aranzubia - Free
Alderweireld - €7M
Manquillo - Free
Jimenez - €1M

campbell88, I mostly agree, you need to take both into account. Proportions vary from one club to another, but in Atlético's case it's roughly half of their expenditure on players. Their estimated 2013/14 wage bill for the entire squad is somewhere between €72 and €78M (depending on the source).
