DERBY County topped the Championship’s spending table in the summer transfer window – investing a whopping £24million on new signings.
A survey of ins and outs at all 24 clubs has revealed that Wanderers were one of five clubs who did not pay a transfer fee, joining Blackburn Rovers, MK Dons, Nottingham Forest and Rotherham United.
They were also one of just nine teams to report a profit in their business, with the sales of Alex Baptiste, Sanmi Odelusi, Andy Kellett and Tim Ream totalling around £1.9million.
Hull City came out of the window with a handsome £18m profit on their dealings, while Blackburn (£10.5m), Huddersfield (£9.7m) and Brentford (£9.3m) also finished up well in the black.
Wanderers brought in 11 senior players, either permanently or on loan, and saw 13 leave the Macron Stadium.
West London clubs Fulham and QPR were the busiest in terms of the number of deals, although Sheffield Wednesday brought the most players into their squad, adding another 20 to their books in the summer window.
