Noone is spending like City in the EPL at ther moment. Not even Chelsea in their heyday.

Nope. Like you say Spurs do not pay an absurd amount of money for salaries. United don't actually spend quite little in the scheme of things. Arsenal spent little and spend a good amount of wages but are carefully not too inflate that for any one player. Chelsea are the closest but even they didn't reach this limit. City are spending millions on players for the sake of it, even in areas they don't need (attack).
Fair enough but have the decency to admit what your doing rather than dressing it up as 'keeping up with the big guys'
