    Can't speak for how other clubs will handle it, but I think more often than not we will keep renewals of over-30s to a minimum and replacements for aging players that we sell (or allow to leave on a free at the end of a contract) will come in on lower fees than those of the players that depart.

    Look for example at the combined wages of our former attacking unit of Salah, Mane and Firmino. At one stage they were all simultaneously on £180k per week or so, whereas Jota, Diaz and Núñez each come in on lower wage packets than the attacking unit they're (theoretically) meant to replace.

    I would think that Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Gravenberch will be earning less (total) than what Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago were earning (total) in their latter years.

    An oversimplification, granted - but you get the idea.

Should the PL look at bringing in salary caps or total salaries as a % of income?? How soon before we are paying someone £20M a yr??
    We pay Salah over 20 mill a year.

    Virgil on 300 kpw for another 2 maybe 3 years aint the worst bit of business. Signing on fee included in wages/amortisation I guess.

    err we can not like we've spent much on transfers, I.E replacements for the future.

    Shoulfd we let them all go for free?

    Salah is a huge name around the world, club makes some money back.

    Not suggesting we let any of them walk away, just that the current top salaries for the best players at big clubs are unreal. Has this been fuelled by city and utd overpaying their top players? Utd in particular as they was little to no return on sanchez, pogba,ronaldo,cavani. How much eg will TAA be looking in a new deal? £15M ? If he is and gets it macallister will want that at next renewal date. Its hard for clubs to take a stand with the elite players as the players know they'll prob get the amount they want at RM,PSG or Saudi. We are not that oil money club and its clear FSG want to soak up anything LFC make, not put anything of their own unless its a loan.

    Clearly the Coutinho dosh (which benefitted us hugely) was fuelled by the ridiculous fee for Neymar - so in a perverse way ..we can thank Barca and indirectly PSG for that one..?

    Real aren't an oil money club though either, nor are United - well not directly.. I say that because IF we are honest (and most of us are either not or blissfully ignorant) ALL US owned clubs are indirectly "oil money club"s The control of oil and the politik of the of the gulf itself is absolutely key to what grants the US global dominance AND greases the very economy that these tax dodging, policy influencing, oligarch US billionaires are manipulating - despite the fact that no western media would dare call them as such. 11 out of 20 Premier league clubs now part or completely US owned...? Per que?

    The wages problem is fuelled by TV revenues spiralling. And we should all know what and who is driving that...

    Real Madrid are a bunch of state funded cheats. This gets ignored by the media, and because of that the general football fan is unaware that Real Madrid are the o.g. state funded club that are financially assisted by the Spanish state and Spanish banks.

    Kings of Europe my backside.

    That's simply not true. Real are owned by their members. Things were different in Francos day and even then it wasn't as cut and dry as the "state funded" claim.

    It's time for some our fans to be real about Real and stop this small time jealousy.

    That 561m euro was just resting in Real Madrid Estadio's account.

    The above is some big grown up thinking. It's certainly gone right over my head. We are left to wonder IF it was a solo effort?


    In my tiny brain..

    1.They do have a better stadium than us

    2. they didn't move.

    3. What in the living fook has this got to do with whether or not they are state owned?
