The Three Amigos

We already pay our best players 'top' money. We have one of the highest wage bills in football.

We pay a few of our players the kind of money they deserve (Salah is 'only' on £50k p/w more than Marcus Trashford) given their importance to us. One of the reasons a few of our best players haven't yet signed new contracts is almost certainly down to our owners being incredibly reluctant to pay them the money they want and deserve for the length of contract they want and deserve.

Diaz is on £90k p/w, Konate is on £71k p/w, Jones is on £67k p/w, Elliot is on £46k p/w, whilst Kelleher is only on £32k p/w. In terms of players earning £100k or more, we have twelve, Tottenham also have twelve, Man Utd sixteen, Arsenal seventeen, Man City seventeen, and Chelsea eighteen. We legitimately earn more than everybody on that list bar the two Manchester clubs, and we all know how legitimate Man City's revenue streams are.

We have had over at least the last decade, a mid table net spend. Year after year we've needed quality additions, especially in certain areas such as the DM position and another quality CB etc. The only time we've seemingly gone out and got the exact kind and quality of players we've needed was when we sold our arguably best player at the time for a lot more than he was actually worth.

We need to pay our top players top money, as well as being prepared to spend big when it comes to buying new players. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. In fact they are often intrinsically linked to each other.

Let's spend and overpay like Utd because look how well they've done with that policy.

Where do we get this lot?

And Victor has hit a brick wall. Unless it boils down to F$G OUT, he's stuck.
