I see your point..however it's elite players & if you want to win trophies the market dictates, otherwise be sure this team will break up over next few seasons..to me it's an omen for what will happen with Eriksen & Kane, Dele over next few seasons & we will get into a cycle of rebuild every summer..that's my concern.. I do think the likes of Rose could be replaced at same wage or less Aaron Martin espanyol & PhilIpp Max augsburg spring to mind & they would improve us but that's just my personal opinion..That's the point though isn't it, Liverpool are paying him that because they can afford to, we can't. Man Utd are paying Lingard £100k a week which means that Alli should theoretically be on at least £150k but again it doesn't work like that. Why should we be penalised and held to ransom just because other teams overpay their players?
Not sure how easy it would be to replace players at the same wage like you are suggesting either.
I do get your point though
