But you start paying a new player more than some current players and very quickly you have a wage bill spiralling out of control, that's why the money bag clubs can do the deals they want. FFP was meant to stop that, but like most UEFA ideas, its was pretty much a non starter.
I agree re our current players wanting and getting new deals but when players get bigger than their boots and start causing trouble, you show them the door (eg Bentaleb). We can't go into every window knowing that we need X amount of new players but refuse to sign quality on the basis that it will upset the existing players. No risk no gain.
