I was talking with a colleague at work about our spending this summer. He was trying to tell me that despite not actually doing a lot net spending this year after we sell Bale we're going to be much worse off financially because our wage bill is going to go through the roof due to all the new players. I was trying to look around for wages for our players, and it's very hard to find that kind of information. There's a lot of estimates but nothing concrete.
Players out: Bentley, Gallas, Bostock, Caulker, Dempsey, Huddlestone, Parker, Bale.
Players in: Paulinho, Chadli, Soldado, Capoue, Eriksen, Lamela, Chiriches.
Ade and Benny are possibilities to leave still, with the former being on a hell of a lot I'm sure.
Any ideas what kind of wages these guys are/have been on and whether we've actually spent much more?
It'd be amazing to see us not only break even in transfer fees but also wages too. If that ends up being true it actually makes it even more incredible when you consider the comparison of players that have come in to those that have gone out!
