Martin Alvito
Player Valuation: £50m
He can't sell players that draw a large paycheck and won't take a wage cut for playing time. Alternatives such as loans exist to get them the playing time without the wage cut, and they have agents that inform them of their options.We'll be saving significant wages this summer with contracts ending;
Mina- £120k a week
Townsend- £50k a week
Davies- £30k a week
I'd imagine if Coleman gets an extra year it will be on reduced terms, maybe saving £20k?
Plus the wages we've been paying Vinagre for doing nothing and Coady is probably another £80k.
That's something like £300k a week. Plus Thelwell needs to earn his money by moving on the likes of Gomes, Gbamin, Dele, Holgate, Keane, Maupay to make room for new signings.
Figure with that lot they can be shifted for 30-50% of their wages paid by the loaning club. This makes sense if we have depth at the position and can do something constructive with the wages saved. It does not otherwise.
