When the books come out next year, they will show we paid less in wages than the last year. Simply because we loaned out so many players, and got a portion of their wages off of the books, and sold a couple on high wages like Klaasen and Funes Mori, and got Rooney out. While Bernard is probably on the highest of those that came here, we also loaned out about 15 players, several high earners, meaning partial wages on those players adds up in a hurry. Moving on more players in the summer will drop wages dramatically even after adding in 3-4 high earners.
I think we will find it easier than you think. Some of these players havent played now for almost 2 seasons, and nows the point where they realize their career is rotting on the bench as they collect wages. I think we will easily have 100 million to spend after selling players for at least 60 million for a net spend of 40 million. Despite what Davek would have you believe, we havent had a net spend of less than 35 million but once in the past 5 seasons.
