Why would Douglas Luiz join a mid table PL Club who have not shown intent in this summer window ? Because he thinks we are definitely ‘going places ‘? As much as Silva might impress a potential player , our wage structure and apparent ambition are not up to what a higher level player would expect . For me only those seeking to rebuild their careers perhaps from injury or lack of gametime would consider us (NT) -- Mickey, Thursday, July 17, 08:01:55am (host86-128-187-170.range86-128.btcentralplus.com/86.128.187.170)

What would you like to see from our wage structure? (NT) -- Henry1879, Thursday, July 17, 08:47:47am (customer.mdrdesp1.pop.starlinkisp.net/188.92.249.215)

Obviously 86% when new rules are set to come in at 85% isn't enough for Mickey (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, July 17, 09:42:04am (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)

Are you aware that the club are planning to gradually reduce the wage spend at the club? (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Thursday, July 17, 09:08:44am (92.40.169.54.threembb.co.uk/92.40.169.54)

One would hope so but without reducing quality? And not offering a £100k a week to Nelson. (NT) -- CB, Thursday, July 17, 09:19:43am (host86-156-7-31.range86-156.btcentralplus.com/86.156.7.31)
- In the book 'Soccernomics' by Simon Kuper & Stefan Szymanski, they quote a stat taken from premier league Football whereby wage spend, not transfer spend predicts finishing position in the league. Even if we were able to get the best young players on lower wages, wouldn't this lead to a lower finish in the league? (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Thursday, July 17, 10:57:55am (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
  - Surely the two go hand in hand. I assume we have a larger wage bill than some finishing above? (NT) -- CB, Friday, July 18, 01:15:06pm (213-18-176-223.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.223)
I don’t see how we can keep going with our transfer policy if we want to manage our wage bill and keep finding at least one player to sell each summer to keep reinvesting. The likes of Iwobi, Anderson, Berge, Leno etc whilst solid and good players are probably all on £70k+ a week, we really do need to start looking for more Muniz types, not only for cheaper fees but because they’ll be on a long contract for probs less than half that, so the risk is reduced if they don’t work out. (NT) -- Henry1879, Thursday, July 17, 09:45:27am (customer.mdrdesp1.pop.starlinkisp.net/188.92.249.215)
- Agreed on all, and you then add in the sell on factor. We got lucky with Mitro and Palhinha that there were suitors for ageing players. That won't keep happening. Can anyone see us getting £25m+ for Anderson, Iwobi, Berge etc if we sell them at age 28 or older? (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, July 17, 09:51:55am (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)
  - 100% agree, can’t rely on the Saudis, they seem to be a bit scatter gun with who they want and are after certain names and players who create marketing opportunities and larger bigger clubs won’t pay big money for 28+ players, palhina really was an anomaly and look how that’s worked for Bayern. I hope our last few seasons were to ensure prem stability and now we can evolve our transfer strategy.

  - We would have to compete with the likes of Brighton, Chelsea to atract these younger players, and we would need a head coach who had the confidence and know how to work with developing young players. Maybe they are planning for life beyond Marco. I would certainly be happier if FFC and rival clubs lived more within their means.

    - If you discount the rise through the leagues and the very first season in the premier league, we were remarkably adept at this under Fayed, to be fair. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, July 17, 12:47:49pm (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)
