Is there any way I can mute all posts with the word Haaland until summer 2022? Wish I had done the same with Sancho last summer

The only reported figure is total wage bill in the annual accounts.

Liverpools was £310m in 18/19, Spurs £179m.

I would like to know the logic these journos use when reporting these figures. If Liverpool paid out £310M in wages across the 2018/19 season, would that mean that if Liverpool had 30 footballers on their books, each player had an annual salary of £10.3M or £193k a week?

I am not saying it’s not true because I don’t know what else goes into a wage bill but it does seem a bit far fetched.

Its total wage bill. CEO, players, coaches, admin staff, tea lady etc.

All reported in the annual accounts.

Actual player salaries isnt reported anywhere, just speculation.

I would say that if Spurs total wage bill was around £180m they're probably not spending £130m of it on the playing squad.

They can have Nketiah.

Pretty obvious that Messi was playing to get rid of Bartomeu all along. Would be a surprise if members voted for a Bartomeu candidate to replace him, he's pretty much a crook.

Got arrested

Sancho was gone if utd paid near the asking price.

Haaland has a clause and his agent wants the money

How every Premier League club’s wage bill compares to their league position - Planet Football

Liverpool 6th on the wage bill ladder buddy

2-6 are about the same.

It's probably outdated.

It's a guess.

Imagine buying the world's most expensive gk and defender then crying about no money

Weakening the squad by selling players to buy players.

You didnt really weaken the squad seeing as Coutinho didnt want to play for you and was faking an injury so he didnt have to.

He was our best midfielder before he went on strike. He still played 20 games up until the Jan window when he left.

*If they paid the actual asking price

*A clause for 2022

There is a clause this season too. No?

At a higher price.

Or has that since changed?

But you didnt sell him to buy. You sold him because he didnt want to pay for you.

Having sold him you used the funds at your disposal (regardless of the source of the funds) to buy big.

And it worked out very well for you.

Was more thinking Duncan Castles is useless.

There has never been a clause for 2021

The report is that the fee for 2022 is higher than first thought - in the €100m+ direction

Zidane has a part to play with Pogba going there but it is just Real Madrids stature as a club i would assume why he wants to go.

Andy Mitten] “I think Pogba will stay, and have been told that he is open to discussing a new contract

It's never happening. We dont buy from the top shelf. Thiago would be the only world class player we have ever bought and there was mitigating circumstances into getting him over the line.

We always buy on the about to be world class rung. The sneaky buys where we bet on players becoming world class. Long list there... Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez, Sterling, Alisson, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino etc etc

Guys like Mbappe, Haaland just are never going to happen IMO.

Sterling was about to be world class as a 17 year old academy player at QPR?
