So, nearly £100m less than the team directly above and £350m less than PSG.  Puts it into perspective.

The only fair way of doing this would be to have the same cap for everybody regardless of turnover.

Better still, share turnover, like in the NFL.

The full UEFA report that the graphic quotes from is here if anyone is so inclined.

How are our wages that high?

I know the figures you can get on the internet are largely guesswork but if you look at https://www.capology.com/club/aston-villa/salaries/ it's guessing that the current squad accounts for less than half of what we paid out last season, how is the gap that big? I'm sure some sort of bonus for finishing top 4 is involved but there's got to be something else that's account for a huge portion of that spend.

Why is Everton included?

Why is Everton included?

because this is for all clubs in europe, not just those in european competitions?

[Dave]

They had the 19th highest wages in Europe, and it's a list of the top 20.

I took "in European football" on the graphic as the UEFA competitions.

The report is "The European Club Finance and Investment Landscape". You can lose yourself in statistics about gate receipts and stadium projects in North Macedonia, should you wish to do so.

If those wage figures are correct i would say there is virtually  no chance we will sign asensio or rashford  in summer without CL next season

Just looked it up 150k a week for onana add that to the 50m we paid for him

Maatsen is on 100k a week. Those two alone have added 250k on our wage bill and have they really contributed much this season?

That makes up around 4.5% of our total wage bill. Given that they’ve had less than a season, one has been trying to usurp one of our best players this season and the other has had an unusual injury record so far, I think our issues are wider than those two examples and might be too soon to judge.

I certainly don’t think us having them has anything to do with the possibility of us signing Asensio and Rashford.

Even 4.5% that adds alot and you have  to take itconsidering they are likely to be hwre next summer too.

Maatsen has been given opportunities  but hasnt taken those chances most of the time. He doesnt look good defensively. I dont think he has been that much better than moreno was tbh.

I disagree  with your point about onana has had a unusual injury record so far. He was i jury prone at everton too.

Its not just them its the fact that they have contribute  to our already inflated wage bill hence why we wont sign eithee without CL football.  If we could clear some of the deadwood - dendonker coutinho moreno to name a few that would help. I do think a player will be moved on.

For me i think it would be mcginn.  We might still be able to get 20m+ on him and he is getting on abit now. Rather have that ramsey  kamara  or youri tbh
