How this summer's transfers have actually cost us nothing

Yes. Because we aren't paying it whether or not we were committed to it. I do see what you mean but think you're being a little too pedantic about the use of the word "saved". Would you settle for something like "the outgoing players have freed up £45m of wages from the budget"?

Rawk have picked up on this thread - apparently we all think you are some sort of financial genius!
 
No link between the two. The players we've brought in won't have been on huge amounts at their previous clubs.

Wasn't there a change a few years back to switch towards lower basic wage with higher bonuses? That would also mean new players aren't on the very willy money, and would also tie in with Toure taking a cut in signing his new contract.
 
All going as planned, we'll be getting :

Hart
Caballero
Sagna
Zabaleta
Mangala
Clichy
Kolarov
Fernando
Delph
Nasri
Nolito
Navas
Bony

As first team players off the wage bill, and Yaya's taken a massive paycut.

We've added 5, and I don't see them earning too much more then the ones they're replacing so we'll be making a massive saving.

Madness. That would comprise a pretty fucking good starting 11.
