Cheers mate, so the total potential saving for next year is £41.1m rather than the £42.3m as listed. That 4.5 year contract seemed to level me.
And this is obviously presuming that the wages are all as reported which they likely aren't going to be but it isn't a bad estimate to suggest that based on selling Dzeko and Jovetic then we'll probably be looking at a yearly book cost that can easily be covered by the TV deal alone with room to spare
Yeah, I suspect the wages of Sterling/De Bruyne might be a little high. We've got very few players earning above £150k, Kompany earns £120k I think. I'd expect the wages to be nearer to £120k than £150k. Sterling was on £30k at Liverpool, and realistically hadn't got too many other options than to join City, so I can't see us offering £50k more than the reported £100k offer Liverpool gave him.
