And we learnt our lesson. Never again will we pay such an exuberant fee for a single player. We have more success via giving the academy lads a run and making more modest signings. The Pepe signing was us trying to be something we are not. As for PEA wages, thats the going rate or the top tier players. Martinelli and Saka will be offered a 200k a week contract at the seasons end. No one can avoid paying top wages if you want to keep your best players. As Liverpool will find out the hard way if they dont meet Salah's 400k a week demands.
63m for Haaland is a steal. But the side deals for the dad and agent are poor form. Especially the agent, fucking leeches of the game.
