Squad strength and cost

[Impeccable]

Figures (£m) are taken from official sources where possible and exclude RSC, Bridge and Kolo who will never play for us again.

RSC and Bridge, granted. Could swear Kolo played only 3 days ago!!!!

In fact... http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2013/February/Kolo-Toure-desire-to-win-FA-Cup

 

[StMark's]

OK maybe Kolo will feature for us a few more times when Vinnie is unavailable but he has confirmed himself that his contract won't be renewed in May. The point still stands that there isn't a huge percentage difference in the cost of the two squads, especially when adjusting for transfer inflation.
