I agree that we are big players in the market, but I wouldn’t go quite as far as to say we can afford every player in the world. We are managing a top squad, and as soon as we give one player a ridiculous sum, several other world class player will legitimately see that as some sort of new benchmark for them, and next thing you know, the wage bill will sink us.
We pay well, but I like the sense that you have to earn it here.
We pay well, but I also like the sense that the team is the star, and we won’t jeopardize the harmony of the group, or our overall finances, even for someone as shiny as Mbappe.
Like everyone else I’m interested to see what we do this summer in the market. Tchouameni would be ideal, but it looks like he will be off to Real Madrid now. You would have to think another midfielder will be brought in, if not him.
Beyond that, we are waiting to see what happens with, especially, Salah and Mane and their new deals. (I have a sneaky feeling Firmino might even be allowed to run his down).
