Ndombele was on more than Szoboszlai you numpty! - His fee was north of what we would likely have paid but their total transfer over the course of their contracts is maybe slightly higher, though we shell'd that out years before.

Gravenbrach very similar in fee and wages to Maddison.

Alisson was on less wages than Hugo when he signed.

So try again.

Total transfer value of Alisson?

You fucking said Sbozslai you muppet, I was taking your word for it

Alisson Becker was 70m a GK in 2018 plus wages. We might sign our first 70m player in 2025

Gravenberch was a back up when they signed him and arrived for a similar deal as Maddison who came as a star

Then Wirtz, you think Levynomics is signing a player for 100+m and 200+kpw???

If you seriously there’s no financial difference in the Levy model and what Liverpool do then you are a lost case and this is the same waste of time it’s always been

The whole wages thing is a bit of a circular argument because if you win things and have star players then you give them huge contracts to renew. If you haven’t won things (much) like Spurs then that situation never arises. I think Spurs would have paid Kane similar wages to Salah, but we’ll never know.

Also, there’s a really high miss rate with very highly paid players who move clubs. Most are busts. Ndombele is our main example, but there are loads (Google Chelsea players on 200,000 a week and ask yourself which of them you’d take on a free if they offered to half their wages. Then do the same with Man United). Think it’s natural that we should be really cautious with these kinds of transfers.

Romero will be a huge test to this because (despite the sloppiness) he’s a winner and the kind of player who we probably should overpay. He probably feels he’d be culturally more at home in Madrid but if we offered 300,000 a week would he stay? Would Spurs pay that much?

Regardless, wages correlate with league position
