It's complicated accounting for sure but in terms of the general fan debate, we'd get more out of debating the total, initial financial commitment to the player when they were signed??

It's still hard to guage..... EG Kane.... He's quoted as being on 210kpw afaik..... Truth be known he's assumed to be on more like 300k with goal bonuses and other such jazz.

Up until recently all our player contracts were highly incentivised.... Other clubs have their own approach.

Those valuations aren't crazy to be fair

£50 million for Maddison, with one year left, is pretty fucking punchy. He’s really not that good. Plus they’ve been relegated, so everyone knows they’re in no position to bargain.

He will go for around 40 towards the end of the window.

It's including players signed already, no? from January.

But if we are saying the ambition of Rice signing for the goons vs our transfer plans is what is firing people up, surely its a safe assumption that should both teams execute their transfer window plans, their wages will gom past ours by even more?

I was replying to the comments about wages and transfer fee spend and how that supposedly signifies ambition. According to those metrics Spurs are equally as, if not more, ambitious as Woolwich. But that really misses the important point, which is how well the money is spent. Yet, in spite of that, most of the anti-ENIC crowd are using spend to make their point and they'll lose that argument most days.

According to them, if we go for the 10-15m gem, rather than the 100m player, we're unambitious. But that's not where the problem is. The problem is that we are so lousy at identifying the 10-15m gems and equally as bad when we spend 50-60m. Now had that been their main argument, no one would disagree. But they're stuck in this "Levy cheap" loop. So the responses will be in kind.
