In the last set of accounts, our wages were 108% of our income.
The Chuba money (and the Tav & Spence money) is already spent going towards covering wages for the existing squad.
Zach Steffen vs Seny Dieng
Joe Lumley vs Tom Glover
Luke Daniels vs Jamie Jones
Darnel Fisher vs Terrell Agyemang
Grant Hall vs Rav Van Den Burg
Ryan Giles vs Lukas Engel
Marc Bola vs Hayden Coulson
Aaron Ramsey vs Sammy Silvera
Chuba Akpom vs Morgan Rogers
Cameron Archer vs Emmanuel Latte Laff
Matthew Hoppe vs Alex Gilbert
Alex Mowett vs Martin Payero.. now this is where I think we might be paying a little bit over the odds
also:
Paddy McNair is out of contract in the summer
and
Josh Coburn is rumoured to be getting loaned out.
maybe
Anfernee Dijksteel will move on..
the bulk of the squad has been trimmed down considerably wage wise and with transfer fees invested wisely.
Martin Payero - Midfielder £25k
Paddy McNair - Defender £20k
Josh Coburn - Striker: £7.5k
Anfernee Dijksteel - Right Back £6.5k
Nearly £60k a week between the four? (figures pulled from a google search)
loan fees, transfer fees etc.. bringing in four free agents or loan players on £15k a week reduces the overall bill and hopefully improves the quality of the squad.
Lewis O'Brien rumoured to be on £15k a week
Bashir Humphreys of Chelsea rumoured to be on £4.5k a week
Cameron Archer rumoured to be on £20k a week.. £25k and we're still in budget to pull in a £15k a week right back
Reggie Cannon is a free agent and would be on similar wages to Dijksteel..
