Cardiff City received just over £62m in TV money this year, the lowest in the League. Last season Utd, who received the highest amount of TV money, received just under £61m.

Serious money is going to be spent this summer.

Most of the money gets earmarked for wage increases.

How much more is Arsenal paying out with seemingly at least 40k a week extra for Ramsey, new deal for Koscielny, likely about the same increase. Can't really remember who else got new deals this season. Ozil wages would have bumped up the wage spend at least 7mil, so that is at least 11mil increase across three players.

Rooney, seemingly 5mil, though they are losing a lot of players, expect most to be replaced with people on as much or more. Unlike frank who thinks every new player in automatically comes in at a fraction of the wages of players who have been at the club for ages, Neymar, Bale, Hazard, all suggest that is bull. Bale is on pretty similar to Ronaldo and Messi, Neymar got more than Messi(one of the longest serving players currently in football at the top), Hazard gets more than Lampard/Terry, etc.

Everyone is looking for new contracts and every single player in the league has an agent who looks through the figures and knows precisely what the club can afford. Each big increase in tv money causes a noticeable increase in wages across the squad, agents know how much money the team has and negotiates a new deal from a stronger position knowing what the club can afford.

Because teams don't like players on short contracts as it gives them more negotiating power to either force a move or get a better deal to prevent them walking for nothing, you're talking about a new deal every 2-3 years for most players.

I would expect, with 20mil extra, very little extra to be spent. those clubs that have a combination of 20-30mil extra tv money and a huge increase in sponsorship will likely spend more for a couple years till they to end up just spending the rest in extra wages.

Utd's sponsorship deal + tv money, the new players coming in are going to ask for silly wages and Rooney's deal being so high for frankly a not really top player is only going to hurt them. They are in as weak a position as you can be at the negotiating table, agents knowing they are a bit desperate plus having a huge influx of cash currently.

You have to feel for Southampton, they are going to get picked dry this summer.

Yep. Looking at two players, one of whom is a key player and the other a great prospect, plus their manager. If one or two other players leave as well then, regardless of who Southampton replace them with, they've been picked dry.

He's one I would like for us, does everything nice and chilled instead of panicking like a fanny.

He's on the French standby list so expect the yearly link to Arsenal to appear any second, it has every year since we signed him so it must be about to hit now there is some more fuel for the fire!

It's going to be a really tricky summer for us, I really want to believe Adam, Luke and Poch will stay but I can't see it happening. I think best case scenario Poch and Adam stay and Luke is sold this we can survive Luke is a great player but left backs rarely make the difference between a team being good or bad!

Either way we've had a great year and who knows what the future holds, lets just try and keep our nerves under control and dream of bigger things to come.

I read earlier that Luke Shaw is the fastest they have ever had over 100m at Southampton, faster than the likes of Walcott, Ox Chamberlain and Bale!

He must be ****ing lightening!

The biggest loss to Southampton would be Pochettino imo.

Nope, lol...can't say that i have. Were saying that sometimes contracts are not upheld. Shock horror! Lets bake a cake

"You don't have to be an expert to understand contracts"

"Suarez didn't wriggle out of his"


Seems you needed it spelling out to me.
 
Wind your neck in, pipe down..........who do you think you are Trusty?

You're obviously a bit dim to these points so don't get uppty becasue you don't understand something :)
 
I've no idea what were trying to get our head around though. That sometimes players are bigger than a club and forces a move to somewhere with better money/weather etc?

At the end of the day.. Chelsea have all the power at the moment, he's under contract.
 
The point that just because Chelsea don't NEED to sell Hazard has no bearing on whether they actually will once you account for how much money is bid, whether Mourinho wants him around, who else they buy, likelihood of game time, desire to play for a particular club etc.

Chelsea may not need to sell him but they quite happily could if they so desire.

Slightly similarly, Southampton have no real financial need to sell Lallana or Shaw, the club is probably better off with them than with money and both are under contract but chances are both will be long gone by the end of summer...
 
Real Madrid have put Liverpool striker Luis Suarez top of their list of summer transfer targets and will make a €70m (£56m) offer in a bid to trigger his contract release clause.
