Danny Rose is the best left back in the PL and some people believe that because the money clubs would pay him £150k p/w then we are deliberately undervaluing him. These people (and it seems Danny himself, sadly) conveniently ignore the fact that at his current salary he's already one of the highest paid LB's in the world.When you look at it from a European perspective our wages are bang on where they should be for the quality we have. People talk about the market rate for Rose being £160k... that's £80k more than Marcelo reportedly earns.
If we give in to the obscene English pay grade we will always be overpaying for average ability compared to the rest of Europe.
It's a ridiculous situation in England right now where every journalist is writing that Tottenham underpay rather than pointing out that Jesse Lingard earns more than players like Isco, Asensio, Carvajal, and Navas.
The English game has lost all sense of value.
The players in our squad worth rocking the boat for are Eriksen, Alli and Kane. Perhaps Toby too. Not Kyle Walker and Danny Rose.
