That's my point though. The type of players being extolled are the "marquee" signings that would be demanding wages comparable with our peers. Wages well upwards of £100K, even £150K plus, which would have our other key players demanding comparable. As I said in my first post, it's a slippery slope that has no guarantee of success and, IMHO, is a little too early for us as we do not yet have the structure in place to absorb and mitigate should a failure to achieve required goals occur.
It's about the timing, and our time for this type of calculated gamble is not yet, again IMO.
I didn't think they were these types of players being demanded, but if so then your point is valid
On this point though, the likes of Barkley, Marhez, Foyth, Periera, etc aren't really top draw marquee signings
Sure they'd improve us, but I would imagine that they'd be happy to join for £100k a week or under
Marhez might be an issue (he signed a 4 year deal http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37112706 so might be on 100k a week already), but the others aren't on that type of money
