Where did you find our wage bill? I searched through our 2017-18 financial documents and all I found on page 20 was that staff cost salaries were 130.204 million pounds. But that's for all employees, not just the footballers.

These are the numbers most media outlets use ... not sure of there accuracy but probably as good as you will get

Have to say that 19 pages about this guy is pretty incredible. I know I posted the Monty Python "Messiah/Naughty Boy" sketch earlier but the point is still valid. Before the rumours started circulating he was never mentioned and he was certainly not regarded as a 'must have' buy.
Granted the thought of him joining us was exciting but I think everyone had a small piece of doubt that it would ever happen. I certainly do not look on him not signing as a terrible disaster and see no reason to talk about actively pursuing him again in January whilst the European window remains open.
Think Dybala needs to go on the back burner until after Christmas and if he is still at Juventus and unhappy then by all means go back and see how things stand.

I am still amazed by how low football salaries are. Yes, I realize they are high compared to regular jobs, but it still seems like an underpaid market to me.
In the US, the NFL and NBA are salary capped so they are not a fair comparison, but baseball is not salary capped and also has 25 or so people per team much like football. The average Major League Baseball team has a payroll of 136 million dollars or 113 million pounds.

A real-time look at the salary totals for each MLB team, including positional breakdowns.
And that's freakin' baseball, which most Americans couldn't give 2 shits about. I mean, 22 MLB teams have a higher payroll than Spurs. That shit is cray.
Well, as the Italian league doesn't start until this weekend I would think that it would be fair to say I would have hoped to see him playing by the end of the month.
Dont see what Serie A has to do with anything, but lets have this discussion again in January when people want another "must have" to save our season.
Im sure they´ll all be happy to wait 6 weeks to see them play.
New excuse: Its ok this time because they´ve been playing with their old club
Grave reservations about going back in for this guy in January, now.
Poch will just go back to the diamond and use it as our default (because you know he ain't dropping Kane... even though his abandonment of any sort of pressing effects the whole team's rhythm and urgency).
We should go get Bruno Fernandes, who was gagging to come here.
Much better fit for what we're lacking imo (especially if Eriksen goes).
Imagine a MF 3 of NDombele - Lo Celso - Fernandes.
We then bring Parrott through as defined back-up. The kid's got it.
Then next summer we overhaul our FB situation and properly get that sorted.
Think that's a better way forward for us.

Dybala was just the annual fan appeasement rumour.
Happens at least every summer window and sometimes the winter window too.
I would like us to sign them both.
I would like Kate Moss to be my girlfriend, but that isn't going to happen either.

Corr mate, you must like a night on the gere if you want her for a bird.
Kate Moss is like 50 now, old man
A mere youngster!
And what would be wrong with that?
