This summer we have shed the wages of Donny (120K), Martial (250K), Varane (340K), Willams (60K) and Greenwood (80K).
The wages are about as mismatch as the squad building has been. AWB earning more than Dalot, Mount coming in and getting the #7 being paid more than Bruno, Martinez earning the same as Lindelof while Maguire is on 190K, and then of course Sancho, Casemiro and Rashford on far too high wages.
In terms of dressing room harmony and getting rid of cultural entitlement, it would be great to move on Casemiro who in no way justifies his wage, Eriksen who does not represent any sort of value at 150K a week, Sancho quite clearly, Lindlof and Maguire, Antony, and Rashford. That's half a team, so this of course takes time. But the sooner the better. It's a weird situation to have, being perhaps a key player in a side and earning half the money a waster on the bench earns.
It really is a golden opportunity now to stick to a strict wage structure (definitely not cater to Bruno's pandering for a new contract) and only pay superstar wages to bona fide superstars, if we ever acquire or develop (and if the latter, only once they've become that good).
I'd even suggest that getting Malacia in relatively cheap was good, but giving him 75K a week was quite a large wage given he's completely unproven.
Players who are due an upgrade are Martinez, Dalot, Garnacho and Mainoo, but I'd hope those upgrades be sensible, and that would be easier if we manage to shift quite a few of those who are not anyway near justifying their wage. Pleasantly surprised to see the sensible wages given to Zirkzee and Yoro. It's certainly a signal of more common sense going forward.
