Very true. Weāve already reset the bar of top earners with Salahās current deal.
Does make you wonder what Virg, Trent Konate and Diaz might be asking for or being offered and if this new top bracket might already be causing us some issues with renewals.
Ultimately I think the team has to get younger and cheaper in terms of wages. You donāt do that by offering massive deals to everyone asking for one.

What PSG has done, transitioning their squad from a a quasi Galactico squad, to one filled with talented and hungry youngsters is a good template to use. Although LFC doesnāt quite have the same financial backing as PSG.

PSG had long claimed to want to be this team. They have long spoken about their desire to tap into the absurd talent pool of Paris to develop their own players and have often put more value on some of those young players precisely because of their local ties. But they just kept getting in their own way and had bad luck with injuries to legit home grown players (Kimpembe has gone about 2 years without playing because of injury).
This is what Campos was brought in to finally realize and credit to them as they look like they are finally living up their footballing vision, even if theyāve ended up doing it without much of a Parisian/homegrown presence

PSG have also spent ā¬1b in the last three seasons on that plucky underdog team.

Thatās the reason why Iām reluctant to give them praise. Iām not sure if they are Man City-level of corruption (simply because they are usually out of my sight) but, off the pitch, they are pretty much everything Iām against in modern football.

It gets to the point where you just ask yourself , how much money do these fuckers really need ? Just let 'em go if theyāre holding the club to ransom.
Younger , cheaper ā¦ youāre dead right.

Which one is unmentionable Legs?
Xavi Simons still only 21?
The unmentionable one has not been mentioned. Itās in the nature of it being unmentionable.
It is mentioned on the BBC rumours page.

Manchester City , Liverpool , Chelsea and Arsenal have all been watching River Plateās 17-year-old Argentine winger Franco Mastantuono, who has a release clause of about Ā£35m.
That one?
Nope. Missed that one. Maybe weāll let Chelsea pay 35 million for 17year old.

Reminder that Frimpong grew up in England and joined the City academy when he was 10.
