Giant in Pastyland now
Well yeh but anyone who gets better will want a bigger salary in a hurry so it saves nothing. Whereas every player that does not and has a higher than deserved salary will coast. I have seen it happen at United for years on much shorter contracts. Phil Jones is constantly forgotten and on way too much.That’s a calculated risk , however it’s partially mitigated in some of the newer signings on relatively low salaries which gives room to reward those whose value increases. It’s a squad in rapid transition and there will inevitably be players sold in the close season .
