The retained list is on the Premier League website... https://share.google/it2dEq3LhPdNmjooG And so is the released list... https://share.google/vO7QGqr0O5e7sEfZy

Not giving individual wages. Just ballpark numbers for certain roles at different levels of the game. That doesn't break GDPR.

It is very tricky to work out! I use a range of things... - media reports - club accounts to see total wage bill and work back from that - Sports Interactive has a lot of football industry contacts who can help with ballpark figures in the online database guidlines that researchers use - Some researchers work for clubs which helps Lots of guesswork! Many will be incorrect, but hopefully not by too much.

The official Premier League site does not list player wages.

Those websites haven't got a clue. They pluck numbers out of mid air. I've even seen some take their numbers from FM, and I'm the one making those up!

The wages you listed look like nonsense. Plus last time we were relegated the Athletic reported the players had 40% wage reduction clauses.

The transfer window is not currently open! It was open from 1st June until 10th June. But it has since been shut again for the last week and won't open again until Monday 16th June. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c2kqx3724zdo

No I did not. I talked about how scoring tap ins regularly is a skill.

Nothing wrong with a tap in. It is a skill in itself to be in the right position to score them regularly ala Gary Lineker!

Maybe Pochettino can put in a good word about the club...

Try looking longer term than only the current season. All 4 of Traoré, Kayi Sanda, Juan and Matsuki have all gained experience and value. For relatively little outlay. Sure it didn't help us stay up this season, but nor is it the reason we went down. It may help us stay up next time to have players like them closer to readiness for the 1st team. Or are you suggesting we never do anything for the medium or long term?

Both still happen at most pro clubs in the UK and are used in recruitment decisions to support each other.

Would he really have been tested that much by West Brom and Leeds to the extent we wouldn't win? McCarthy wasn't particularly overstretched in any of the playoff games. We beat both with Bazunu in goal during the season. How did that happen?

I just listed them in the post you quoted. @Dusic further expanded on them.

It didn't cause our shit season. It is very little money and they've all increased in value.

We've had three players out on loan to sister clubs this season. Gaining experience and value to benefit Saints. Plus allows us to get work permits for players that may struggle otherwise to get. Plus signed a very promising player from a sister club.

Juan and Matsuki were signed for minimal prices and remain Saints assets. It isn't funding other clubs, them improving out on loan benefits Saints. It also allows Saints to get work permits for players they couldn't otherwise sign.

Don't believe everything you read.

Only 2 goals in 16 League Two games suggests otherwise. He is older than Dibling and Dibling impressed in the Premier League.

Fed up based on which staff moves around the group?

Which 8 other Championship teams do you think will spend more than £10m+ on a player this summer? Ipswich, Leicester, Sheffield United and Birmingham are probably the only ones capable of doing so.

They couldn't get close to affording his transfer fee let alone his wages.

Our young players in recent years haven't been the issue. Many have excelled in poor teams. The issues have been with experienced players who lacked quality.
