I very much doubt it. That salary for Broja was signed with him in the Chelsea youth teams, where as Bazuna, Lavia and Bella-Kotchap have been signed by Saints to be 1st team players and their wages will likely reflect that and be significantly higher.

Saints under 21s vs Frome Town today...

The club clearly tell him things in advance. Has happened on numerous occasions.

You need to pay Steve's £5 tax to get rid of them. 😇

The £113m is for the entire companies wage bill, player salaries take up the vast majority of it though.

No, not even close. Some Saints fans underestimate just how much Saints are paying players. Saints have an annual wage bill of £113m, that isn't from paying mid range players £20k p/w.

Thierry Small is still only 17 years old, to say he hasn't 'stepped up' is pretty harsh! 😁

The Chelsea FM researcher who runs @chelseayouth twitter account with 240,000 followers (one of which is Broja himself) believes Broja is on £7.5k p/w

Eight of the ten are products of the club’s Academy, with the two others Boot and Charles have joined from AFC Bournemouth and QPR.

I should indeed know that, having created him on FM 😁 Mistake due to me thinking about him being linked to Newcastle recently and mixing him with Dibling's cohort.

Saints haven't signed any players from other academies who block Dibling's pathway as an attacking midfielder. If he is going to Newcastle it is due to money, not blocked pathways.

No Tyler Dibling 😞

a) The season between Spring and Autumn. In the Northern Hemisphere from the Summer solstice to the Autumnal equinox. b) That makes no sense. What exactly are you talking about?

What questions do you think I haven't answered?

By 'this' you mean... ignore answering entirely relevant questions based on comparable players at similar sized clubs. Who would you rather Saints had at right back... Wan-Bissaka for £50m or Walker-Peters?

Pointing out that Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White is not 'nonsense', it is reality and is entirely relevant. Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them? Or worth as much as them with 3 years left on his contract.

That is not an answer to either question. Give an answer a try!

1) Were you stunned by Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? How do you think they managed to get £50m? 2) Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them?

I'm guessing you were stunned when Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? That is the transfer market we live in. Walker-Peters is better than both of them, and his value is aided by 3 years left on his contract.

Are you ruling out any owner investment? If so... why?

He very easily is! He has 3 years left of his contract, so his value remains high. We live in a world where Aaron Wan Bissaka and Ben White were both sold for £50m!
