🔺Real paying Mbappe a £120m sign on fee show why it’s just very misleading to look at transfer fees only when its evaluated how “expensive” a squad is, as the cost for Real to get Mbappe would be marked as £nil.

🔺The average cost per year for signing Rasmus Højlund for £64m to a 5 year 75k a week contract is £16.7m. This is also how the cost is recorded in the books, ie at £16.7m per season.

The average cost per year for signing Jadon Sancho for £72.9m to a 5 year 350k a week contract is £32.78m. I.e. almost double the cost of Rasmus, while the transfer fees are comparable.

The average cost per year for City to sign Erling Haaland for £60m to a 5 year 550k a week contract is NOT £40m which one might think — but at least £56m in a non treble winning season and reportedly around £70m in a treble winning season and somewhere underwent 56-70m per year when big titles are won, ie 570% of Rasmus Højlund’s cost. Still, if we only look at transfer fees, Højlund is more “expensive” than both Haaland and Mbappe.

MUFC was rumored to be interested in Adrien Rabbiot on a “free” transfer. Rabiot wanted a 10m sign-on bonus and to make 10m — net — in wages, which equals app. £307k in wages. The average yearly cost of signing Rabbiot “for free” would have been 18.7m, which is more than Højlund’s avg costs per year.

Another example is Andre Onana, who after a £45m transfer fee and a 100k a week wage has an avg yearly cost of £14.2m, ie he is also cheaper than Rabiot on a free would have been.

Casemiro, Varane and Antony are all expensive signings, with an average yearly cost of 30m, 28m and 26m respectively.

🔺Why do I think this is important to point out? We have already begun to ‘cut costs’ significantly at MUFC. This at a time while our rivals rapidly are increasing their cost. When we look at the transfer fees paid under ETH, it could look like we are spending as much as our rivals, but in terms of actual costs we are — way — behind City and Chelsea, behind Arsenal and not far ahead of Liverpool.

We must for sure do more clever business going forward. But it is just incorrect to think that we currently have an expensive squad in relation to our rivals or that we have spent more than our rivals the last seasons. If we are to compete with City and Arsenal, investments must be made in the squad.
