Barry is also making like 60/70 a week. McCarthy, Niasse are both close as well. Just getting the salaries off the books is huge.

True this, dont think we have done enough of this so far, apart form Kone, Rom and Del, not much has been taken off the wage bill this summer, McAleny and Pennington couldnt of been on much, if we can move Barry, McCarthy, Niasse, Besic, Lennon and Joel that would be a nice big saving
 
A good deal for all parties if he goes I reckon. Frees up some money for us, West Brom get a player miles better than any midfielder they've currently got and, most importantly for me, a good pro like Barry gets to play every week. Having said that, I'd be happy to have a calm head on the pitch in the Europa League games where I imagine a lot of young players will be given a chance, and he's still good enough to run midfield in that tournament.

He's been great for us, especially considering his age. There were maybe a few months in his second season where he was dead on his feet with the European games and Martinez should have give him a rest, but other than that he's been very reliable, consistent and quality. Off the field it appears he's been the ultimate professional and probably an invaluable influence on the likes of Tom Davies and Mason Holgate.

Whatever happens, it'll be an incredible achievement once he's played 5 more games and becomes the record appearance holder in Premier League history. Big fan.

Don't think Joel or Besic are on much, but we can probably get some change for Joel. I'd keep Mo.
 

I'd keep him until at least the January window. Who know's what injuries we might pick up and his experience will be invaluable...
 
Id bin McCarthy & Besic before Barry but if the fella wants to play every week then fair enough. He's handy back up, but at 36 we cant stop him wanting to play every week & i hope he takes the record.
 
Once Barry, Robles, McCarthy, Barkley and Niasse go will our wage bill even be higher than last season? No wage increase, no real money spent, what a summer!

Niasse 50k
Barkley 80k
McCarthy 60k

Covers Sigurdsson and whatever ale house striker and defender we bring in.

So probably higher than last but not to so that some blues can take it as some sought of weird victory

What about Barry who's definitely leaving as well mate? Around £60k too I imagine.

Be very interesting come September 1st if our wage bill has grown that much.

I am going guess it won't and we won't have spent much either. Sales of Niasse, Barkley and McCarthy.

Guessing around £55/£60 Million incoming
