Ive been thinking about this recently trying to work out the reasoning behind it. As some have mentioned it had to do with the fact that its cheaper to give huge contracts then to lose players on a free. Cant see any other reason why the heck we do this. If thats the case then fine. But there has to be a plan for when those players are no longer needed. Either we have to pay off their contracts. Sell them for dirt cheap. Or allow the manager to drop them to the reserves and then get replacements. Basically if we have high wages fine but that cannot in any shape or form affect bringing in new players. Otherwise the club is dead.
The Goalkeeper situation is the latest of the crazies. For some reason we felt that we needed to give Henderson 120k a week. Sounds crazy to everyone. But fine. Thats your plan. I get it. Keep him happy. But what the fk is the long term plan? If he plays great then it doesnt matter because we literally cant sell De Gea cos of his 350 a week wages. If he plays sht we cant sell Henderson because of his 120 a week wages. We cant get rid of Romero either. So what happens now? They just rotate themselves to death for 5 years until one of their contracts runs out and they go on a free? Sell them for 5 mill? What?
