To be clear, Klaus et, I was responding to Evoh's claim Vela could command a premium on his wages from Arsenal due to his low transfer fee. I do not believe that this is possible because we face a transfer fee that is 10 - 15m pounds less than what other clubs would face. The other clubs are less likely to spend 10 - 15m pounds more than us on his registration and then outspend us on his wages. If all clubs faced a 3m pound transfer fee, then there would be heightened competition for his registration. He could then pocket this premium in the form of higher wages or a signing bonus
In the worst scenario: even if they were willing to outspend us on his wages, the 10 million pound difference means that we can pay 40,000 pounds extra a week over a 5 year contract to face the same cost-to-company as them.
The Fabregas case is less clear. The types of clubs that could go for Fabregas would be willing to pay anything in transfer fees and anything in wages. He is a guy who United could pay 200- 250 pounds a week comfortably to solve their midfield risis
