The seven first team squad members, Kouyate, Schlupp, McArthur, Tomkins, Ayew, Kelly and Clyne are on 315K a week between them, Kouyate highest 67k, Clyne lowest 19K, i didn't bother including Jach, Also Benteke, Luka and Jairo are on 265K a week between them. it must be our priority to release or sell as many as we can to be able to bring another 3/4 players in. as none of the players above are indispensable.

I think you are probably about right, unless there is another 70m available, i would also expect Kouyate, Sclupp, McArthur and Tomkins to be offered reduced salary's, if they are wanted.

I thought Kelly would have been the lowest and Clyne one of the highest

[Link] that is what i used, it could be rubbish, but it looks about right to me

What we will witness is a continuation of last season's exodus, players that under Hodgson had reached the end of their contracts and were earning far too much for what they could produce on the pitch. It's an ongoing process to reduce the wage bill and squad age.
