Throw in two marquees and suddenly the gap grows. And if we aren't going to have a back up GK and versatile mid/def as PART of that outside the cap spend (because they are the only ones who qualify for it), then they aren't even worth discussing as options, IMO.
I understand what your saying, and i agree a couple of marquees outside the cap would definitely see us better able to compete wage wise with other clubs.

I just don't agree that the marginal cap saving advantage that re-signing these two players (who should be on min wage) allows, outweighs the downside of bringing down the overall quality of the squad by encouraging these mediocre signings.

If we did get a couple of quality marquees and ALSO stopped paying overs for the players that wouldn't get a run at another club... then we're onto something.
