Makes huge difference when we've got Wilshere, Ramsey, Bellerin, Iwobi et al all having cost nothing. How msn if their first team players did they get for peanuts?Consider any team. They all have players that are under priced like Hazard because he was bought some years ago or Ramsey because he was bought for a small fee. And most EPL teams are over paying for players these days too e.g. Lukaku, Lacazette, etc.
So squad cost is not exact and could average out as much +\- £50m because of these anomalies.
But so what? City at £900m +\- £50m are going to be a lot better than Arsenal £400m -/+ £50m or Liverpool £437m-/+£50m. And have a much greater probability of winning the league.
