Ihatefootball- i do understand your point. If you think of it in its basic terms as just a game with grown men out in a field kicking a ball then it's absolutely rediculous. The reality is football is a business and they are the star attractions in an industry that generates billions.
In any business you have to spend in order to have a competitive advantage over your competition and I'm proud to support the club and am thrilled they are investing back in the team to buy or keep some of the worlds best players. Without De Gea we probably wouldn't be in the Champions League which is worth millions to the club.
Ed007 I'd love to find a happy medium, but as long as club profits continue to raise then I'd imagine player wages will as well.
{Ed002's Note - There are constraints within FFP in respect of the wages.}

Have to disagree with ihatefootball's opinion on players deserving the amount of money they get paid. When you look at the massive amounts the teams are earning through apparel and jersey sales, ticket sales, concessions, Champions League- the players deserve every penny they can get. Nobody pays to watch us kick about on the weekends. They pay to watch the best players in the world at their jobs.
When you hear about players like Messi paying a sick childs medical bills how can you find a complaint with how much they earn?
{Ed007's Note - Aye, it's not every sick kid that can get a football club to pay for private 'treatments'.}
