Could the rules be circumvented by paying generous signing on fees in addition to the capped wages? It seems too simple a solution, so I'm guessing not.The post I was responding to seemed to refer to transfer spend. Anyone commanding a big fee would almost certainly be on wages we couldn't afford under the salary cap. While that constraint is in place, being smart is the most important thing.
Because of the cap. Theoretically, you can spend as much as you like on transfers, so long as whoever you buy will play for around £2k/week. That's where the disconnect is.
