I realise you're just being super cool 'n all, but they're looking to pay Remy £70k a week and I'm guessing M'Vila too, this to add to the likes of Bosingwa, César, Hoilett & even Barton who is still on their books, it's hardly just "1 player on high wages".
No-one is certain what will happen if they fail to cement themselves into the top end of the league, but it isn't ridiculous to suggest that they will be pretty fucked if they go down.
