They probably do if you tried to buy all those loan players! Probably better to say that Fulham had a team out that was valued at more than ours would have been, by quite a margin, I would say.

Even with Zaha in, Fulham's squad is probably worth more than ours (if you include what those loan players would cost to buy)

Our squads value has massively decreased due to age tho, atleast the board has no other option this summer, they have to spend money.

I don't think anyone would disagree with you there, but I wasn't talking about wages but player valuations. The problem with our wage bill is that most of our players aren't worth what they were offered even when they signed and most have now declined in output, so their wages now are even more obscene.

As for Leeds, I agree but will they end up being next season's Sheff U?

You can’t equate what the board are paying a player with how good that player turns out to be in practise. Even a transfer fee is not always an accurate way of deciding exactly how good the player really is. It’s all a matter of judgements that can be wide of the mark.
So many of our squad have gone past their peak years, it doesn’t change that because they are still on a very decent salary.
Leeds wage bill didn’t come into it. They outplayed us because most of there squad are in their prime years , and they had far to much in the tank ,for our overpaid outfit.
