How did our wage bill increase when we offloaded two of our top earners? We also lost Almongia in the summer! Or did we again give the unproven kids 30-40K/week?

I think Kos and the Ox got increases last season. Presumably Podolski and Cazorla weren't cheap either; those two, together, would probably be earning more than Song and Van Persie were earning.
