The latest wagebill

I was looking at how the wagebill is looking, with Downings imminent (X fingers crossed X) departure,

Mignolet 50000
Jones, Ward 15000
Johnson 100000
Kelly 30000
Wisdom 15000
Toure 75000
Skrtel 70000
Agger 80000
Coates 25000
Enrique 70000
Allen 40000
Henderson 60000
Gerrard 160000
Lucas 60000
Alberto 30000
Coutinho 45000
Aspas 42000
Sterling 30000
Ibe 10000
Assaidi 23000
Borini 45000
Suarez 120000
Sturridge 60000
Yesil 10000
Total per week 1265000
Total per year 65780000

So we're currently looking at a wage bill that has plummeted to £66M (£71M with Downing).

£8M will far have been saved with this summers ins and outs (including Downing), £5M last January. Retrospectively last summer saw Maxi, Kuyt, Bellamy, Aurelio, Adam, Spearing, and Carroll moved off the books for a combined wage of almost £30M, and around £7M net reduction, including improved contracts.

There certainly been some impressive, and long overdue, streamlining of the wage bill. I was going to compare to the opposition but this is where things start to breakdown, as my current information has Everton at £65M, Spurs £100M, Arsenal £140M, which all seems too good to be true.

I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something, no doubt I'm off with some of these numbers. Corrections/input welcomed.
