I would guess there will be a change when the players from Mourinho era leave / retire. They're the ones who are paid most at Chelsea and the I would estimate that the players we've bought in the last couple of years (excluding Torres of course) are all on around 40-70k a week and some probably even less. Of course if they live up to expectations their wages will rise but still be way less than what Terry, Lamps, Cole, Drogba etc. are making at the moment. To think Salomon Kalou is currently making more money than Juan Mata is beyond ridiculous and just shows how things have changed in recent years. No way we would still give a player like Kalou a contract that good.
