If you as owner keeps on bragging that you can compete with any team in the world or lets say England, it tells me that it includes wages too not just transfer fees.
Exactly it's a package deal in it ! I have said before you could offer 10,20 mil above anyone else but if you haven't sorted the personal terms (wages) it won't make a brass razoo's difference
If FSG mean only in transfer fees and not wages well that's not competing at all
