You can't just go out and buy players and make a super team, because it's so hard to do that. The salary cap doesn't allow it. We have a much smaller salary cap than the NBA, and they only have 12 on a roster.

Connor McDavid

I look back to the 1980s and 1990s, when Italian teams dominated Europe. They had maybe three players from abroad, but they were the best players in the world. That was perfect, because there was always the possibility for young Italian players to get in the team.

Gianfranco Zola

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we didn't have a salary cap.

Jerry Jones

For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.

Niko Kovac

The owners said that they wanted the salary cap and refused to promise that they would abide by the rules of the just-expired contract after the season ended. Believing we had no choice, the players went on strike in August of 1994.

David Cone

There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you're going to attract top players. It's part and parcel of football.

Jermain Defoe

Some people said, 'Why didn't you sign Peyton Manning?' Well, we just couldn't do it. We would have had to let go of two or three of our outstanding players to create enough room in the salary cap to do something with him.

Bob McNair

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.

Bob Uecker

In the salary-cap-free world of MLB, you get what you pay for... but only if you pay the most.

Tom Morello

Players recognize the sense of humility that comes with the cap and with wearing the cap.

Len Pascoe

There are 50 people fitter than me between the top 70 to 150 in the world. There are some players not as fit as me inside the top 10 in the world. Will fitness help them? I don't think so.

Bernard Tomic

The vast sums of money that are coming in at the top end of the game are stretching the rest of the sides to try to get as much benefit out of what finance they've got and get the best players they can find for that finance.

Sam Allardyce

It's the inability to handle the pressure that makes a big difference between the Italian players and the England players when it comes to the World Cup stage.

Gianluca Vialli

When it comes to salary negotiation, don't forget that salary is only one term of employment. What else is on the table - vacation time, benefits, bonuses, flex days? Before determining that these terms are 'must-haves' or 'giveaways' to get a bigger salary, find out what the counterpart has to offer.

Christopher Voss

Even with the quality of players that we have, they're an extremely hard side to break down and once they get on top of you, you find it difficult to stem the flow of attacks.
