I get that, but in reality we have a finite amount of playing budget and it is about to get considerably smaller.
taking those figures as correct (they could easily be nonsense)
smithies alone accounts for about 8% of the total budget, that's probably too much for a player for whom we have a good replacement.
looking at the squad in total this season about 20% of our wage budget has been basically wasted on players who have been out of favour or continually injured. if we manage our resources better we will see an improvement on the pitch.

yes keep them both if we've got money to burn, but I don't get the impression we do
