Think he may be able to get into a newly promoted team or a perennial struggler who are will to take the risk . Think he’s too predictable and will struggle against full backs who are on the whole strong and fast in the PL

I think he just wanted to be paid in line with the top performers in the championship. We didn't even offer him an increase in salary - just the same contract over a longer period.

I doubt that to be honest, we've provided plenty of increased terms to players and got them over the line. Even top end championship is several times our top earner, it's not really feasible as a good five or six clubs are working on in different leagues financially.

I wouldn't have thought he would mess about too much longer, like you say, his market value has far surpassed what he earns here, or what we can afford, for me, he should go and get it as long as the club is suitably compensated.

I think we have a pretty hard salary cap mind mate. It’s one of the reasons we couldn’t get Steward to sign a new deal.

The problem we presently have is, all our better players are fully aware they can get better wages elsewhere. At some point they will need to show flexibility over the structure

Yea definitely, it has to be built into the planning, the way in which to increase it, in theory, is to sell players for lots of money.

Teams paying £33m for players who have never featured for their parent club, £35m for players who barely contributed G/A and don't even have a permanent position and yet are reluctant to spend £18m on a young player with 24 goals & 16 assists in 2 seasons.

I don't get it.
