I'm not professing to be an ITK and have loads of inside knowledge but from what I was told there are the players like Wilf, Benteke and Sakho on the £100k plus, then you have Townsend, Meyer and a couple of others around the £80k, Dann and a few others around £60k and Luka is looking to be in the range between Dann and Townsend, which I don't think is unreasonable. I think we'll agree terms and this story is the work of an agent trying to get the contract sorted rather than genuine interest. I hope so because one thing those confident of replacing Luka need to be aware of. At this rate we’ll be replacing a whole team within 18-24 months. We need to think carefully about letting that happen. I feel we’ll have to be selling and buying a bit cheaper to evolve the team and get through the sale of Zaha, or spread the total money for more players on lower wages, but if we do that with all of them and they happen very close together then we’re really vulnerable. Think about it again. The whole of the spine of the team. Luka and Benteke or new def mid and striker at the same time, Sakho maybe off to France, Tomkins who knows. If we had our act in gear with knowlyof who we’d replace any of our players with then I’d be more confident. Is anyone honestly confident?

Luca is our best signing since A.J.

Luca is our best signing since A.J. Totally agree and without his goals,exactly where would we be??? Time to tie him down now to a new deal.

This will be management by spreadsheets, disconnected to the task at hand.

Blimey! If that is true - and I've no reason to doubt you John - then we are lost. I think he is replaceable but for pities' sake - he's easily worth what Tomkins or Dann is paid. I think he's a lot harder to replace than some people are saying. An absolutely pivotal part of the midfield. I hope that whatever contract issues exist are resolved very, very soon.

Fantastic news, not all doom and gloom.

Excellent news. He’s one of our own.

|

great news - looks like our central midfield is in good shape for the next 3 years
|

Thank goodness - feared he might decide to run down his contract and therefore have his mind on next season rather than on the one starting tonight!
