An offer is on the table for Wilf so we hear but he hasn't accepted it? In which case it is indeed a matter for negotiation I guess the club could play hardball and say 'take it or leave it?

I would have loved the deal to be decreasing with time.

Sign before the end of the season £150k/w
Sign before the transfer window opens £120k/w
Sign before the end of June £100k/w
Sign before the season starts £90k/w

If not, what incentive is there for him to sign quickly? None. He might as well wait to collect all the offers in and then make a choice. Meanwhile our transfer strategy is on pause.

i am amazed we offered him a contract at all, 60k a week and 2 yrs is about the right amount, and it would be too derogatory to offer him what he is worth, very bad business decision

Absolutely, which is why circa £60k per week is about the right amount for a potential impact sub, certainly no more.

Apparently he's standing completely still, a couple of yards offside.

Bit harsh but couldn't resist

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I was just reading a piece on NewsNow that Lazio are cooling their interest in Zaha now because of his agents 10 mill fee . Greedy cvnt .
