Ed, is there any news on the deulofeu deal it's all gone very quiet. Also are the links to payet true, thanks
{Ed025's Note - the del boy deal is at the ironing out details stage dan, he wants to come and its all about number crunching on the personal details..payet is not coming, west ham have offered him £70k per week and we cant or more to the point wont match it mate, shame that as i think he is talented..

So deulofeu is a probable. I like payet too but looks like he's chose the money then. We should be stumping up 70k a week though if we Wanna move forward
{Ed025's Note - i agree dan, with all the sky money surely that sort of money cant be beyond us mate..or is it?.. :(

It's a bit strange if u ask me ed. We can pay cleverley 50k but we can't pay a talented creative player who were crying out for 70k? We're not loaded but we're not paupers it really needs sorting out. I think chances are payet would have chose us over West ham. Anyone else were looking at ed? I'll chip in and pay a tenner a week to messis wages if he's intetested
{Ed025's Note - we are interested in austin dan, and im sure we will hear about others pretty soon mate..

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

Surely wages can't be an issue I'd think Lukaku is on more than 70k

I think the problem is that at the moment are average wage is probably 50k a week. So if we start buying players that want more the players we already have will expect more aswell.
Look at cleverly.
Although I'm happy with the signing I don't think it's fair to put him infront of most of are players Earning wise before he's even kicked a ball.
We definitely need to up are average wage to compete with the other teams but I feel it needs to be done over a few years.
