Don't you get the impression that the money is there, but we're not willing to pay over our own evaluation for players? They're not like Shepherd, who would probably say something like "Sod it, offer him £120k per week!" :S
The same Shepherd who refused to sign Anelka and Boa Morte based on the fact that he wasn't willing to pay over our own evaluation for players?
He's talking about wages isn't he? I don't remember Shepherd turning anyone down over wages tbh.
Not like you to disagree for the sake of it
I made the point that Shepherd wasn't the "fuck it, it's only money" type that the poster was making him out to be. I've never seen wage negotiations hit the papers though tbh.
Weren't we in serious debt when Ashley took over? :S
Anyway, thats's not important, got any more info on the Modric situation?
