    We were never going to sign him in January. It suited both party's to do it at the end of the season.
    Brighton wanted a fee and towell didn't want to loose his 5 figure weekly wage.
    June he's a free agent. Do we want to sign him as one of our top earners? Is there better options for the money ?
    If we go down will be want to earn a 1/3 of what he's getting now?..

    For me cayton it's a no brainer, get him signed up if the deal can be done.

    Give him a deal that includes 10 litres of tooth whitener.

    Would you have him if the wage was on par with these players?

    I think on this seasons performances he would be worth less than all of these but I fear that he will be after more because presumably he is on much more than all of these at the moment ?

    Fully agree,we have to be careful not to agree a deal, which will probably upset players, who are more skillful, having agreed to lower wages.However, what we should be doing is offering better contracts, to the above mentioned.It makes no economic sense, to allow a very good player to run out his contract and receive nothing at all.Tie these good players down NOW.We have not invested in new players coming in ,therefore there are funds there, that should be used to extend these contracts.
