    i dont see any way gallagher is going to get 24k a week with us he was on 18k at brum so asking for a 33 per cent rise is a bit over the top hes worth 20k max

    Money doesn't always buy you success players need to be bought who fits into current squad.As for wages when Blackwell was manager I asked him about some players and then they wanted 12 grand a week plus all the add ons.there are players in lower divisions with work who can do jobs for for higher league clubs. Its all about having a good academy and scouting system.For us Blades we have 30000 scouts (fans) who most can spot a good player perhaps should be better link to pass these onto management team

    No,
    But at the same time, better players earn more.

    £24000 isn't scandalous by today's standards and there are plenty of players that are worth it. Gallagher isn't one of them IMO.

    Waffling platitudes about increased budgets knowing full well that we wont pay the wages that an increased budget demands sounds pretty hollow.

    It's a bit like having £10 million in cash to buy a 15 bedroom mansion but not be able to pay the gas and leccy bill every month

    So whilst you'd baulk at the idea of Gallagher receiving a 33% pay rise, you'd happily give him an additional 11%, despite his below par stint at Birmingham last season?

    To play this scenario out, if you recruited him at £20k/week, how would you respond when the agents of Fleck, JOC, Egan, Coutts, Leon, Duffy and Sharp come knocking on your door demanding parity? Agree and blow the remainder of the budget (and possibly more) or refuse and risk dressing room unrest and players demanding moves away?

    Do you now see the issue that RW alluded to?

    ...the problem is the differential isn't it..?

    We expect 11 players to put the shirt on and go out and give their all, but what happens when one players 'all' is earning them two or three or ten times someone else's 'all'.

    Will we ever be paying a player £500,000 per week wages like the other lesser Utd are paying Sanchez.

    Where is it coming from,its obscene.
