I guess you would only take it if you could get a similar deal elsewhere, maybe slightly less and the figure from your old club is like a bonus then. Those on fantastic deals won't take it...like Phil Jones at United.

I imagine most players have a wage plus bench or starter fee. This has come out from the Warnock investigation, in that he allegedly asked Rowan Vine to give him his starter bonus of £6k a month to play him.
