But would you be willing to pay him £50,000 a week for that year?

Is that his weekly wage that he demanded.?

I have no idea what he was asking but it won't be £10k so what would be a sensible amount to you or others that would like to have seen him come to us ?

Perhaps hes a realist? No room in premier league so championship next stop and asking more than 50k is probably not going to get him a club hence burnley with parachute payments can afford it. But we certainly should be able to afford the average freebie but of course bbm may not want anyone or tan wont spend the money?

I don' t think a 39 year old would draw what you stated guessed at 50,000 but our predicament i would try and sign a proven for a season to help us out of our mess

Ambition does not mean signing players at this time of the year - WE Have had 4 months to sort this out :shock:

I reckon Vardy will score more goals than Salech this season

Vardy will get a lot less time on the pitch - 20 mins impact sub more often than not.

Salech will rack up much more time.

Goals per minute - mostly like Vardy

Total goals - could be close.

We missed an opportunity here, probably wouldn't have come here but you never know.

1. It wouldn't have been 'desperate' to move for Vardy. Do you think Burnley thought that?

2. Couldn't care less what money he'd get, as it isn't my money. 10k a week, 50k, who cares!?

I've no doubt Vardy would've given the whole place a lift but nevermind, we'll rely on Salech and crocked Davies because CR47 is only ever given the last 5 minutes of matches.
