What's your point?

Don't believe everything you read in the papers - no matter how widely reported it is.

I totally agree, but I think it's quite obvious he is one of the top earners, we will never know exactly how much.

It wouldn't surprise me if he is one of the higher earners at Villa, but I don't think it's as much as £60k/wk - I think it's just Ashley and Heskey that are on that amount.

Where do people get these wage figures from for individual players?

the 60k figure was reported widely when he joined and has been ever since. Could be a few grand either side of 60 i guess, but its in that ballpark

It was also widely reported that Darren Bent was on £90k/week whilst he was at Spurs.
yep it was nearer to £80k

I reckon we could get Cahill back. I think he'd come because (like Bent) he'd see us as a better chance of giving him regular international football and there probably won't be any better offers available. Also, we've 15% sell on clause of over £5m don't we?

Surely we could work something out with that, and potentially any money they still owe on Zat. As well as having a plethora of centre halves they could choose from for a potential swap deal...

Not sure Cahill is the answer as I think Clark needs a more commanding CD alongside him (plus our midfielders are also on the small side).

JJ-AV: you make some very good points there. It would be a very 'Arry-esque bit of transfer dealing. But with Ireland, Warnock and Dunne all still based in the NW there is good potential for swap deals. I'm more tempted by the idea now.

Wonder if Le Gaffeur went to the Spurz - Milan game to watch anyone in particular ?

Hutton (who didn't play), Flamini or Seedorf, I reckon.

Can't see too many takers for Dunne at £60k per week

He's only 2 years left now though, he might see an offer of, say, 30k a week for 4 years with a 'loyalty bonus' off us as worth it. Especially if it allowed him to stay in the North West.

edit:

But with Ireland, Warnock and Dunne all still based in the NW there is good potential for swap deals.

Exactly my thinking.

The press seem to think corluka and hutton could both be available - either would do me, I'm sure corluka would see us a better bet than fulham,who are reportedly after him. Seems walker will be the chosen right back at spurs next season.

As for Cahill- id be delighted if we signed him, young still and comfortable on the ball, would be costly but him and Clark could form a solid defence for years to come.

Ireland and Bent surely too? Bet Friedel isn't far off either.

Don't rate Hutton. Corluka would be ok

Charlie Adam is on Goals on sunday now,

What a lovely chap, he has been really honest, but genuinally cares about Blackpool and leaving on a good note.
