I'm begging people not to start another fucking quotathon with the eastie/bert 'he said,she said' nonsense, it's bloody annoying when you're reading on a phone.

Just realised, we're living in the future now.

Huddlestone is just a bigger, more injury prone version of Barry Bannan. And for that reason, he's worth signing just to stand still in our penalty box while defending corners.

A vast improvement.

The thing is, would Phil Neville and Tom Huddlestone accept £30k a week?

So you think we will be looking for overseas or lower league again?

No i dont think so, we may go higher for the right player i would hope but id imagine most of the summer signings would be around the £30k mark at best .
Any idea what sort of wage hutton and warnock were on ?

I think players from holland , belgium , would be on lower wages than established premier players.

Unproven at premier level if thats the case, i dont think we can afford to wait for players to settle - would prefer premier experience , danny murphy kind of player.

I wish we would just sign someone shit on loan to put an end to the circular conversations on this thread.
