So you want to sign Cleverley and give him wage Parity with benteke ! Do me a favour.

Surely Weimann isn't on the same wage as CB?

You think we should give him more?

Why not? You can't complain that we don't pay decent wages then complain when we actually do.

We won't be paying him anywhere near 70k a week, let's get real.

Cleverley is shite though. May aswell have kept Albrighton for free and given him the 30k a week he wanted. £8m and £40k a week on cleverley is beyond madness.

Beyond madness = Fairly normal fee and wages for a player like him.

Also, The Guardian say he's on 30K a week.  Only you seem to be assuming we'd offer him £10K a week more than that to take what is effectively a step down in his career.

I would want a lot, lot better for 8m and 70k a week. In fact if we are paying half of these figures for Cleverley then it's too much. He's not as good as Delph for a start.

The only way I'd take cleverley is on a free and pay him same as What we pay Herd. That's his level.

You should be in charge of all our negotiations.  They'd be lining up to play for us.

I think the fee is a bit high (if the figure is right that is) considering he's out of contact next year. As for the wages, if he takes a pay cut to come here, then great. Suggesting we pay a Man Utd player and England International what we pay Chris Herd is nonsense.

We should also make him clean all the bogs in the stadium after the game and live in a kennel at the training ground.

Just because he plays for Yanited and had an England cap means sweet FA.

In the real world, yes it does. He is also a considerably better player than Chris Herd.

that made me laugh, I myself wouldn't get out of bed for anything less than £50k a day, hell in a hand cart comes to mind.
