Of course I'm happy we seem to be prepared to pay big wages again, I'd just prefer it if we offered that sort of money to players who don't spend most of the time on the treatment table.It's no different to paying say £4m and giving him 35K a week. Would you view the deal differently if that was the break down of his contract?

Is there anything you couldn't see the black side of?
£65k a week would be an awful lot for Micah Richards, have to say. He's worth a shot, as a signing, and gives us a little more speed in defence. However, he didn't exactly cause a storm at Fiorentina, so premium wages would hardly make much business sense to me.
