A good sign that were not in for lazy signings on huge wages like Wilson.
Why would Wilson be on huge wages?
Because he’s out of contract so would expect the usual transfer fee to be bolstered into his wages.
That doesn't mean his wages would be huge by our standards. Those (reliability uncertain) sites put him at about £55k per week, which wouldn't put him in our top twenty earners.
So he will undoubtedly be expecting a big jump on that, but "huge wages" relative to what he's currently being paid puts him at the sort of level we pay our squad players.
You would also think that
if we were interested, our more attractive footballing offer might mean that we'd probably get away with paying him less than Leeds or Fulham might.
