No way he will go with that His current contract is 40k week basic with 20k game fee, so normally 60k week. We offered 80k - he wants more 20k week increase, over £1 million a year pay-rise! Like WTF - what 'sane' person wouldn't snap that up!!! If he's too stupid to see the benefit and to be in a team challenging for trophies, then perhaps he ain't CFC material after all. That's not me on my high horse - just flabbergasted at some people's greed and idiocy, on top of the £1 million per year, he's also getting £2 million cash from Newcastle and no doubt a decent signing on bonus and millions in fees to his 'agents/family' - now if that ain't taking the piss don't know what is? Also, we need to remember, every professional player is insured, if he's uninsurable, then it's a massive, massive risk. As somebody else said this guy is one tackle away from a wheelchair... Can anyone hand on heart honestly say that isn't a possibility with Chelsea's history of strikers :(
