We have followed the herd if that's really true.

The Times who broke the news (also did for RLC) said £100K/week while BBC and Matt Law from the Telegraph report the same. All more than reliable sources.  

Just a case of Sky Sports being late to the scoop and have to get the clicks somehow. Nothing to see there.

Who knows. I would imagine it is more than £100k p/w though since that is what was offer in January and he has more importance now but £180k p/w does seem extreme. Listening to transfer centre now, they said it could rise to £200k p/w with bonuses.

SKY Sports struggling to get the day and date right never mind his salary.

Fucking great news this.

You don't go from £100k being offered for quite some time to a sudden breakthrough. It really isn't difficult to worth out what has changed.

If you want to keep on insisting it's all about the money, then sure...

I'm pleased he's signed but if he was angling for a move to Bayern and he performs badly then he's not going to come out of this well. Young kid demands more money and playing time and doesn't fulfill his potential he's not the first and won't be the last. He looked good in the Europa League and it's got to be said not brilliantly in the Premier League.

[robsblubot 3,504]

Has he signed? BBC says that, “he’s set to  sign a new contract before the start of the season.” Dunno if it’s just poorly written, or bad info, but I don’t read that he has signed.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

100k or 180k a week for someone whos not played 50 pro games for me is a disgrace. At those figures he has to deliver something this season. Rumours he wants to discuss his shirt number before signing new deal too. What has football come to.

Well that’s the result of going into a negotiation not only without any leverage, but also with a hint of desperation.

More fun than dealing with conspiracists.  

[Hutcho 8,443]

Gotta look at it this way...

Yeah he only has 50 appearances but has had some of the most impressive performances I've ever seen from an 18 year old.

Bayern (who don't exactly pay extortionate amounts generally for players) were offering 35 mil for an 18 year old with 1 year left on his deal which should tell you all you need to know.

Plus you've got the inherent value of due to his age if he progresses as expected and leaves he'll be sold for shit tons.

At the end of the day. Footballers are all paid stupid amounts of money. 100k or whatever is ridiculous but its the way of the world. Add into that he's one of our most promising youngsters we have a transfer ban and only 3 other wingers it seems about right
