    I'm surprised that we haven't signed him on a free, right footed left back.

    Well I'm surprised nobody else has signed him to be fair.

    Maybe because he was supposedly on £65,000 a week at Manchester United

    It’s probably because he was on £80’000 a week at Man Utd… :)

    Well, if Crawley can spend 2.3billion Tanzanian shillings on a player, why aren't we spending £1m/week on wages for a player?

    We could never have signed him. Wouldn't fit in with our wage structure. Was on circa £135k a week at United. More than our squad combined.

    Probably to do with the £155k per week he was on at Man Utd.

    He was on a hundred weight of moon rocks, a gallon of angel's tears, and a pocket full of unicorns' horns at Man Utd so there's no chance we could afford him.

    40k (rising to 60k)

    That's insane money for someone who only the equivalent of 36 games of Premiership football over the course of 4 years, with 23 of those being for Norwich. Football is just completely bent.

    Edit: After tax that's roughly £1m for 4 years barring any fancy accounting for the equivalent of 51 full games (at all levels) of football from the start of the contract.

    If you allow for 4 hours training a day, 5 days a week and add in the game time he was on roughly £115 per hour for those 4 years.

    The wages academy players get at the big clubs now is obscene. Remember Claudio Gomes who we had from City a few years ago? It was rumoured at the time that City were paying him something ridiculous like £30k a week. He left City having played 3 competitive games for them, none in the Premier League.

    Football really is broken.

    It’s probably the £355k demand pricing he was on a week at Man Utd.

    Turned down being Man Utd's highest earner on £375K a week according to someone ITK.
