So you're blatantly spot on (if those figures are true) and £300k p/w is a ridiculous request/thought.
Thanks for that info. What I expected really. People get far too carried away with wages. It's only man city and maybe man u on occasion that pay silly money.
Fact is Toby was a flop (ish) in his move to athletico, where pretty much the whole site here thought he was crap at Ajax when linked. He signed a fair deal at the time I believe around 40-50k. He was offered 150k which I believe is very fair. He didn't want it so we are where we are. I think the 150k stayed on the table and being honest I just don't see him getting that anywhere else. Even real and barca don't play their players that much. I remember this same talk when Danny rose was being linked away and it was found that Danny was on on exactly the same wage as marcelo at real and alonso at Chelsea already at that time. I'm not a bean counter but paying Toby 300k a week would be dumb stupid. He won't get ut anywhere.
