Without wishing to besmirch your friend's reputation, must be a case of crossed wires. I don't want to live in a world where Spearing earns 80K pw.

They did have Commoli negotiating contracts for a year remember. I think he once heard the phrase 'cheap at twice the price' and totally misinterpreted it.

Jay Spearing is on £20,000 which can go up to £25,000 if he hits certain targets.

Whoever said £85,000 is talking horse manure sorry.

We might have a ridiculous wage bill but not even were that bad.

After watching Allen during the tournament, one things for certain - he isn't capable of replacing Modric at all and 15m value is laughable.

Dembele is 5m cheaper, much better player.

How do you know he is £5m cheaper?

He's being linked with other clubs for 10m, whilst Allen is being linked with Liverpool for 15m. Of course this are prices being plucked out of thin air, just like the Modric to Chelsea for 20m last summer. :LOL:

He's a good player but e have players like him. Seems to me Rodgers is trying to establish the old Benitez Liverpool with Allen as passer-in-chief a-la Xabi Alonso.

Well said. I would be mad if we signed Allen! Not a player we want at Spurs. We are a top Club, or what?
