i think the negotiation is stalled until summer, because
1. we need to review other players' current contracts
2. we need to monitor the injury of toby
3. our wage budget is probably affected by the final position in the table

don't like the rumor of Pool being in for him.
More than any other incoming, retention is the key and Toby (for obvious reasons) is very high up the list

Our wages will not be dependent on league position.

Anyone else think we should do something similar to what the West Ham fans did?

Levy and the board need to know how we feel about Toby.

I love how the ratings system quite often manages to filter out users who don't understand certain types of humour.

I remember seeing an article about a month ago that showed the Premier League salaries and the highest paid CBs were from the Manchester Clubs and Chelsea and were on about £120K per week. If we were to put Toby on £150K per week that would be substantially above the highest CBs in the league and could potentially cause some clubhouse issues with the current highest earners in the club.

I would like to see a new contract for Harry first so we can bring up the rest of the major contributors pay packets but I do like the fact that we pay the most in bonuses in the league. Pay for performance is always helpful, just look at Sanchez for MU, he has been total crap since he went there and I really hate that these big four teams in the league are distorting the wage structure so much for the rest of the teams.

A team salary cap is needed some or every player is going to be like Rose and think they deserve astronomical wages. However, there are only four teams in the league that pay them.
