That salary is from 2015 when he arrived from Caen.

I think he's on 50k now

Well, that would make more sense!

That would mean it would need to be £80k plus heavy bonuses I guess. Still in the realms of possibility.

Come on Dan, slap down €45m, let's swap Walker for him (essentially).

Just like how Saints were selling their players to Liverpool and when we were arrived late for Scheneiderlin, we were promptly rejected..

Unless we're gonna pay whatever inflated fee Monaco are demanding this deal won't be closed quickly. Whereas teams like Man City/Chelsea get a lot of deals done fast as they just pay whatever fee and wages are asked for. We obviously are not in a position to do that

Yes we all know that's the mantra but if it drags on I can't see it getting done. Monaco's boutique shopping, we like to haggle car boot style. If we're serious about him I think we've just gotta get the deal done or move on to the next target rather than drag it out until they've sold 4 or 5. I don't think waiting and negotiating and renegotiating's gonna work with them. The itk we've had so far has been encouraging though

Because having Matic, Kante and Fabregas, and having Loftus Cheek and Chalobah in the academy for the 2 CM positions isn't enough, absolute joke of a club

Also Baker, why any youth player would ever under any circumstances sign up with then is a complete mystery to me. Yeah I'm sure the money is great for an academy, but at this point it can't be considered anything other than a major hindrance to one's career.

You don't know who features in Conte's future plans. Matic and Fabregas may be off for a start.

Monaco will sell anyone, if the price is met.

Often it's because hard up parents push them to sign for up front signing on money with the promise of £10-20k per week contracts thereafter.

It won't be closed at all unless we're willing to do that. If we want to get the player then two things need to happen: we need to act soon, and we need to pay what is required.
