    Just as its early 30s and would be a relatively young age to retire in modern football.

    If his legs are letting him down now, then I'd worry what he will look like in 4 years time.

    Did I read correctly that he's on 50k a week?

    I'd not be surprised, well a little.
    I assumed he would be the top earner and on 40k, but I guess without paying a transfer fee and we got £25m before for him, giving him 50k isn't a mental thought (also considering the cash we constantly make, we do have spare cash to burn).

    Ideally our top 3 or 4 players should be on circa 40-50k a week, the next 3 or 4 on 25k-35k a week and work it down.
    Most other clubs we would like to compare ourselves to, financially and in European aspirations, will have a few players in these sort of ranges, but then it drops off to what we would consider more conservative.
    It's only us, that seems to (til KT) be stuck in a 20 year old wage structure.
