Great stuff

Yes I'm sure had Rotherham offered even more he'd have gone there

All this bollocks over an Ex Spurs RESERVE player, worth a punt for the money we were offering but going in at the level Norwich did is quite funny tbh.

Not seen such Bravery!
He may well have. He clearly loves his cash more than keeping to his agreements.

What the hell is there to gloat about? Just pointing out as have many Brighton fans tbf, that Norwich are a more attractive proposition to players than Brighton at the present time with many players experienced at getting promoted
Anyway toodle pip!

I see you more as a Wigan or Fulham. Didn't you go straight through the Championship last time you got relegated?

40 or 50 people having a moan on NSC qualifies as a "meltdown" now does it?

No bounced straight back up - did go straight up from league 1 before that
Must have been the time before then.

So rumour has it, he was offered £10k more per week, or £500k per year. To all of us, that's a huge amount.
Guessing we offered approx £20k per week, he will now be earning £6m over 4 years, as apposed to £4m. Once you're a multi-millionaire, is a couple more million going to make much difference?
In his situation I think I'd rather go somewhere where I was going to play regularly.
Spurs obviously don't want him, and West Brom, dull as they are, didn't want him in their team. Would love to see him struggle this year.

As a player you've got to follow the money, 99.99% would have done the same as this lad in similar circumstances.
What happened to 'toodlepip' a few posts ago ? Still posting, and still on a rival forum.......
It's all very simple, you offered him more money, and like the vast majority of professional people in any walk of life (maybe) he was prepared to compromise any other aspects of the deal to line his pockets more deeply. Fair play to him.
Don't let the door hit your arse as you leave. Byeeeeee.

Yup Bye bye not at all bothered. We have 3 better players I would be far more concerned about losing.

In a way yes I agree. For most 30k pa compared to 20k is a big difference. Same to an extent is 300k over 200k. When you're at 1.5m to 1m bearing in mind you are losing over half of that extra in tax and NI, how much does that extra really change your life compared to lower down the scale. It's not like you will be limited in what house/cars you can buy and where you can holiday. If he genuinely thinks he will get as much game time there as here and they are a much better bet to go up fair enough, but I think we all know different

If it goes tits up at Norwich, he'll just join another team. Contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. These boys can't lose.
