Very true. BUT The Barnsley manager was interviewed stating they'd offered 75% of his wages, and Saints had turned it down. Therefore, considering 5 clubs had made offers for him, i'm assuming we'd be looking at the best part of 17/18k a week. Otherwise they can just accept Barnsleys 75% offer.
You realise Billy Sharp (who you also mention), is on £25k a week, and Southampton are yet to let him go on loan because wants to pay 100% of that?
You realise that the reason Vaz Te didn't go to Norwich was because he wanted a PAY RISE?
You realise that Bechio was named in Norwich's 25 man...
