Sad is looking at posts from people you say you have blocked. Why block people of you have to look at what they are saying or doing?

You've already shown you're looking at Parks posts. Quite funny really.

Common sense, there is zero chance Doug or anyone at the club has sanctioned 30k a week for a young CB. Just not happening. Especially when we were quibbling over paying north of 20k per week for established championship attackers.

That figure was based off some dodgy internet site and probably just accounts for average Serie A being ~1.5 m euros a year. But Binks was only really a youth prospect, so I highly doubt he was on anywhere near that

Binks is nowhere near 30 grand a week wheres that came from

The blokes not even on 20

I've had it on good authority that he's the highest paid player in the squad.

I'm not sure if the exact figure is £30k, that's what's been reported.
But he is on more than Wright and simms, so the figure isn't wildly out.

He was expected to develop into a top quality centre half, and end up in the Premier league for a significant profit. (The next John Terry apparently )
That could still happen of course, but it's not going quite to plan so far.

I can tell you 10000% Binks is nowhere near th highest paid player in the squad

Not even close

Our highest earner is Haji on 25k a week

The total wage bill in the last published accounts in total was £18.5m. Binks is not paid £1.5m per year.

Part of why I stick up for the bloke on here. Without Godden we don't get out of L1

Not because he paid to change my holiday dates. Sorted that out with a quick wank

Be careful. You'll suffer the heartbreak of getting blocked if you're not careful by David for questioning his insanity.

Reckon he’ll pay for my food shop next week if the Grimes transfer doesn’t work out? Need something to look forward to.

Blackburn came back with an improved offer for BTA yesterday. Evidently around the fee we paid in the summer

Wouldn't be surprised at all of hes the one that makes way to finance the majority of Grimes

For me he is in the top 5 midfielders in this league

In no particular order

Presumably he will sit it out on Saturday whether he has or has not been formally signed.

Well, he’s statistically very good in this league yes.

He’s not an exciting midfielder if you get me? But he’s very good at keeping possession, dictating tempo and doing the simple stuff very well; basically what Allen has been doing last few games. Would give opportunity for Torp and Rudoni to play a less disciplined game I imagine.

He's good, he isn't going to run around diving into tackles but he'll make us a much more coherent attacking team with how he can progress play from deep.

He'll also allow us to go forward quicker than Allen, there has been one or two times Allen has taken the safe 5 yard pass when a longer ball could have been one. Grimes if he signs will play that pass.

I hope so. I think he’ll complement what we already have really well and allow our attacking talent to flourish. Hope it works out!
