Fair point BPF. Stick to 16k per week then. Both he and the club seem better off to me though maybe I'm missing something.

Don't forget to deduct whatever signing on bonus he gets, should he move.

I have to echo some comments made on here about the wages we pay. If Zurab really is on 30K, just imagine what the "Waterboy" is on???

Andrews got a payrise for "proving" himself. He's a very limited player, just happy to be in the PL, why bother? If he doesn't like his deal, ask him what other PL club would have him on their books. We always hear how the wage bill is suffocating our transfer funds, and it's due to ridiculous moves like this. We need someone cut-throat in contract negotiations, because JW is looking like a soft touch.

Why?

Because the media kept saying they were in a deep financial crisis, they need to sell Torres and Gerrard to go on, etc. - and here they are, after such a horrible season for them, signing one of England's few good players, when a lot of even bigger clubs wanted him.

While for us - JW promises we have a few million to spend, that the financial situation is finally looking good...and now not only are we unable to sign anyone, we have to sell Jason Roberts so we can buy Beattie or Benjani. It's like no matter what we achieve, and no matter how hard the opposition fails, they will always have a huge advantage.

Let's see who leaves Liverpool first. I've got a feeling this could be a move to try prevent outrage when either Gerrard or Torres leave.

"May be willing to structure a loan"? I say, that's jolly decent of them. "Willing" to take one of our best young prospects off of us?

GET LOST, HARRY :angry2:

That nasty Argentinian fella will be the 1st, then perhaps Babel + a few other dodgy foreigners that Rafa signed - Insua & Plesis or whatever they are called...

It does look that way doesn't it.

Can you imagine we could in all seriousness be paying almost 2.5-3million a year to both Zurab & Keith. I know if I was him and knew Zurab was on that I'd demand similar.

All they're doing is regurgitating the story in the Sunday People. I don't know why people are getting their knickers in a twist. Jones is a promising young defender tied down to a long-term deal. We have no reason to sell, he has no reason to leave. If Tottenham want him, they're gonna have to dig deep.

Rumour they have offered 7m for Jones. Think it's a load of rubbish

smalling was 14m and looks very shaky...........therefore 14m is the minimum acceptable..........similar age, similar experience from mid table clubs. Benchmark has been set by united so spuds can ##### off until they get real. I so hope they crash and burn in champions league qualifying horrible club horrible manager.

It seems perfectly logical that Spurs are after him. They have people above Redknapp who look to hoover up young English talent with resale value. I don't think this will be 'Arry's, choice, it will be an 'investment' opportunity to those higher up.

I don't think they've got a chance of getting him though. The idea of saying we can loan him for 12 months sounds ridiculous, as if we'd continue to 'risk' an 18 year old at centre half when there is no reward.

Or as a replacement for King and Woodgate.

£14 million?!

I'm a big fan of Jones don't get me wrong but I'd bite their hands off for £14m.

He looked fantastic in those last few games but it was only a few games. Granted if his career progresses onwards and upwards we could get £15m + for him but there's a long way to go for that to happen. Something in the region of £8-9m would really have me thinking.

Smalling was £8m, not £14m (though I don't know about appearance clauses etc). Using your logic Chris Samba cost £500k, so we should be thinking about selling Jones for about the same?

Since when did logic apply to football.

Personally I'd keep him until he gets into the U21's regularly, at least, then see where he is at.
