Royal With Cheese How much do you think Doyler's getting paid? He must be on somewhere between 15-25k a week? Ten times that would make him better paid than Ronaldo and Ballack. To sit on a bench? Probably a slight overestimation.
I'm wondering exactly how much money there will be now the credit crunch is starting to hit home? Here's hoping there's none around!
Rumoured to be considerably more than that.
Getting Doyle to sign a new contract was a cracking bit of business by the club. How many top-flight clubs would be willing/desperate enough/have the finances/need a striker, in January, to pay a fee of probably £10m, wages approaching £50k+ a week, plus all the extras, to make him – and the club – even consider it. Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa tick most of the boxes, and are probably the most likely suitors. If one of those came in, I think we’d struggle to hold on to him. Anyone else, and I’m positive he’ll be here come May.
