I don’t get this statement when it frequently pops up. We pay most first-team players between 40 and 50 grand a week now, Dunk is on 60 grand a week.
Why does this get touted whenever a player is out of contract. He'll be on earning nothing come August. He's also the wrong side of 30, with a dodgy hamstrings, he'll be taking a big wage cut compared to his current Liverpool contract wherever he ends up.
I'd be delighted to sign him but have the niggling fear he'd end up another Paul Kitson or Jason Dodd.
Because palace, West Ham and depending on results Villa will happily pay him twice as much.
