Who's the striker ?

[Eric The Blue]

Fortunately we couldn"t afford his wages/he wouldn"t accept the wages we would be willing to pay

I never understand why people say this about players who are out of contract. He was supposedly on £80k a week at West Ham but he's currently unemployed. Wherever he plays this season, hopefully not Cardiff, he'll be on a lot less.

If a player thinks he can earn 50k, he won't take a contract on 20k because that will make it less likely he'll get back to the 50k mark in the future. That's why some players are free agents for longer than you expect. We 100% won't be able to afford Carroll's wage demands either, nor would he want to come here.

They also know that clubs get desperate when the transfer window is about to shut.
