Now that is just completely nothing to do with an 18 year old that hasn’t played 30 games yet!? Of course we’d pay that for those players.
4 years too late ??

He may or may not be the best thing since sliced bread. However, not too many of our current players are on 100k and above (Kane, Sonny, Ndom, Hugo, maybe Romero). So question is how the rest of the squad reacts if we make an 18-year old kid (who for the time being is basically all potential) one of our top earners?

Yes but what decent striker is going to come and sit on the bench behind kane and son? Yes son isn't a striker but he scores goals through the middle, so if any new striker doesn't score for a coulle of games the pressure would be on to play son there.
There's a reason that we haven't been able to get a top level back up striker! It's not been for the lack of trying as we've had the lad from the Dutch league, vinicius and llorente. Unless we get a youngster come through, that is the best that we can attract while kane is still here.

Apparently it doesn’t matter!!? ??
Until he signs and it pisses 70% of the players off. Then we can have another internal revolt where we lose the team empathy.punkisback

The instant we buy him and next year the market settles he is already worth 50mil, without doing anything. He is that good. It’s only his length of contract and Barca being skint that makes him so cheap.

I thought your original point was simply regarding teenagers earning £100k+ I'm just trying to show its not as black and white as that and use an alternative perspective to make my point the fact they're more experienced actually supports the point I was trying to make rather than detracts from it which was; if you're good enough you're old enough which Bellingham and Foden are.

Bollocks is it shortsighted, I want to watch the team and I want to see the best players possible playing for my team and I'm not going to make like an accountant who has no understanding of investment. There may be outrageous examples like paying half a million a week for a 36 year old but not slightly above average premier League wage for an 18 year old who by all accounts is quality.
None of which matters though because it's not my job to bother about it.

But you’re naming 2 players that play in the cl and for their country. For every “next ronaldo “ are team meant to shell out 100k a week? Seems bonkers deal for me. Rather mkennie personally. Would be a starter also.

Slightly above wage for an 18 year old lol. Are you being serious? Maybe you have been reading that shit over on blue moon too much.

No idea why but I have a funny feeling we won’t get him. We don’t tend to mix well with the ‘nightmare behind the scenes’ agents, and while I recognise we have new leadership (of a sort), I doubt the approach has changed so dramatically.
Let’s hope we get it over the line, but it sounds like there’s so much baggage that if we don’t, it won’t be the end of the world

I think my point was either poorly made or lost......again, you're giving reasons why it is justified to pay those 2 teenagers £100k+. That is literally my point.

Are we not allowed to look at the here and now rather than years down the line? Everyone wants immediate impact but also bring up trouble shifting them.in a few years. For once I'd like to focus on now. This season.
Oh and Sissoko went on Friday. Oh and it's Ndombele not N'dombele.

Unlike Llorente/Janssen/Vinicius, Ings could play all across the front three. So would not have been a bench warmer IMO.
I can understand though why the club was reluctant to give him a massive contract due to his age and injury history.
But I digress. Back to Moriba - I strongly doubt that the club would make him one of our top earners from day one.
Foden is on big wages too, but not compared to the top earners at Citeh.

If the ? is for Kermit that must mean that ? is for this guy?!I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but ? is sometimes a reference to this meme:
But That's None of My Business
"But That's None of My Business" is a sarcastic expression used as a postscript to an insult or disrespectful remark said towards a specific individual or group. The phrase was popularized through an image macro series featuring Kermit the Frog from The Muppets and punchlines poking fun at a...knowyourmeme.com
Maybe he’s plucking his big red twanger?

The wages talked about are a concern for such young players, but as with everything these days football related you either pay the going rate or lose out on the best young players.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
We could have had grealish a few seasons ago if we paid a few million more, now he's gone for £100m.
Fact is we have people like Paratici to not only know the best youth prospects out there but also negotiate the price and wages.
If the wages are huge its not because Paratici is a chump, its because he realises the price of losing such a huge talent.
