The problem will be.
We offer him £4,000, the same as the other regular centre backs.
His agent will say he just wants to feel wanted
And we should give him £12,000 a week.
We'll make a final offer of £5,000 a week and say he's has job satisfaction at SU.
His agent will say they can easily play the waiting game as they are confident a championship club will come in and offer close to £10,000.
What should United do?
Break the budget and risk another Brayford/ Hammond situation?
I suspect the whole deal will rest on whether we get promoted or not.
If we reman in league 1 I doubt EEL will want to commit unless we offer massive wages.
Also there's the possibility of Wolves giving him a 1 year extension so I suppose we would need to pay them a transfer figure which effects the wages available to pay EEL.
