James Collins

I agree that Collins would be very expensive, but i fell it is worth nothing that in a matter of days time, Collins wage won't be £35,000 p/w - it will be £0 per week.

I accept that his current deal is due to expire, so you're right that he may struggle to get a a better deal than his previous one.

However, It's fair to say that there will be competition, especially in the championship, he will be able to command a respectable salary. (I'm assuming upwards of £25000, not hard to believe when John Terry is getting over double that.)

Rumors up here are that Gerrard wants him at Rangers.

I rate Collins so obviously want him nowhere near there.

I think with how we line up and the style we play, A very experienced CB would be very welcome a Collins or Jagielka type would do a great job. we paid near £1m Stearman who is also on £15k? costing us in theory £34,000 pw. Would someone like Collins really be pulling more than that at 34?
