No I don't think he will be offered £200k a week and I didn't say that.
"go to another Premier League team, probably on 10 times his wages".
If he's on £20K/week with us you did.

I'm sorry, can you tell me where I put that about £20k. I didn't think I had said that and clearly this has upset you
Anyone else feeling they are 'going off' Lunny with this contract unsigned?
If Fleck signed under the current wage structure, a player 10x more instrumental and important than Lunny, then what is keeping Lunny?
I do hope this 'Lord Lundstram' joke after the FPL got his position wrong hasn't somehow gone to his head and he thinks he's the absolute shit for some reason or other.
He's a decent player in the squad. He has admirably worked on his fitness and up to around game 20 had exceeded everyone's expectations of him.
His form has dropped a little since then. And yesterday's performance lacked, if not the work ethic, then the level of focus a player of his ability needs to be showing.
We don't do big time here, so if you're going to stay then stay and knuckle down. If not, then don't irritate the fanbase by asking for ludicrous amounts when you're looking for a transfer.
Are there any other types?Duffy was an awkward bolshi scouser and I get the impression Lunny is a bit that way too. Hope JOC isn’t too. What we don’t know about the wage structure is whether the figures in the newspapers include bonuses. I am sure the players got a big bonus for winning promotion and will also be on a bonus for staying in the PL and finishing higher up than 17th.
Not upset at all, you didn't quote a salary just that he'd get 10x more but even if he's on £10K/week with us he'd be leaving for £100K/week in your world.
Like I said, really?

Am I the only one who is still a fan of Lundstram? He improved us against Bournemouth when he came on and scored the winner. Yesterday, I thought the first half he was OK, his performance worsened in the second half. He wasn't the only one though.
I just think it was one of them games last night. We made several changes in key positions and we were managing fine and controlling the game until they scored that penalty. Then they got their mad up and it was hard work even though they weren’t much of a goal threat. Credit to them btw: I thought it was a very good effort by them and they deserved to take it to extra time.Am I the only one who is still a fan of Lundstram?

Oh, you did mean it literally.My assumption is that Lundstram would be on much less than 10k a week. 5k maximum, but even then I would expect it be less given that he was League One when we signed him and wasn't brought in to be an immediate starter.

If he said ‘it’s pissing it down outside’ would you go out, collect a glass of rain and check to see if it’s urine? Or would you accept it’s a figure of speech and not meant to be taken literally?
Agree with this....I reckon Lunny is one of the lowest paid players at the club....let’s say £8K a week.
Would guess that we see him as a back up player and have offered £15K to £20K a week basic with performance bonuses.
His agent is telling SU that an average PL is paid £50K a week....so we need to be offering close to that figure.
United probably aren’t sure if Lunny is actually PL quality......so don’t want to over pay.
Suspect Lunny’s agent is telling his stock is high and he can easily get £50K joining another PL on a free.
Lets not forget that Lunny wont have made much money from the game because he’s been a lower league player.
The chance of £50K a week over 4 years must be seriously tempting.
If he’s interested in the football he can double his wage and sign for us. If he’s interested in the money then it would be tempting to cash in whilst his reputation is reasonably good. It’s his choice and I don't blame anyone for wanting to be a millionaire.
Maybe just read the thread?But was it a figure of speech or was it someones view seen as a fact?

If that’s true, if his agent didn’t negotiate a decent promotion pay rise in his contract and is now telling him he can get him £50k a week then his agent needs to provide him with a concrete offer. Although if I was playing in the PL and only earning £8k a week I’d have sacked my agent already.Agree with this....I reckon Lunny is one of the lowest paid players at the club....let’s say £8K a week.

I don’t disagree and if that’s his choice then goodbye and good luck to him. But what we won’t be doing is pandering to his demands to stay simply because he’s an average player and we won’t be breaking our wage structure to keep him.Agree with this....I reckon Lunny is one of the lowest paid players at the club....let’s say £8K a week.
