Totally agree. He can't get a game for Swansea who I think we should be competing with in the league.
It's a very strange situation this one.

He can't get a game because he doesn't really fit in Laudrup's plans. Let's not forget he scored 14 goals last season though and has 9 to his name this year having not played regularly.

if QPR go down...look out for them to be the next one to fold...

that is just simply stupid money....
They are proper fooked if they go down with those wages, especially if the owner decides he has had enough of that train set. How many years is his contract for? £12.5 million and 100k a week is crazy for a half decent player.

Laudrup has got Swansea playing much better and effective football this season so that does make sense. However he will only be backup at sunderland aswell as Oniell likes to play 1 up front and Fletcher has been superb.

If he does sign then ill support him as long as he gives 110% and doesn't do a Lee Clark or Michael Chopra hehe

You'd hope the contracts were contingent on the club being in the Premier League?

One thing Graham is never guilty of is not giving his all for the team. But, yes. Never going to get ahead of Fletcher.

Why he would want to go and sit on someone else's bench in Jan when he could stay with us until the end of the season with a good chance of getting a cup medal is anyones guess!

QPR fans will argue that Tony Fernandes has plenty of money to keep the club running should the worst happen. Saying that, I'm almost positive he said in an interview this week that he will be the first to leave should the club not achieve a reasonable finish.

I pretty sure he meant he'd shoulder the blame should QPR fall short, but it's a worry when 'the money' talks about leaving the club....

Weren't Arsenal in for him before he moved to Russia? A year later and he's at bottom of the Prem QPR. "How to successful waste a career while getting a little bit richer" 101.

So you wouldn’t move job for more money?

Good for him, if QPR are stupid enough to pay it, why the fk should he turn it down?

Top flight football is a joke.

Sky is pumping that much money into the game. At what point do the fans say 'fk it' I'm watching it in the pub?
The fans in the ground don't add to Sky coffers though? If they all went to the pub then thats great news for Sky.

Landlords would be over the moon with the additional income, so Sky will get away with charging them even more for a license and thus Sky will have more money to pump back into Premier League clubs....

Or am I missing summit?

Really the question should be:- At what point do the fans say 'fk it' I'm cancelling my Sky subscription?

I've turned down a job for more money...because it was in Saudi. What they earn in a week would take me a while to earn so I don't understand why a footballer wouldn't balance up life/ambition alongside money.

At Arsenal he could have formed the backbone of a defensive partnership and potentially helped them compete for silverwear (no laughing at the back). Less than a year later he's at the bottom of the table club with no chance of getting near the standard of Arsenal for the next 5 years.

Since I've become accustomed to having Skysports HD, I couldn't imagine not having it now. Free streams are preferable to £10 a month for ESPN but not to SS1 and 2.

Well I never thought I'd see the day, but finally, proof that not all footballers are just motivated by greed

David Beckham has signed a 5 month deal with Paris Saint- Germain... So what you might say

He's agreed to donate his entire salary to a children's home!!

About half hour or so, they're just waiting for the last coat to dry.
