    Scott Jones: If Chelsea offered him £50k a week he'd move. He wants to be at a club that wins things rather than kidding themselves year after year that they're going to win everything and end up potless!

    Matt Martin: Unfortunately for him he's going to have to perform better than he has or else he won't even get what he was offered by Liverpool in the summer let alone any other big club. Blatantly doesn't want to be at the club money or not.

    Sean Paul Wilkinson: The boy doesn't know how Lucky he is, playing for Liverpool is the stuff of dreams. BR has developed him into a potential star, but he's not the finished article, he has yet to win a major honour. Definitely not worth 180k per week.
