Would love him back, but on £120k a week at Chelsea. No way we would cover that, but other teams would prob end up at West ham

Chelski would subsidise a lot of his wage no doubt..

He will be on 60-70k a week at least surely? (just read the fella say above he's on 120k :shock: )

We won't be able to compete with the likes of Leicester, West Ham, Southampton, Newcatle etc who will probably try and sign him.

I don't think we did send him back did we? I thought Utd recalled him as they were unhappy he wasn't playing then they loaned him straight to Watford.

Drinkwater definitely asked to go back as he wasnt happy being played out of position by Jones. Despite that I don't think we have the money for his wages and I'm sure teams with far bigger profiles than us will be interested in a Premier league champion and England international.

While his time with us was short anyone who was at the Pompey away game saw him give a masterclass in the middle of the park. And then Jones started playing him on the left : /

If the idiots down west were paying 100 grand a week for bony I am sure Drinkwater would be on at lest 120 grand a week at Chelsea

Yeah big wages. That England call up went to his head (or his agents!) and he became a big time charlie. Should have stayed at leicester but you cant blame players for optimising their earning power.....its a hell of a short career with lots of risk. Id love to see him play for us, terrific passer, but cant help thinking he might not fit into NWs vision for us - a direct and counter attacking team. Cant see us being interested on this basis.
