We’re never going to compare with Fulham’s billionaire owners but if the right player comes along, I’m sure we would t be oppose to paying those weekly wages.
50k feels a lot, but as KKC and co always say, it’s about the total cost of the transfer.
A 4 year deal for Robinson on £50k/wk, plus a £1.5m transfer fee is £12m... and this is for a player who was valued at £10m prior to their relegation.
The lad from Genk is being linked at £6m... so would have to earn less than £25k/wk...

*Yes, I know he's a Dingle.
Morsy a good player but not particularly mobile as IMO. Williams did the running for him.
We do need a ball winner in the middle bit think we need a bit more energy.
