    You know mate, sometimes they are the worst, it's all about who you are beforehand. A dickhead is a dickhead, money won't change that.

    Yeah that might happen, but we might give him 50k a week only for him to have a Josy season then we're stuck with someone we can't shift on a massive wage.

    Suppose what I was pondering is How much is he worth in wages? If demands and offer are far apart at what wage is absolute top end for a risk player who's only managed to put a 10 game run together in three seasons? We can't take the chance in waiting till Jan to see if his form continues can we? We risk learning nothing from colback. That's why I'm saying there's chance he could be sold. I don't think he's proved he's worth 30k+ a week let alone 40 or 50. Hope the lad isn't going to be greedy or this could get quite messy.

    Don't get me wrong Tel, I love the bloke. But I can only say what I see. That bloke has been done more times than boy bitch doing porridge when it comes to transfer fees and contracts.

    Obviously understand his legendary status up there, but he was a footballer and football clubs aren't run by footballers, they're run by shrewd finance people nowadays. It's probably best that he left and his status wasn't tarnished with you lot. Great that he cares so much about your club, wish Sky would drop him from commentary duties though!

    He should take an ambassador role with us and go back to his horses which I understand he's very good at.

    So on the basis of, one ex British player is pissed on holiday, and one foreigh player is drinking water, then every british player is a drunken bum, and every foreign player is a healthy fitness freak?

    Now what is that had been Jordan Henderson? surely as he is a non drinker, your point is invalid.

    I was putting the question forward to you lads.. Of course there will be the professionals that stay away from drink, but I was talking about the ones that can't help them selves.

    Some one immediately posted a pic of wickham ordering 20k bottles of champeagne in Marbella, where he was just a few days ago, (a week before pre season)

    Adam Johnson, Kevin Nolan, lee cattermole, andy carrol.. 4 names just off the top of my head that are drinkers.

    Is it the British culture? Because you don't seem to see the foriegn lads getting involved in it.

    There will be the odd exception of course.

    Yeah and I'm sure he could get on the blower to Baz Rogerson who could give him a few tips if he's gone a bit rusty.

    Sure there must be some foreign players that like a pint or 3, especially the Scandanavians. Mind the French etc, probably just like to get wasted in a swanky restaraunt on git posh wine, but will probably have a higher class of totty next to him.

    I do think British players are more likely to embrace a drinking culture but they're so not alone.
