Perch to Wigan for £700k

Already been explained hasn't it? We won't give bigger money contracts to players in their late 20s or 30s whose best years are behind them.

 

This time next year he'll be 28 and walking on a free. We could pay him a million in wages and forego a £700k tranfer fee, but that's a lot of money for the 20 appearances he might make, tops.

 

People really value Perch at £100k a game?

Well yeah that's how its been up to now, but there are signs it could be changing..if we sign Bent it by no means puts what's gone on in the last 3 years to bed but it will be a distinct change of tack. We'll see.
