Either way, I can gurantee its not £4500 and can gurantee its less than £3k/week. In fact, I can go further and say he isn't even the top paid player at Boston Utd this season.


I dont know to much about the JJ issue, i know someone at work told me he was on 8 grand a week the day he signed, which i laughed at, and said, if he is the good luck to them, cos that is silly money. Then i heard it was 3 grand a week which sounds more like it.

But wasn't it something to do with boston paying some of his contract at leeds? i thought that was the stumbling block for us before boston got involved. i hear what has been said about it being his hometown, but i was sure boston came up with some cash towards what leeds owed him. But... i may be wrong so dont shoot me.

Oh and never joke about relegation, it can always become a possibility, jus think back to last season., oh and the season before that come to think of it.

Leeds have denied that his contract was paid off. Just have to face facts, he went there because he preferred it.

Fair play, like i said, it was only what i heard. I really wanted him to sign, like every other walsall fan. But in truth, how many games would he of played ? he is very injury prone. I guess thats football, the fact we where genuinely looking to bring that calibre of player in is reason for optimism

His injury record (played 63 games in the last 4 years) is what was putting me off.

I sincerely wish JJ well. If he does get injured, and is consequently unavailable for a lengthy period, we may well be well out of it. This is why he would fit in better in a larger squad, where quality can be replaced with quality, on similar salaries etc. Must be the same risk at Boston, as well. Better to spread our resources a bit more thinly. Hope for transfer news soon. I'm not getting jittery yet, but the clock is ticking.
