[Hoops]

80 large a week!

Surely not??

[iheartwegerle]

Can't see it being that much, and actually hope it isn't.

TF said on Talksport this afternoon that we have a wage structure and we are going to do things sensibly.

I'd love Barton to come, but not on that money.

[Hoops]

£7m for Parker?!

I need to lie down.

[kron-1664]

80 k , no chance, 60 k - yes as its a free For example, if you work out you save 5 mil in getting him free, his wages are actually 38 k a week . 80 k a week , see you later!

[iheartwegerle]

£7m for Parker?!

You sure? Where d'you here that Hoops?

[DelTrotter]

If thats what he wants, let him have it. Would rather Barton on a free and 80k a week than parker for £7 million and 60k a week. Highly doubt that he's going to get 80k a week though.

[Hoops]

I would be amazed if Rangers were willing to pay that sort of money. Probably bullsh1t.

Exactly, there's a logic to that as he'd be free, which also give the club an angle for any other potential signing trying to blag any parity wage.

[HammersmithR]

I hope not! We'd end up in admin like last time!

At the top of the article.

Joey Barton was in talks with Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday night after he was offered an astonishing £80,000-a-week three-year deal by the newly-promoted Premier League club who are also set to submit an improved £7 million offer for another midfielder, Scott Parker, this week.

[Ellerslie]

No way are we going to last long spending that sort of money.

£60,000 banded about earlier seems more sensible but still hard to believe.

[qpr]

I wouldn't turn it down. Tony Fernandes has already said he's at QPR to get profit so in Tony we trust!

[qprbrisbanedivision]

personally i hate the guy with a passion...but...he IS exactly what we want right now.....a t**s*r with attitude....hope he doesnt sign really!!

[scaz_QPR]

goal.com say £40,000 a week!! sounds about right...
