Difficult to tell younger people about them these days as those figures don't seem so ridiculous. Comparably I guess it would be like Villa offering £150,000 a week as an opening offer.
I can only assume Edwards has picked up a knock or something. I hope this isn't Martin playing favourites again with Wood being one of his Swansea lads.
One of my favourite stories was from Seth Johnson, he said him and his agent went into negotiations thinking they'd fight tooth and nail to get £30,000 a week and Leeds' opening offer was £45,000 a week.
It would surprise me if we went from the pragmatic approach of not forcing the ball on him like we saw in the playoffs to suddenly treating him like Ederson.
Arguably worse? He played for Boro who finished 4th, Adams scored his 22 goals for Birmingham who finished 17th.
Only time will tell. I don't think he makes us stronger than we were last season however.
