The Ipswich offer featured a substantial pay cut (my understanding is to circa 4K pw)... on the basis of "that is what he is worth..."

Rasiak and Skacel will not move for pay cuts & will sit out their contracts if need be - unless we come up with some kind of "pay off" scheme (although given our recent "cash now" decisions wrt Bale and Walcott I would assume this is unlikely. This is the case, so we ought to find ways to use them whilst we have them. I believe they are both on (total package) circa £15K pw. Which makes offloading to CC teams problematic.
