Eastmond on Long's wage?

Funny if it's true.

He`s asked for it, not got it yet, but i think he will.

I think this story's rubbish!
If Kyle starts to demand Longy's wages at 19 then goodbye. If he proves he can hack it at 7, and he hasn't anywhere near proved that, he should get a big increase, if he then breaks into the england squad, then he might command longy's wages.

Surely any deal he gets will be based on achievements as they come along. All deals for young players step up year by year but no club is going to immediately offer one of (if not the) highest wage at the club to a completely unproven injury prone youngster. Imagine what that would do to players like Graham, Roby, Wilkin etc, all regular internationals who would be earning less than a player that can't even hold down a regular 1st team spot. They would either leave or demand at least as much as Eastmond.

I'm very confident that Mr Mac is wise enough to understand all these issues and will make the right decision.

Leave it to BIG Mac he'll sort it all out.

I think this is unsubstantiated rumor and press talk.

He's a young lad who some are building up too quickly and needs to be given time.

If he is demanding this kind of money he is in for a rude awakening I think!

Kyle Eastmond has asked for Shaun Long`s Money "fact" and they`ll give it him, don`t listen to anything else you hear, its rubbish.

highly doubt such. Actually offiah seems to have a wise head on his shoulders these days, from listening to him on certain points he brings up on sly sports.

The veracity of these rumours seems pretty dubious.

But if he does want unrealistic wonga - let him go. At the start of this season we were pinning most of our hopes on Eastmond, but with the startling development of Lomax and Wheeler we are in a position where we needn't tolerate being held over a barrel.

I watched wheeler a lot before he signed for saints, he was outstanding then at 6, i just hope sdaints don`t try and make him into a centre, because if they do we are all gonna miss out on something very very special at stand off, not sure were lomax fits in at 6 or 7 ?

This rumour is bollax according to a first teamer. Says Kyle is nothing like that and wouldnt dream of making such a request.
