As much as I rate the bloke, been a good servant of the club etc etc, we cannot keep handing out massive lucrative contracts to players that are approaching the end of their careers. Would Jimmy accept a short term deal?
I'd imagine Morrison is on easily £40k+ a week and gave his "come and get me" plea to other clubs to cover his own interests which I completely understand. I also understand the club saying "you want a new contract, continue to earn one and we'll take it from there". The same goes for Sess, Olsson etc.
Would doubt he is on £40,000 a week, isn't that what Saido is on and that made him one of our top earners.
After a quick look online I found this http://sportspayroll.com/james-morrison-...ch-albion/
Obviously taking it with a pinch of salt but they have him as being on £48k a week. Big wages for someone who potentially should be becoming more of a squad player than first team in the near future as we look to bring new players in.
