Being reported by several sources that Pulis has said that "four or five" players are in contract talks, and Jimmy will be one of them.

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.

Hmmmmm........IMHO JM is much more than just a squad player now, and would still be one of the first names on the team sheet for a couple of years - what is he now....29 - so he's easily got another 3 years in him at this level. Top, top player for me; when he plays badly WE play badly.
He's the one true offensive PL-class player we have who plays consistently well at this level
