Since the rumour mills are being as ridiculous as always. One of the rumours I'm crossing my fingers for is that selling Tav may open up the opportunity to pay Wilshires wages. He was earning somewhere between £60K and £80K per week (between £3.1 and £4.1M a year) . If we sell Tav (£3.5m plus Approx £500k per year wages), I would use that money for Wilshires wages. I reckon he would enjoy a spell away from the EPL since all the negative press surrounding him is about him never reaching his potential and injury proneness (even though he has played injury free for the past two seasons) . Of course its all conjecture and hearsay and a dash of wishful thinking on my part and yeah, of course he will attract clubs down south, but Imagine if we sign him for 3 years and sell him back to the EPL next summer, we would make a huge profit on a player that wouldn't command a transfer fee.
Again, just wishful thinking, selling Tav and bring him in on a package that suits both parties, (Rangers not loosing any money due to Tav sale, Wilshire earning the same as he was last season, and playing regularly for trophies) makes a lot of sense to me.
Anywho. just a thought.

According to reports Wilshire was offered £100k a week to stay at Arsenal which was lower than his previous wage. There is no way he will come up here and we couldn’t afford those type of wages.

You want to sell tag and use all the money plus more to pay wages on one player for a year? Behave

Selling one of our best players to fund the wages of a guy who has ankles made of glass, in the hope he has a storming season and we can sell him down south.
So what happens if he gets injured like he has most seasons and we are stuck with this guy on a 3 year contract?
Not to mention the disharmony it would cause when we have one guy earning 4 times our highest present earner.
I would rather we concentrate all our medical resources on Rossitier as I believe with a solid, fully fit season he will be just as good as Jack Wilshire would be for us.

Wilshire knocks back £100 k a week and is he in Russia?
I wouldn’t take him on a free paying him minimum wage.
Like 99% of all English players in EPL overrated, overpaid.
EPL is all smoke and mirrors.
