Zero pressure on him at Leeds

I disagree. Yes, expectations of him at Leeds will probably be quite low (due to his record over the past four seasons), but there will be pressure on him to score enough goals and contribute enough to keep them in the top flight. He will not face as much pressure as he did with us, but that does not mean he will be under no pressure to score and perform for Leeds.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating, will be curious to see how he fares for Leeds.

In comparison. Yes.

Reports coming out of the contract being equivalent to £180k per week.

Wha....?!?

Good.

Surely not

Surely not

Sounds a touch high but not massively so. That will be the overall value of the contract. It will represent what is probably a very big signing on fee and potential bonuses across the length of the contract rather than him being on 180k a week as a wage I'd imagine though.

Be daft if he's not got something on image rights in his deal.

If Everton gave a mediocre finished product like DCL 180k a week, people here would absolutely go insane. But Leeds did it so it’s funny.

Post number 518 explains it though.

Like people here care about context.

Still a massive wedge. I’d have accepted him back as a depth option only, at about 1/4 that amount.

Crossed my mind... At Goodison 9 years X 52 weeks X 50k (no doubt more) =£23,400,000.00

Staggering

What's staggering is you think we signed an 18-year old DCL from Sheff United, to play in our U21 team, on £50k p/w.
