Wasn't there a player that was going to sign for Leeds before they imploded, he was going to ask for something like 7k/week, they said something like "I'm sorry, we have a wage structure here, our offer to you is 15k/week"?

Seth Johnson
Mention the name Seth Johnson to anyone and they will almost certainly tell the same story about his contract at Leeds United.
The legend goes that Johnson, earning around £5,000 a week at Derby County, went into negotiations with Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale hoping for an increase to around £13,000 a week.
Ridsdale, however, offered £30,000, and then immediately upped that to £37,000 when his opening gambit was met with stunned silence.

But he's still a great figure in the dressing room I bet.

One of our better midfielders imo. Miles ahead of Davis. But one of those injury prone players. Always problems.

That says a lot about our squad and all of it depressing.
Hope he goes to Leeds.
