Zaha is playing in the prem and earning £100K a week though

Our boys will be back in the champ and probably on about £20k.

They will probably have offers on the table from top clubs to return to the premier league and earn 4 or 5 times as much money.

I really don;t see them not wanting to go. Pukki is the only one who I think is hard to read because he;s got a bit of an off the wall Finnish thing going on, things have gone so much better for him at Norwich than many of his other clubs and I can't really tell how likely he would be to be difficult if he did not get a move. Its funny and surprising that he is not linked with prem moves like the others are.
