Just seen Stephen Ireland is reportedly being offered £70k a week which although seems massive-considering the backing of Citeh and what Chelsea offer their players since Abramovich took over-he could probably do a seth johnson and hold out for more:

"There is a story that when Johnson arrived at Leeds to discuss his contract, his agent wanted to hold out for £13,000 a week. Peter Ridsdale entered the room and said "Right, I'm sorry but I can only offer you thirty thousand a week".
