Jon they wanted to extend, couldn't guarantee a first team place, he was also asking for 150K p/w with bonuses (the number I've heard), everton made him an offer but as a benchwarmer / super-sub (so won't hit bonuses), changed agents, new agent advised him to look elsewhere where he can be closer to a first choice or will get game time, but lower expectation on base and load up more on success bonus, came to Leeds, probably on 70K plus a spread of bonuses (no# goals, wins, survival, league position) and had in his contract that he would be given the "9" shirt.
