Doubt we'd get anywhere near his wage demands

I would assume he has had offers through his agent as I believe his agent can speak to other clubs when he has just 6months of his contract left. That is legally I am sure that discussions go on informally all of the time.
It may well be a high wage demand but what can he expect at 32 and he has been playing for a club that has underperformed the last few seasons so he can't be that great.
We have had players at that age that have done well for us but a lot more that have just been seeking a last pay packet and a pension top up.
We do have a reasonable contributor from Stoke that can let us know how he has been playing recently.

Allen remains a key part of the Welsh team that will soon be going to the World Cup. He may have been playing in an under performing club team but even at 32 he’s a good midfield player.
He would be a great short term signing for a club who’s prepared to pay his wages.

He was on big money at Stoke but even with a substantial wage cut I can't see us paying him anywhere near his demands, I'm sure someone will though.

Been a good addition. Under rated player. He's on big bucks though.

supposedly he was at £50,000/week at Stoke. would need to slash his salary more than by half for Town… so sounds like an absolute no-starter

We need a striker and attacking midfield/wide player(s).

Agree we need to be looking for a striker and attacking midfield/wide players but what happens if we get injuries or need to rest a central midfielder don't think we have anyone who can fill in or good enough and for me its the heartbeat of any team.

Some way past his best and big wages. Poor use of our budget I would say.
