Gone are days when we paid big salaries to player and thats why will we also never see the quality of JJ and Hiero play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree there Macc, we've removed enough chaff from the wage bill to acommodate this lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds dad Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Absof?ckinglutely Have to disagree there Macc, we've removed enough chaff from the wage bill to acommodate this lad You are right we have removed a lot of chaff but also gate and commercial income is down at the club. I know we have the sky money but this is used to fund the debt and general running of the club. We seem to be a club that is preparing for the worst instead of perhaps being brave and spending some money, although not being as silly as Leeds Utd were. We may also get the other players asking for a pay rise to match the new boy. I would guess most of first team are on 20 to 25 k a week with a few more established players (Nolan, Davies, Jussi and Ricky) perhaps on 40k unless someone knows better.

Henrick_Pedigol Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 60k per week for 2 years is 6 million invested. If were looking at the likes of Vukevik for 5 million plus wages I know where I'd be spending my money. Anyway, the lack of interest may force him to drop his demands.

Rembrandt Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Give o'er ..... what do we need a new midfielder for ? He can't be any better than what we have already. We'd have to drop JOB or McCann, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That's what we are missing...Africans! We were good when we had them in our team. we were better when we had Africans in our team but they fcuked off every two yeares to play in Cup of Nations. They then came back injured or tired and never got back to their pre cup form. get in some good young british players and we may get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted September 30, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2008 At 60k a week wages he has no chance of coming to the Reebok. Gone are days when we paid big salaries to player and thats why will we also never see the quality of JJ and Hiero play for us. For the umpteenth time, Hierro was signed from some Arab mickey mouse league and only had a handful of decent games for us, his days of being quality were long gone. We saw glimpses, nowt more.

Anelka is the only player I'd expect to have ever been on wages that compete with top clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 no we didn't It was enough for Allardyce to try and off load him in the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombwfc Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) He was also up for offloading Pedersen, was he earning 60k a week aswell? Edited September 30, 2008 by Tombwfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 For the umpteenth time, Hierro was signed from some Arab mickey mouse league and only had a handful of decent games for us, his days of being quality were long gone. We saw glimpses, nowt more. He was probably getting paid a stupidly large amount for strolling around in that Arab league though, I've no doubt he took a pay cut to come to us. As Carlos rightly points out, he played well about 3 times for us, the rest of the time he was poor at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 He's top class, and only 27. There has to be a reason why there are'nt more clubs interested, even the ?60,000 a week shouldn't put off some of the bigger teams gettting somebody that good on a free. I know that it is all guess work and all that, but IMO getting Stelios Campo and the rest that left in January off the wage bill should free up enough to offer in the region of ?50,000, and seen as he has publicly stated that he doesn't have many other offers then I think it would definitely tempt him. Another freebie that I've seen is Tristan, he is currently training with West Ham. I know he's 32 and his best years are behind him, but he still has the quality to open up defences and playing in the front 3 he could be the creativity that we need.

Mounts Kipper Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 so how much did we pay him amd how do you know? I think Hierro was a pay as you play contract and I am sure it was something like 10 k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sure i heard that they are trying to move ACN to summer now instead of jan/feb. the european clubs want them to, i think the problem is that it is too hot to play over there then. not sure how that stacks up with world cup in south africa though.
