S36 OWL Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Try and get rid of Madine and Zayatte to fund it. Would be a great bit of business. Who the herll is going to give us money for those two . ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeder Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I agree, but no one is going to pay us a fee for either of those two . Suppose some would say the squads already too thin but given that neither are getting a look in (granted Zayette's injured - but when int he) if we could use the cash toward the wages of someone like McGugan then can't see why we shouldn't get shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GY-owl.4 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 all this talk of getting rid of Zayatte! who fills in at CB? we would be down to Dielna, Buxton & Semedo, I want MuGugan but we cant get rid of our reserve CB to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 There's enough scope to trim the wage bill to accommodate him by letting some of the peripheral players go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 but the fact remains our squad is thin as it is, '2 out 1 in' aint gonna work, if we need to do that to get MuGugan then we cant afford him. 2 in for every 1 out is what we should be doing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kehlar on his way back from injury to replace Zayatte, and Madine's on loan. If it helped towards bringing in a player who would be a step above what we currently have, a nailed on first teamer, I'd be delighted personally.

gurujuan Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) but the fact remains our squad is thin as it is, '2 out 1 in' aint gonna work, if we need to do that to get MuGugan then we cant afford him. 2 in for every 1 out is what we should be doing, The way I look at it, we already have the budget for all the current squad, plus this striker Gray is trying to bring in. If he's successful in bringing in another striker, presumably Madine will stay out. I believe Kelhar's contract runs out in January. With 7 central midfielders, 2 of those could also go out. In theory we could also send Kirkland out to get games, plus any of the development squad, whom Gray feels would benefit from regular first team games. This more than cover any shortfall in McGugan's wages.Any fee, and whether we would want to break our wage structure, is another issue.

Ronio Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If we want this player then we need to get some sort of deal done as soon as possible. The longer we leave it, the more likely another team will come in and snap him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Really this is one of those times when you just need your chairmen to stick his hand in his pocket and buy the player. A bit like he did with Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If we have ANY realistic chance of signing McGugan within our budget, Milan and Aldridge need to pull out all the stops to make it happen as soon as possible. None of this fannying around offering half the asking price, allowing it to drag on and on until another club swoops in and steals him from under our noses - find out the asking price / wage demands and if it's possible, pay it. We won't get another chance to buy a Championship midfielder as good as McGugan for quite some time, of that I'm almost certain. I made a thread suggesting McGugan as the ideal signing back towards the start of the season, not really expecting it to happen (http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/217935-if-you-could-borrow-one-current-championship-player/?hl=+lewis%20+mcgugan%20+arenotwhattheyseem). The fact that we now have him here and might have a chance to secure him on a permanent transfer is almost too good to be true. Please don't bugger this up, Wednesday - I won't suggest any more signings if you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't bugger this up, Wednesday - I won't suggest any more signings if you do! Well said, think exactly the same thing. If Milan can push the boat out, maybe we could offload some players in January, we have a surplus number of midfielders. Coke, McCabe and Corry could be sent out on loan, Madine may even be on his way in jan or even have his loan extended til the end of the season. Should release some funds from the wage budget.

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Big difference between us paying him say, £20k a week on a permanent contract and someone else paying it whilst he's on loan here. Apart from the fact MM won't smash his wages budget, if you are on say £30k a year in your job and your employer offers a new member of staff £40k for the same job, it's going to brass you off. Footballers are no different in that respect. It could be very destructive. Anyway, it's irrelevant because we are almost certain never to sign him. Being a footballer isn't a normal job mate.

FreshOwl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We need to sort out this signing ASAP, no flipping about, no excuses. Watford will not be asking for an inflated price, don't wee wee about for once Wednesday and get this wrapped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontemp Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 As if Mandaric will pay the required brass for a player of McGugan's calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
