Lee A Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Highly doubt we're playing too much hardball when it comes to our 14th choice right back, He'll be gone by the end of the day surely, hopefully in a swap deal for that kid at Chesterfield, love names I can't pronounce.

marcx666 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 FULHAM IN ADEBAYOR TALKS We understand Fulham are in discussions over signing Emmanuel Adebayor.

MrTacoSWFC Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 You always start high when you are trying to sell.. Because everyone always wants to think they have a bargain when they get it for half price ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nixon in Sun's saying we have blown others out by offering £4million for Adam Reach and this may tempt Boro to sell. Pricey , but you're getting 3 for 1 as he can play anywhere down left, and we did have last season to assess in Championship. Seems good business.

debram Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Think we should work with what we have got and review when the next transfer window opens, the prices that are being asked for some players is crazy, i dont blame the chairman for not paying over inflated prices and panic buying like some clubs.

I am only completely guessing here but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that they could be on the following weekly wages:- Vermijl £10K Dielna £6K Helan £8K Bus £8K Sougou £10K McGugan £15K That is £57K per week or £3m per year. Even if you think I have overcooked it, it must be £2.5m per year. I wouldn't even be surprised if McGugan is on more based on the rumours at the time we signed him. You could pay the salaries of two real top Championship players for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't need to sell, why give a player away as has been discussed earlier in the thread. Just because we are not splashing the cash on transfers doesn't mean we don't have any, I suspect we are very comfortable financially. In the past we had to sell before buying, but not the case at the moment. IMO if a player becomes available that we want, like Reach for example we will go for him and maybe then sanction one or two leaving to balance the books.

We really need to ship this lot out and save a fortune. We seem reluctant to let people go unless we get too dollar / full wages paid. Surely better to get them out altogether and use the cash towards more quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
