Why should we pay them millions up front so they can then go and sign for someone else next week. I'd rather keep the wasters at the club and make them clean the car park or stands or summert until someone comes in for them The problem with simply cancelling contracts (as I see it), is that it's still spending money so with FFP having such an influence in how we operate there is no benefit in paying players up.

Do you have to pay the wages of any new players until those players leave. It's mr Cs money who are we to tell him how to spend it? I just want the best team he can afford. He'll be able to afford better if he gets shut of that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair do's. I think Nuhiu is costing us a lot of money just to be a nuisance type player for the later stages of games. Much like Semedo I am baffled why he was given a new deal.

fred mciver Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just a thought but may have been best not to sign these non players at all, instead using money on more productive footballers who would have took us near top 2 and had high sell on values. Barnsley's latest cheap signing now wanted by wba for 6 million. Also would have helped with fmp situation. Then again, it's taken cellino much longer than Chansiri to get right policies, practices and people in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's the way I see it too. The biggest problem is their big contracts that they're not willing to lower to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those players were made available in the summer apparently and no offers were received. Read the other day that Florest are interested in taking Mugughan on loan also heard that he has turned down other loan moves. If true maybe that goes some way to showing why he isn't playing for us.

Is the OP really so worthy of such a response? Looking at that list I'm not sure £6m is that far off, it's only £12k a week on average, and given that Emanuelson hinted at him being made one of the club's highest paid players when he signed it does allow for a few being on less. At a time when fans appear to be saying we shouldn't be looking at Rhodes because of FFP it can't be denied that the money we are wasting on bad signings is hampering us. And it's also fairly clear that our transfer policy has resembled a real life Football Manager game at times recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not easy, but I fear that if we don't somehow, we are massively compromising our abilities to actually move forward. I honestly would prefer to see that lot gone before we spend again.

After reading some of the replies to my OP, the thought 'why bother contributing' did cross my mind, but 1 or 2 replies I feel were valid. It's funny that people accuse you of playing football manager and yet I would suggest that many won't even be aware of the details of the crass stupidity and reckless spending of the 90's that led us into the recent past high court appointments in 2010. Emanuelson could be another Yonk. Matias another Donnelly Melo another Hinchliffe Abdi another Sibon Or how about the Kovacevic sell-on fee that we never received? I could go on too.... Talk about ghosts of the past coming back to haunt us. I fear for the long term if we don't start to get things right with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
