Philb125 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Crazy that this thread lives alongside two slated ticket prices and so many advocating trying to sign a player who’s on circa 100k per week. I’m so glad some of our supporters aren’t in charge of our finances. Already over spending, reading to strip out 10m in costs, likely means top players like Westwood, Hooper, etc will be let go.... but maybe we’ve got another 10m down back of the couch to sign and pay for a 33 year old to play in the position of Thornely.

sherlyegg Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 In any case, If there is anything in it, it will depend where we are in the league in January. Or maybe only 10k per week but a £2M bonus if we are promoted. Or maybe he is looking at management in a couple of years and will come here for luv Or maybe it's complete balllax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Seems unlikely given our troubles with FFP and the players status. The sentiment in me says yes would love to see this but he's on a huge wage and closing in on 33. Probably wouldn't be the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Have we not had enough aging prem cast offs? Rather keep playing Thornily tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Can't seriously believe that some on here are saying we shouldn't sign him if given the chance! Lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunacy. Out of interest where would you find an extra 5-10m to fund this? Or 15-20m as we already have a cost cutting exercise underway. If if you can only spend or make losses of 13m a season is a player with zero resale value currently on excess of 100k per week really that sensible?

If he came to us mate it's be a loan til end of season. His contract is up and Chelsea aren't gonna be bothered about the 2m they could receive for him elsewhere.

At beginning ings of season he wanted to stay and fight for his spot at Chelsea so I’d guess he won’t fancy dropping too low in January, lazy journalists for me! Not sure I would want to spend big on one particular player - it doesnt seem to work. Would rather build a strong 'team' than one strong 'area'. Not sure I would be looking to extend Palmers contract. Not young anymore, we should be looking to bring someone in who is better and use Baker as back up.

He earns north of 100K per week, to subsidise that its circa £10 extra per home game per fan. I'm sure the 'it costs too much threads' wouldnt mind £39 per game becoming £49 or season tickets going up by £230 to subsidise Gary's home coming....And lets say he'd do it for 50% thats still $5 per game extra per fan... simple math makes this a non starter!

j17tjp Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 he’s still a great player. I know he’s not getting game time st CFC but that’s because they have so many great players available. They’re right at the top of the Prem and I think they’ll finish top 2. GC is older and possibly had slowed down a bit, but he can still cut it with the top clubs. Mad much as I’d like someone like him in our team, he’ll cost a lot, and just see out his career somewhere, like Terry wanting a big payday to see off his final season(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) As I said before, chealsea ar loaded up with abramovic money and all the Prem and TV deals money. If they want to get rid of cahill they will want to put him in the shop window and playing games, so to speak as more chance of someone signing him and being loaded they can probably pay his weekly wages as they'll have to do even if he's not playing for them. If there been smart to they put a recall clause in, so if they have an injury crisis they can bring him back fit and sharp still, so a non fee loan deal somewhere is not out of question, with maybe just wanting the loaning club to stump up for the playing bonuses.

Bolsterstone Owl Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 If you're making £100k plus a week, you make it for as long as you can. He'll be a long time retired. Anyway he'll be settled down there, kids will be in school, etc. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
