But the point is he moans about players wanting more money but is willing to tell everyone he might leave so he gets a pay rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can be replaced, currently he is irreplaceable, however as we all know things change very quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilder has made it clear for some time that he does not like high earning players. But the more these players like Egan keep putting in very good performances, they will have their heads turned. As much of a togetherness squad they have, money soon talks when an agent gets in their ear because money bags like Villa are offering to double their wages. I think it would take a huge offer as they clearly currently have a very good dressing room and togetherness, but there's teams in that league with more money than sense. Wilder hates anyone who comes asking for more money. This is where they will come unstuck and the replacements will not work as hard and he will have to change playing style to stay in the PL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Duran Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 sounds like Robinson off to WBA and Mousset of to France. He doesn't really have a good record when spending big money. Good at the Bash / Bald's / Leon's of the football spectrum and getting them to over perform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_1 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Moussett being done has been that way for a while hasn't it? He was in France before they played their last game of the season. Hopefully they lose money on them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 One things for sure , if he makes a signing that doesn`t come off he wastes no time in moving them along, rather than flogging a dead horse and trying to justify the outlay. Did it a couple of years ago with Evans and Leonard and now Robinson and Moussett , if only we could have done the same with Abdi , Jones , Rhodes etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players were either unfit or on huge contracts meaning we couldn't have moved em on if we tried. I'm getting bored with looking at how he does things and wishing we could do the same now. I'm just hoping it goes wrong somehow but staying away from predicting how. Bored of being wrong on that stuff too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Did they spend much on Robinson? Looks like they will lose a good lump on mousset but that will of set by one big sale I guess. Would think they will currently be well in front on buying/ selling and squad value since wider took over. B@str@rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t really laugh at expensive failures when we paid 10 million for Rhodes. That’s probably a drop in the ocean for them these days whereas Rhodes pretty much got us a 12 point deduction. Oh god. The *we cant laugh at United cause we are sh*te* brigade are out in force again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Signed Ramsdale from Bournemouth which means Henderson is unlikely to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaykz Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 £20m on McBurnie £20m on Mousset £25m on Berge £19m on Ramsdale Over £80m on just those 4. That’s a hell of a lot of money to spend on players who don’t improve your starting 11. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
