WalthamOwl Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Save it for tomorrow DC. Oh and maybe get a no nonsense midfielder in. Love a bit of transfer deadline day business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I do expect he will sign for us, no inside info but it just makes sense. We need a player of his type, he wants to come (apparently), Palace happy for him to go so it's just about the numbers. I think it will happen.

It’s going to be another interesting day. Or possibly not, if the Wickham household hasn’t got any bananas. Worcester Sauce !!!!!!! If he doesn't use Hendos he's not coming here !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s those simple four words that make it more unlikely! I do hope we get him though. If/when we do it’ll make it more frustrating that he was sat on the Palace bench for the past month when he could have been knocking in a few to keep us closer to sixth (or worst case scenario building up some match fitness).

Guest Ferkorf Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 If it is between us and cardiff Im sure his Mrs will be influencing him I said earlier in the month I wasn't sure of if I wanted him here due to injury record but if its him or nobody then obviously get him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Does anyone know what has been Wickham's latest progress. We are all looking on him as THE Saviour? Does anyone kow of his latest progress? I do know that, after leaving from his loan spell, he endured a dip in form, and went under the radar for quite a long time. Is he still showing the promise he did when he was here, or are we doing our 'cloud cuckoo land' bit again? I don't know, but were he the same player we had, I would say yes ..........but 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) So Wickham is on a decent whack, £40K per week? - Total guess. He's extremely injury prone. We agree to take him on loan until the end of May. Total cash cost:- circa £700K. Total FFP loss £700K No sell on value. Just £700K tipped down the drain. Similarly, we could go for the best striker in league One or a good youngster that's not quite going to make it in the PL for lets say £3m. Give him a 4.5 year contract and wages of say £20K per week. Cash cost to the end of June (our year end) of £3m plus £400k wages. But FFP cost of £3m amortised for the 6 months of a 4.5 year contract = 333K + wages = total FFP cost of £733K. So from an FFP point of view, one method costs you £700K down the drain. The other costs you £733K and you have an asset that may appreciate in value. This is where we continually get it wrong. Money spunked on loan players. Money spunked on players that are of an age where they won't appreciate in value. The likes of SUFC, Norwich and Brentford have shown us the way. Even WBA, a club with parachute payments has caught on. Edited January 30, 2020 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
