Kopparberg Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Could still happen - if it’s not looking like it then the club should move on quick. Total guesswork, but imagine he was being offered less than Fisayo. Could be one explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalAlien Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I doubt he personally will have been involved in salary negotiations. He, like every other pro footballer will have an agent making demands to get as much as he can for his client and himself. Maybe agents haven't yet come to terms with the effects of Covid-19 and future wage structures of clubs outside the EPL. All clubs need to stand firm and try to avoid falling into the trap of overpaying and risking the future of the club by forcing agents to accept lower wages for their clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko1992 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 He looks about 12. Not sure he'd be up to the physical demands of the Championship anway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Coming from Man City might also skew your idea of ‘what is a good wage?’ also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Agreeing to Agents demands has got us in to a lot of financial trouble ,Hats off to Chansiri if we are now being more astute with the money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to play more than he does, why is he on 2/3/4/5 times more than me? We’re awfully quick to tarnish the lad when at the moment all we know is they have been negotiating a salary. Very rarely are both sides happy at first attempt and if they are maybe one side unknowingly has their pants down. Tbf I don’t think the young lad will have any idea what Westwood or any other player is on. The fact is it’s not about experience, it’s about what someone is willing to offer. Coming from city’s academy and highly thought of by Pep, that will add to his value no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more concerned about how he’s already been hung out to dry as a money grabber, now I hope we don’t resurrect it and sign him as he’s already tarnished to many.

Jim Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 When we were first linked with him it was suggested that both Sheffield United and West Brom were interested so that's probably more of a reason why we won't get him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballers just seem to work for Agents (Who seem to operate more like third rate agencies) and the player just gets told who they are going to play for.

I remember Penney’s form going down hill (mostly due to a change of position thanks to Jos) and he started getting the old “what’s a young lad driving that car for, billy big balls“ etc. Was actually an A Class AMG Line Merc. Nice car but very level headed tbf. Didn’t go balls out and get a Bentley etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
