Guest Roger Kint Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Shock message on wages: Pards: "Look lads, Big Mike's been wondering- will any of you just play for the craic and lols and just forget about being paid for a few months? I'm just putting the feelers out. Sleep on it." It's blatantly going to be some form of propaganda about getting value for money, probably throwing in a few digs at the club's past etc. Aye blatently going to be some spiel about 'we will pay the going rate for anyone who is worth it' possibly with a 'we tried to give Jose an obscene wage but.....'

Guest BooBoo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Yeah, joking aside it'll be "the days when this club we're taken for a ride and offering huge contracts are over." Good or bad thing? I'm glad that we're not spunking mega money on overhyped and under motivated cack like Viduka, Geremi and Duff but there has to be a happy medium. If we continually offer peanuts, we'll miss out on targets and our best players will move on. I would guess Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Tiote (new contract) aren't exactly the lowest paid players in the premiership Yes, but there's a huge gap from that happy little band, who I would imagine would be on about 35k max a week to Viduka who was reportedly on at least 70k.

Cajun Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Would be surprised if Ben Arfa isn't on more at least but I agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Really, looking back we wasted a criminal ammount of money on dross. I wonder how much Babayaro was on to lounge around the physio room? I can't say I approve of Mike Ashley but at least his regime has halted the nonsensical approach of throwing unlimited wonga at has beens or money bloated players who could be barely bothered to break sweat.

Wallace Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Would be surprised if Ben Arfa isn't on more at least but I agree. Ben Arfa was reported to be on £50k a week at Marseilles so I would expect him to be on more than that here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been this regimes biggest fan, but if they can pull off 4-5 quality signings i'd say their initial plan is in full effect. I'd still chin em mind.

Cajun Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 This transfer window will have a big shift either way for me. At the moment I am not exactly happy with the board, they have made some massive mistakes but seem to be improving. As much as I didn't want to see him go we aren't and won't be the last club to accept the sort of money we got for a player like Carroll so I can't really feel anomosity for that decision. The majority of the last 10 or so signings have actually been quite impressive so I am swaying towards someone knowing what the fuck they are doing however it's really about this summer, we are in a position were we can really push on and correct the massive fuck ups from the past and even get to a position we were struggling to get back to even before Ashley took over, can they get it right? I hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. I want to support them but until we land another really big one like Cabaye I still wonder. Demba Ba is a good signing but he's still a come down from Gameiro, and to get him we've exploited a release clause. Likewise, I'm concerned that we might go from M'Bengue to Neil Taylor exploiting yet another clause. There's been big talk this summer but I just wonder what it will look like by September?

I hope so. Good post, i keep trying to avoid saying "this window will be a test of ashleys plans" because ive said it a couple of times already and ended up looking a prat but i dare say that with the boost in revenue we'll get and the 35 million from the carroll sale that this really would be the test of ashelys intentions. The amount of money spent is no issue to me and shouldnt be an issue for any fan, the only thing that should be an issue is that we're getting quality players. People seem to forget that all these quality playyers who cost a lot now were unknown and cheap a year earlier. If we do things right we're looking at these players now. So far it looks as though we've spent 5m and potentially have 2 excellent players on our books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Cedric Hengbart (31 year old Auxerre right-back) confirms we contacted him (along with a number of other clubs before signing a new deal). http://www.lyonne.fr/editions_locales/auxerre/[email protected] Which clubs had been in contact with you? In France, Toulouse made an offer which was refused by Auxerre. For me, if I was to stay in Ligue 1 it was always going to be with Auxerre, the President said he'd allow me to leave for a foreign club. In England there was contact with Blackburn, Newcastle, Stoke, WBA & Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
