Dokko Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Taiwo happends to be a well known name for some time. Went on a free? to Milan. Bet he's on high wages. I doubt milan will pay him more than they needed to, prestige of Milan should have been enough. I think it'll be more than we would pay, he was on a free, teams will have thrown mental money at him.

GuyP Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Taiwo will probs be on £50k pw...that is like minimum Milan pay to players...they have squad players on £60/70kpw so id say he'd need to take a pay cut... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest magpie99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 On the subject of Rhys Williams, I live in Oz and a close friend is a rabid Boro supporter who rates Williams extremely highly. He has recently broke into the Australian National team at right back although he is more than capable in the centre of defence and midfield. He is not classified as a regular in the starting line up espedcially with Luke Wilkshire ahead of him but he is a no panic player, quite quick, tall, good in the air and a very good passer and crosser of the ball. I would say that if we signed him, he has the ability to more than replace Simpson bdcause he is a better all round defender and gets forward much better. His delivery from the flank is very good and being so adaptable, he can play anywhere along the backline and midfield too. However, his best position is RB and if we signed him, he would replace Simpson in no time. On a side note, his younger brother has just broken into the senior team at Portsmouth and is rated a better prospect than Rhys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However hes developing into more of a centre back under Mowbray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I was impressed with him recently when he played right back for Australia recently in a couple of internationals. I think he will end up being the long term replacement in the national team for Wilkshire. He seems to be his understudy at present. However, it is a good thing to have a player so adaptable, he is able to play several positions capably. By the way, Aussie. Where in Oz are you?

Shayno Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Rhys Williams would be a slight improvement on James Perch but I wouldn't want him playing any other role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksammy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Rhys Williams would be a slight improvement on James Perch but I wouldn't want him playing any other role. He would be a great player to have as cover, however as he is still developing its best we don't get him as he would need first team football to grow into his potential.

Primavera on 50k pw? No wonder you couldn't afford Tevez Im pretty sure alot of squad veterans liek Gattuso and Ambrosini are on £80kpw, and thats after tax so technically its even more...think im also right in thinking Milan have the highest wage bill in the world?

Taylor Swift Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Palace chairman came out and said Clyne's refusing to sign a new contract. Looks like he's off now in Jan or in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Seems like exactly the sort of player we would normally target. Cheap due to contract situation, young, lots of potential etc.. Would be silly not to try imo, It's a no lose situation unless he wants stupid wages which I cant see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Exploit Clyne's contract situation and rumble Samba into going on strike at Blackburn. Probably get them both for less than £10m. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
