madras Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'll sticky this later when people are aware of it. aye, especially when getting closer to deadline day, about which I hope we have a squad of mods ready to keep it bang up to date as i'm at work at 5am on the morning of sept 1st so can't stop up till midnight (3am if spurs) waiting to see what happens so a one-click whats happened thread on the stickies would be just dandy, newcastle first then major others. going to be weird the deadline being just hours before a full round of games.

Dave Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We won't do anything that late, so there's little to worry about. There are plenty of other sites that list major signings for all clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Curtis Good (Melbourne Heart) - ~£600k Curtis Good is rumoured to be costing 600k Australian Dollars which is apparently just less than £400K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's a fair old amount of weekly salary walking out the door/being sold. Roughly:- Smith - £60k Lovenkrands - £20k Guthrie - £10k Best - £15k Forster - £2.5k Ranger - £2.5k £110k per week (give or take). If we bring in Debuchy (£30k), Anita (£10k), De Jong (£35k) and Douglas (£30k) OR equivalents of the same status/experience we'll still have a saving whilst hugely improving the quality and depth of the squad.

Dave Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lovenkrands won't have been on anywhere near £20k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'd say no more than half of that, but it's a pure guess of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's guesswork, of course, but the point stands that we can vastly improve the quality and depth of the squad without having to expand the wage bill. This is a huge plus when you consider the likes of Cuellar will demand a big signing on fee and in excess of £40k a week for the Mackems who already have a shite wage:turnover ratio.

Dave Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There's only really Xisco left in the squad who is robbing a living and offering nothing for it. Ranger is probably on so little that he doesn't count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If we're going to keep loaning him out until his contract expires, we might as well get let him go for nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If we're going to keep loaning him out until his contract expires, we might as well get let him go for nowt. He probably wants to earn £50.000 a week for another year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There's only really Xisco left in the squad who is robbing a living and offering nothing for it. Ranger is probably on so little that he doesn't count. Yep - forgot about Xisco too. Hopefully, when he does go, that'll be another two players we can bring in to enhance the squad. For all we had plenty of quality about the first team last year our squad depth was really lacking in quality. This is where we should be looking to improve once we've brought in the main targets. Also, makes sense of the alleged interest in development players, in the hope one or two of them can become squad players over the next 12-24 months. I'd be really keen on Ashley to throw a few million at kids with potential (like Curtis Good). You've only really got to get one through and you've paid for it two or three times over. I'm sure this will be right up on the agenda for them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We should give Xisco another 5 year deal, Just to remind ashley of the knob he trusted with transfers decisions. Xisco must have wise tattooed on his arse. The biggest waste of money in football transfer history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
