Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I always assumed that Forest were desperate for the transfer to go through and Burke just had to go along with it. Quite possibly true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Leipzig are newly promoted, and although they're clearly not your standard newly promoted side, I doubt Burke expected them to be keeping pace with Bayern at the top. He joined an ambitious (although minging) club who are focused around buying and developing young players. It's just unfortunate he found himself out of the team because they've been putting in title form from week 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I can pretty much guarantee - as far as is possible - that there is no way we would have been paying him anywhere near 30Kpw. Is that really what he's getting? Reported annual salary of £1.5m which works out to be just under £30k a week. Obviously he'll have appearance/goal/every other bonus on top of that too.

ponsaelius Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just because he's a kid doesn't mean he'd not be offered that kind of money by Prem teams. If you're signing a player for £10 million+ then it's expected he'd be an important signing for the club and that's the going rate, regardless of the fact he's 19. Sunderland would have definitely dished out something around that to Wickham when they signed him for a similar fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Someone should sign Naby Keita. He's very dynamic and decisive. If I was to compare him with someone, maybe Modric? I hope he leaves Leipzig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 On another note, I see Ross McCormack is training with the u23's after falling out with Bruce. Apparently hasn't been turning up for training and has a terrible attitude. Seems like that's one summer non-signing that we got right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Pulis tried his best to ruin a promising career. Hope the lad is successful. Berahino has ruined his own career, I have doubts he will ever do much now, wasted too much time. We had already lost promising young players to Chelsea and Liverpool before Berahino, a stand needed to be made, if you sign a contract, expect to honour it. The Spurs offer was heavily staggered and not much better than what we got, trying to 'mend' Berahino was worth a go, but he likes the bright lights of Manchester too much, has weight issues, can not head a ball to save his life, Baggies fans are chuffed to bits. He didn't want to be there. Manager didn't seem to rate him much. WBA have lasted 2 years of his short career trying and ultimately failing to prove a point.

The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Of course he did. There's much more chance of him developing into something with the standard of coaching he'll have access to over there. He'd have been able to get loads more over here. He's on a reported £30k a week plus bonuses man He'd not be on anywhere near that at any of the other clubs. Jenkinson is apparently on £40k at Arsenal.

Sho Time Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 He had one decent season, got ahead of himself and made himself look like a tit. I can't stand Tony Pulis but good on him for not bowing to the little prick's demands. He could have got his head down, played well and improved so he could properly run his contract down, while not allowing his career to stagnate. Instead he refused to turn up for training, got fat and didn't bother improving his good, but limited ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 They're 8th in the league without him so they've gained that and £15mil on a player who has scored 1 league goal in over 15 months He's not exactly been an angel in the whole saga either. Losing out on £5mil or whatever isn't really that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so disappointed when it seemed like he was going to Real Madrid, would probably have just become another Odegaard. Now, he's going to arguably the best club in Europe for developing talents, can't see him failing there tbh. He'll get to train with one of the best strikers in the world in PEA and he'll probably get plenty of chances to play as well. Doesn't hurt that I've followed BVB as much as possible since the Klopp days and will do so even more now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any lad going for over £10m should expect good money You're right to an extent, but again, you've given Arsenal as an example. They have a huge wage bill and are known for paying their youngsters that come through their academy extremely well. The really big clubs pay insane wages. The smaller clubs pay extremely good wages, but I am still not convinced that many Premier League clubs would have been prepared to pay Burke 30Kpw plus bonuses etc. I'm just not. It's pissing in the wind a bit because we don't have proper numbers, but here's a fairly good guess: http://www.totalsportek.com/money/manchester-united-player-salaries/ They have Lingard at 25Kpw and Rashford at 20Kpw. That sounds plausible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
