We got £15m for Wood and actual legal currency for Shelvey. There’s only one man to blame if you’re unhappy about fees, loans, or lack of sales for the likes of Darlow, Lewis, Manquillo, Hayden, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the "He's shit, take it or leave it". Can't force teams to take his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If it is >£2m it's a shame. At the same time, Darlow is arguably fourth choice and pulling in a reported £30k a week. That salary could easily go to one or two promising youngsters that will contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 We’ve probably accrued his remaining wages as an onerous contract in last years accounts so there would be a small in-year benefit there by shifting him early too. I’m of the opinion that I’d shift all the deadwood for free just to get them off the books. A fee of any sorts really is a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 £400K or £4m makes not a single difference in the grand scheme. It’s about moving him off the books and out of the squad entirely. Best of luck to him, hope he does well with Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just one year short of the traditional testimonial requirement - amazing how long Ashley-era signings ended up staying. Nothing against the lad at all, though - hope he does well in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Thanks for paying for two weeks of Bruno's new contract. Seriously though, that's £1.5M in wages off the books this season and next. That's not nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised we're getting anything tbh. There'll be players we'll be lucky to get a small part of their wages covered by loaning them out every season until their contracts expires.

Newcastle Fan Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I think Leeds are getting a decent keeper at that level for next to nothing, the initial fee that was suggested of 4m/5m was a good one but anyway our team knows what they are doing.

Add the fee up plus wages and you’ve probably got the true picture of the saving. Someone mentioned if we had accounted for it already as a provision then we can unwind it and release more to the P&L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’m surprised we even got that much and can’t see many PL level teams being interested in him. His wages will put off a lot of teams and unless he’s willing to take a pay cut to move he’d likely just stick around picking those wages up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I thought we'd end up having to loan him out and paying a chunk of the wage still so we're a bit up anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
