mighty__mag Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When the hell did we last pay £100,000 a week wages to anybody? It probably got lost in translation and supposed to say we’ve got £100,000 to spend on a striker. Don't think we've ever paid that. Owen was paid more, and Colo was close to 100k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 People on Twitter honestly wondering why we're after a keeper. Unfuckingreal some people. It's a major priority along with a striker. Ridiculous if people are fine with Elliott and darlow. In fairness it’s probably from a mindset that we’ve little to no money to spend so of all the positions GK falls behind a 9,10 and possibly even a 4. That and Reina is way past his best. I agree we really shouldn't be after Reina, but we really need a GK to step up. Only really had 1 good performance from both all season which was Darlow's vs Stoke.

STM Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I don't think I've ever been so sceptical about us signing players as I am right now. Every link just goes in one ear and then out of the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Our keepers do several mistakes but our defence is generally ok with Lascelles. Going forward is a nightmare, however, so I get why our top 2 priorities are further up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I’m pretty certain Owen was on less than 100k and Colo much less so. I’m also certain we have never paid a player more than that per week. Shearer said recently he’d be a pauper in today’s game what he was paid when he played for us. He’s joking of course, but it shows the huge increase in not only transfer fees, but wages too, since the likes of him hung their boots up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was revealed when we sued the FA for his injury and bought Martins with the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was revealed when we sued the FA for his injury and bought Martins with the money. Fifa and the FA had been paying £50,000 of Owen's £110,000 weekly wages since he suffered the injury, totalling about £2m for the time he was out of action. As well as the compensation for signing Martins as cover for him, Newcastle had also demanded that Fifa pay his medical bills. The club said last night that the dispute had ended with the settlement. Fifa indicated that the settlement was between £6m and £7m but the Newcastle spokesman said: "Taking into account that [Owen's] wages have now been paid in full and the compensation we have received, it will amount to around £10m." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/jun/26/newsstory.sport8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I thought Shearer had a clause in his contract that if anyone came in on more money, that his would be upped to match it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Owen was on £105k and Shearer had it in his contract he’d always have parity with the highest earner so therefore he went up to £105k also when Owen signed.

Written out before we signed Owen so the club could sign players like that. He was 33 or something when Owen signed and was signing 1 year extensions iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Probably not very realistic, but would anyone here take Giroud? Provide him with an opportunity and he seems to score.
