Guest neesy111 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We didn't pay barton off, we just let him go for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's just about crisis mode time. We need to start coming to agreements to terminate contracts. Pay them off portions of their contracts to get them off the wage bill and let them be free agents and start getting new bodies in. Let Rafa build the fucking teams he wants damnit. FM don't really work in real life. Never played. Basing my contract knowledge on American sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he does seemed to have fallen out big style, unfortunately Colback will never go for a contract pay up, he's got too long on it and would want it all paid up, and we aint going to do that.

Transfer fees, player here are seen as assets, to sell and buy, i suppose it's as simple as that really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Only getting 1.8m for De Jong. Even with all his injuries, I was hoping we'd get a bit more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Only getting 1.8m for De Jong. Even with all his injuries, I was hoping we'd get a bit more than that. As someone posted yesterday, hopefully we do have money left to spend, but getting the deadwood (high) wages off the bill has been the problem, and more important than the fee received.

Zero Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 De Jong wages is very high, that's why the fee so cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongMag Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 DeJong gone hopefully - even with a low fee - will free up room in the squad to go for a few more players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 How many years does he have left on his contract? (so fucking sad that I know this forum too well I had to add the last part on to stop the illness/injury jokes). This probably frees up £6m in terms of fee and wages. Need a few more out.

Stottie Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yeah, if its what we need. Kenedy, keeper, and a striker/#10 should do the job till January, and no excuses if we can't do that in a week. The football will be methodical and conservative, but we shouldn't be cast adrift, even with the odd Shelvey meltdown and Gayle "illness". Mitro out and last minute cheap striker in wouldn't surprise me, if that's the only way to get 8-10M in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
