LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The £850 a week Matty is supposedly paid is his contract before breaking into the first team. As I understand it Matty now wants a wage which reflects his promotion to the first team squad. With his contract coming to an end he can play hardball with NUFC, especially if there are other clubs interested. I read he wants £25K a week. I guess NUFC are trying to avoid another situation where they give a young player who has broken into the first team a fantastic deal against the risk that they could be a flash in the pan.

magorific Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 From the Athletic - Inter, Marseille and a Bundesliga team want him Matty is still on the original professional deal he signed in July 2018, which runs out in June, and is being paid roughly £850 a week. Good money for some but Newcastle’s top earner, fellow midfielder, Jonjo Shelvey, receives almost 100 times that. Also this has to be a mistake. There is no way we are paying Shelvey £850,000 a week. 850*100 ≠ 850,000 = 85,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to give those deals to older players who are proven to be shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I'm not saying the club is correct to not offer Matty a good deal, I'm saying they've been badly burned numerous times before giving big wages and long deals to players they then can't get rid of (Ranger, Aarons, Vučkić, etc).

Guest neesy111 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 25k a week isn't big wages for a PL first team squad member It should be the minimum imo with how much money is around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 25k a week isn't big wages for a PL first team squad member It's not. He's also not been in the first team much (even though some of us may think he should have been over others). You'd think they could give him a contract with a good wage but with clauses to increase his wages based on certain targets. Easier said than done if another team is willing to take the risk on giving him a higher wage and a longer contract straight off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keggy_Keagal Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just give him the fucking money. To think of the amounts wasted over the years on utter dross, it's hardly a king's ransom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I'm not saying the club is correct to not offer Matty a good deal, I'm saying they've been badly burned numerous times before giving big wages and long deals to players they then can't get rid of (Ranger, Aarons, Vučkić, etc). 25k isn't an unreasonable demand in today's climate, especially if other clubs are after him. He looks far more comfortable at first team level than Aarons or Vuckic ever did. Ranger was a terrible waste of talent. The minute he got that contract, he wasn't bothered, but he had the raw ability to have a really good career, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
