Im in the minority on here thinking we wont break the low-mid 100ks this summer then, I guess time will tell. I just feel its not about what we CAN pay players, its what we will pay players.. not a case on if we can afford it, its a case of keeping the squad harmony intact.

It will be structured I’m sure, but if they wanted a key player they can be flexible, but I’m sure the plan is to work within a progressive structure ideally.

Ikon Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) @Nine Am I dreaming if I think we will offer more than 120k/week? Yeah right… We won’t splash the cash around on anything and everything for the sake of it. However if the right top quality player is available with the right mentality and just ticks the boxes in most ways then we will offer more than 120k/week, without a shadow of doubt. If that’s what it takes to get the deal done. Edited April 24, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that to an extent, a push towards mid 100ks maybe at most. But as I said before - players on 200k or more this summer? No way.

Guest HTT II Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Just say Rashford come available and was wanting 200k, do you think the club would say nah, our max is 120k as we don’t want to upset the likes of Murphy on 40k or Shelvey on 80k? You have to remember the better and more important players the club signs, the bigger the exposure and commercial opportunities also come with that.

macphisto Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The idea we're not going to go much above a wage structure set by Mike Ashley is baffling. With regards to Bruno, we've no idea what his salary is or what he received as a signing-on fee; there may also be other ways to pay someone, for example family members. But lets not kid ourselves, a Brazilian international isn't going to come to Newcastle when relegation was a real threat unless he's getting very well paid. He knows he would have had other clubs to choose from this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I can see us offer whatever if we feel the player is worth it. I don’t mean 200k+ Now already. Edited April 24, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer 200k is to much imo, dressing rooms can be fragile especially when it comes to money and ego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of our players will know they are unlikely to get anywhere near what they are on elsewhere and I’m sure the club can enforce stipulations where players cannot discuss their contracts/wages etc. Huge discrepancies in salaries are common at most clubs and in lots of other industries. Messi on whatever he was on at Barca compared to say anyone else at the club… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Messi Barca comparison is a bit different to where we are right now lol, just out of interest and for the sake of it - hypothetically say we get offered Benzema this summer but he'd want 350k pw, do you think we'd say yes?

gbandit Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 What was the name of that academy lad they bought off us who was meant to be a good prospect? We’ll have him back if he’s pushed on, other than that absolutely no one. Horrific squad of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) RE Rashford @macphisto Aye it’s alarming but he’s suffered with injuries over the past year or so which he’s played on with and he’s not alone in how poor he’s been at Man Utd. I think he’s having a crisis of confidence and in a bit of a rut, a move would do him the word of good. Rashford here would be a huge coup and good for our club’s profile, image and ability to maximise sponsorship opportunities. I’d have Saka over him, mind… Edited April 24, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you double downed, moved the target and blamed others interpretation. Anyway. An Adjusted goalpost later, I do agree with you and your sentiment.
