To be fair, Redknapp has done his fair old share of unsettling players through his media chums too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fans who expect us to splash the £35M from the Carroll transfer without even thinking who we could sign and if they would be the correct signing for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Always comes up at the end of the season when injury-hit players are given up on by their clubs. Pay as you play deals. How many of these fucking things actually happen? They're mentioned by the press and fans alike as if they're a regular occurance when you see like one a year, if that, happen.

Yorkie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Fans who expect us to splash the £35M from the Carroll transfer without even thinking who we could sign and if they would be the correct signing for the club. I would like to see the entirety of the Carroll money put back into the squad, and I would rather leave any incomings in the hands of the manager and scouts (I think it's their job or summat)... rather than providing the club with my own suggestions. Do you (pet) hate me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to illustrate how unlikely it is. There are none, I'll tell you that for free. That is also not what is referred to when people talk about a "pay as you play" deal, it is a higher appearance bonus to compensate for a lower 'basic' wage.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 But surely appearance bonuses with a low basic wage are what the mean by "pay as you play" It would be immoral to just not pay the bloke anything. EDIT: What Gupter says realy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 FFS, I don't care. I was just agreeing that people saying "let's sign so and so on a pay as you play deal" was one of my pet hates because it suggests that it is common/likely, which I disagree with.
