Disco Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think Jose definitely takes a wage out of the club the greedy foreign bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One of the NE journalists on twitter said Jose isn't on big wages like Barton, Smith etc. Hopefully that's true and the contract we offer puts him on a par with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One of the NE journalists on twitter said Jose isn't on big wages like Barton, Smith etc. When a swap deal with McManus at Celtic was proposed in 2009 (yes, really!), the suggestion was that Jose turned it down because it would have meant a 50% drop in wages. Celtic's wage ceiling in recent years has been widely acknowledged as being 20k a week. Ergo, Jose isn't on more than 40k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Although Enrique's absolutely mint (and still my favourite player), at times it feels pointless as we're still putting in some shocking performances (Stoke, Bolton etc.) and are nearly in a relegation scrap. His quality is wasted if the rest of our team plays like that. Wisely spending his transfer fee would stop us getting into those situations, even if it leaves us with a slightly worse LB. Then again, selling quality like Enrique and Carroll makes us worse and hence we get these shocking performances. I guess it all comes down to your view on how replaceable players are and how much faith you have that we'll spend money well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was in response to someone who insisted he would be on 70k a week a la Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Not likely, first of all, Enrique signed the same year as Barton, which puts both under the same "salary regime"= hurling money out the window. Second, Enrique was very sought after when we bought him. The newspapers were stunned that he actually signed for us, because other successful clubs were after him. That leads me to conclude that he signed because we offered him more money than any other clubs involved. But I don't think the main obstacle for Enrique. He wants the club to match his ambitions. Really? Which newspapers? I dont remember that at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well, the journo is probably right. Smith and Barton are probably on around £60k, Enrique probably £40k. Whether £40k a week is big wages to him or not ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Of course not, stupid I just used previous salary policy as an argument for why it's likely that Enrique is paid around 50-60 a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he only he signed because we offered him more money than any other clubs involved. You said that kind of salary regime = hurling money out the window. You have repeatedly said how great the new wage structure is. The new wage structure would almost certainly not allocate the £50-60k a week you claim he is on to a young foreign fullback unproven in the PL. I can only conclude therefore you'd rather we hadn't signed him in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
