Downie said the offer was close to £10k/wk. that's about 3 times the going rate for a League 1 player, and higher than a lot of Championship players.

Fuck sake man, league one wages! You never want us to go up to you!

Its also not more than most championship players, he is the top goal scoring teenager in Europe

 

[Fred Basset]

Ha ha how have I missed that. Bloody hell man, it makes our negotiators over the last few years seem almost competent

Look where Leeds went. What I was told was they were opening with 10K over what the opening offer was. *Now before I get taken to the cleaners, I am only passing on a heresay story, I AM NOT SAYING IT IS TRUE.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

It’s a story that’s circulated for years. Not sure if it’s actually true.

See my last post.

Johnson said later Ridsdale's first offer was around twice what he'd have settled for, iirc.

No, that story is not remotely true, as all involved have explained.

The Peter Risdale school of negotiating iirc. Was a story about him offering Seth Johnson a pretty decent wage, mistook the delighted reaction for disappointment and immediately offered 10k more.

That story is not remotely true

he was happy with the money..it was just under 10k a week..there are sgtrikers in the championship not on ythat..he is being linked with huddersfield and palance not real madrid and psg man..

 

[The Rat]

You've spent the past week telling everyone on these threads that "we should give him what he was asking for".
We did.

Are you now saying we should ask what people want and offer them more?

There is no chance he is signing for 7k, and its so embarrassing people saying its 3 times worth the average league one player etc, like that has any relevance to us in the slightest

he was happy with the money..it was just under 10k a week..there are sgtrikers in the championship not on ythat..he is being linked with huddersfield and palance not real madrid and psg man..

What strikers with his potential and ability are on less than 10k?

We are far to soft with players that think they’re bigger than the club
Stick him in the reserves the cheaky twat

 

[minkey]

He's not on £600 a week if 'Sky sources' say he's been offered not far off £10k and it's 7x his current wage.

70k to 500k lovely work if you can get it. £1m to go all the way the EPL (using my best Hannibal Lector voice) and warm the bench.

We have made him a good offer and shouldn’t go higher as that’s why we are in this shite. If he goes, it’s a shame, but good luck to him. I think our paths will cross again though.

I don't agree, and its not why we are in this shite at all.

Its amazing how many know exactly what went on like

Donald's word is absolute gospel somehow.

He is also worth a lot more than 7k

fuck me, who are we gonna sign for 7k if we go up?

 

[mart]

No, that story is not remotely true, as all involved have explained.

Regardless of whether it’s true or not the anecdote is still relevant to how daft your post was.

well at the moment the club have recieved zero offers for him from a higher division so..

I don't agree, and its not why we are in this shite at all.

we know he agreed trhe money because his agent and the club said so..therefore what we offered was the right amount..because he said yes..

No its not, its more total and utter shite posted by you.

You seemingly want the club to have no success.

He is the top goalscoring teenager in Europe, yet you have a strict budget of 7k

Keep making up your stories though

Genuine question?

We don't know what he's on and what he was offered so it's pointless speculating on figures.

One fact that is not speculation is that we negotiated with Maja and his agent in good faith and we offered him exactly what he asked for.
Which is exactly what you said should happen all week.

Let me ask again. Are you now saying we should ask people what they want and offer more?

 

[The Rat]

Bad financial management, it is like!

But offering a top young talent decent wages, whatever that may be, is not bad financial management

All that will happen is he will leave, and we will be going after sub par players for peanut wages

Which is exactly what we did before.

Its about quality not quantity.

I am saying goalposts changed, you have to have a line, but don't set deadlines, maybe he realises he is worth more than 7k?

Which he clearly is

Not see what I mean?

I didn’t realise I was setting the budget.
