Spot on. Smacks of agents seeing this lot coming, and the same headless chicken approach they applied to the manager/DoF search once the penny dropped that blood money & Staveley's bullshine wasn't going to be enough to persuade elite candidates to drop everything and move to a bang average club in the middle of nowhere.

Good thing is now they've set a precedent to show clubs/players what they're willing to pay for an aging plodder like Wood, the going rate for decent players with years ahead of them just muliplied exponentially.

That's being generous this season.

Perhaps you are correct. Probably take a punt on a Championship striker. With £25m in bank they will be charged over the odds as well. Still be cheap if it means they stay on gravy train.

I honestly think Burnley never believed in their wildest dreams that someone would pay £25m for him.

Norwich fans not exactly gutted at the thought of Cantwell leaving for the mags :lol:

Buying a 1% share in the club went well it was always a glorified charity fundraiser to boost the egos of those behind it

There's plenty of players that plenty of clubs would want.
I'm not saying we can command massive fees for them but that's irrelevant.
Then we have players on big contracts who are riding them out because they know they won't get bigger one's anywhere else for their quality or lack of it.

Unfortunately it's the nature of the beast that football authorities put into place and it comes back to bite clubs. the Bosman ruling was the final nail in that coffin.
That ruling forced clubs to offer silly long contracts for fear of losing players too early for nothing.
The problem was it offered players a set wage to sit on on the back of it.



But perfect for a pairing with him.
But as a replacement, he's not a replacement for Wilson, he's a different type of striker than Wilson. He's an avenue we've been begging for as an end product, so it's all good assuming everything goes to plan.

That's what agents do. Very few if any will sit there and negotiate a bad pay day for their player and themselves.
It's horse for courses.
Get a well run club on a budget and negotiate on that basis.
Get a moneybags club and you negotiate in a higher bracket.

That's football.
2.5 years is fine.
They aren't players being bought for sell on fees. They're players being b ought to do a job of keeping us up and adding a bit of squad depth if we do...or being more than fit for purpose if we don;t stay up, in terms of getting us back up quickly.

Looking at it from those points I'd say it's clever.

He's hardly a cart horse. Have you seen him play?

Well that agent wants to put Slavery's eyes back in the right way when he's finished :lol: :lol: :lol:
