He's a young player who's had an exceptional start to the season. He'll be in demand. We either want him for the ride, assuming we're ambitious ourselves, or we don't. It's much easier to keep what you've got than to look to find gems from further afield. If he goes, we'll be unlikely to replace him, and if we do it will cost a lot of money. This is an early test of the new regime - and whilst we do need to be way more sensible and prudent than the bad old days, we also need to see this through for the best interest of the club. Simply refusing to budge isn't always the right thing!

£600 a week surely he’s on more than that

3k was what I was told

 

[Scotty 1978]

3k was what I was told

That sounds more realistic

 

[Notorious Decka]

3k was what I was told

If he's on 3k a week and has knocked back 18k a week after half a season of scoring goals in League 1 then he wants to give his head a shake.

maybe they think its not ambitious to pay someone more than they are worth rather than believe in themselves to find better value elsewhere? he is someone with half a good season in league one who struggled a bit in the higher division.

League One wages are a bit alien to me. There will be young lads on a few hundred a week and seasoned pros on tens of thousands!

Think 4-5kpw is the average in this league.

3k was what I was told

That sounds more believable.

You're entitled to it, but I still think it's a bold statement.

I’m a bold statement kind of guy, courage of my convictions and all that

As I said, just my view but I think I’m a decent judge of a player

and of course your entitled to your view, and its certainly at least as valid as mine, if not more so, lets see what club signs him.

Us

 

[Hmmmmmm returns]

There are lads in the national league on a couple of grand a week. Mental this game. Mental.

you a better judge of a player than every premier league and championship manager and scout?

 

[luvulongtime]

wait and see is his best option, Oviedo might go and wages freed up in Jan. win promotion and season ticket renewal money rolling in etc etc

Bottom half team too!!

My mate who works for the club is adamant that his current deal is only £600/week so at the very best it wouldn’t be more than a tenfold increase.

I was told very similar to this the other week.

 

[kildaremackem]

​

well if none of them want to sign him that would indicate they disagree with your valuation, do you know better?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

A was thinkin the same!!!... if it’s the case he’s literally gettin £60pw more than me?!... less if a work a couple of Saturdays!... cannit see it mind

He was signed from Fulhams academy for our development team and hasn’t had a new contract since so makes sense he’s on very little.

What doesn’t make sense is that when he started to feature on and around the first team we didn’t offer a contract, or offer a contract until well after this season started.

he must have signed apro contract? if he was in the academy he would have been a schoalr right? not a professional, and then he graduates from the academy and becomes a professional, and gets apay rise?

A few points -

1) the big boys can sit back and get more evidence before signing players for whatever price necessary
2) I’ve seen him more than most if not all of the scouts
3) I have no idea how the scouts see him, and neither have you

As I said earlier, it’s my opinion and I stand by it. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right - only time will tell kidda

if scouts arent even looking at him, he would have signed by now, as there would be no other interest.

I’ve no idea, this is getting tedious now

 

[Headingley Slog Fest]

He won’t sign a new contract, there will be offers of twice what we’re offering him on the table.
