Compared to who? We've seen the money forest are offering. The don't go up and they are in **** street. Villa gambled. **** street. Only three go up, he'll of a lot of clubs will be in trouble soon. Wensdee another.
They've haven't all gone to clubs spunking loads on wages, Rangers, AIK, Vitesse Arnhem, Reading, they're hardly footballing powerhouses. Individually you can make excuses for those decisions, he wanted to go home, he wanted a new challenge, he wanted to go back to his boyhood club etc, but collectively, to not manage to sign any of them, shows there's an issue. What do reckon Clark's on at Vitessse? I reckon it's less than £3k a week, which is brilliant if you're a plumber, but **** if you're a professional footballer.
We didn't want Clark. We did for the compo. It was more than he's worth. What happened to all those championship clubs circling him. Adam had a slash and burn policy when he came back, rightly so, with all the stupid contracts duffen gave out. The Allams are doing exactly the same now. Football is unsustainable without a rich benefactor willing to spunk his own money. Fact.
larsson been in england for 16 years, wanted to return to his native land mcgregor could never turn down rangers and play infront of 40K+ every home game what more could meyler achieve at city anyway, was always going to move on
Bit too positive I know. City deserve credit for moving fast to acquire exciting recruits Football columnist Peter Swan reviews Hull City's transfer business so far please log in to view this image Making early inroads in the transfer market isn’t what Hull City have been known for in recent years. Before this summer the club have made a tradition of leaving it later in the transfer window, bringing a host of players into the club in the last few days of the market. However, this summer is different, I don’t know if it’s because of the change in deadline day perhaps that could have forced the club’s hand a little, but with two and a half weeks to go until the Tigers host Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, City have six signings in the bag. There’s time to spare. There’s no nervous energy and no sweating ahead of a fast approaching deadline, instead City look to be well on their way to approaching the season well prepared and that has to be a positive for the head coach, the players and indeed the fans. The recruitment team have clearly been hard at work over the last 12 months, keeping an eye on talent which may be available on the cheap and could strengthen Nigel Adkins’ hand. With the exception of Eric Lichaj who has spent the last five seasons playing regularly with Nottingham Forest, of the players to arrive so far Championship experience is hardly in abundance. please log in to view this image Hull City's Eric Lichaj is not afraid to aim high during his first season at the KCOM Stadium But, it’s not as if any of them have been sat not playing. The club’s last five additions all spent time out on loan last season, playing at different levels throughout Europe, and the fact that they were all keen to get out of their parent club permanently is a good sign for me. All five are under the age of 24, the five latest recruits all have one thing in common. They’re hungry, eager to make a name for themselves and at a pivotal age in their career. While I accept the Tigers have hardly landed recognised talent, every player has the potential to add something to the squad and that excites me. Of course there is still more business to be done before Adkins can sit back and look out over a squad filled with all the attributes needed to be able to compete in a 46-game Championship season, but the signs have been encouraging so far. Bids are being placed, progress is being made and for once there is a positive atmosphere around the club heading into the new season. Long may it continue.
It seems we offer ok deals to players we want to sign, but not players we want to retain. Doesn't make sense otherwise.
Because he was on too much and it was the right time for him to move on. Wasn't a regular starter either.
Clark is supposedly getting 10k a week now. Source is my Dads next door neighbour who is mates with him.
The There seems to be some money in Holland this summer....Blind for £14m, not often that sort of money is paid out (unless its young talented) Just checked it is a record paid out....but Ajax did receive 70m euros last summer for Klaassen and Sanchez
Not a chance, only the top players in the Eredivisie get that sort of money, the average wage there is less than in the SPL.
View attachment 99304 Surprises me. Average salary in the Swedish league for a good player (good player in a top half team) will get at least 8K I believe.
This is almost four years out of date now, but just as a rough guide... please log in to view this image
Nick Daws on our interest in Conor Townsend... “I believe we have had some interest,” Daws told BBC Radio Humberside. “If any bid has been put in, it’s not what the club are willing to accept. “Any player in any club, if there’s interest from levels above and then that’s matched with a bid or an offer that matches or exceeds the level we would be looking for, then it becomes a challenge. “That’s something that managers all over the country are dealing with at the moment. “To all intents and purposes it does make it more challenging but Conor is contracted to us and he’s enjoying his football. “He’s still our player. He’s under contract for another 12 months as a minimum and we want him to stay. As it stands, that’s where it is at the moment. I hope Conor is with us not only this season but beyond that.” Asked if he was confident Townsend would stay with the Iron, Daws added: “That’s a difficult one to say. I have not been told by my chairman or chief executive that we have accepted a bid for him so I can’t say any more than that.”
