Knowing how the PL works these days, Id say there is every chance he's on that money. It's ****ing madness what some kids get paid before even kicking a ball these days
You honestly think when they give Broadhead a new 2 year contract last year that they decided to give him 34k just before they sent him out on loan to us?
 
If that is what they’re paying out I can see them heading down a similar path we did if they’re not careful

They've been on that slippery path for a while. I'm sure I read somewhere Moshiri has spunked the neck end of £500m already on a side that just escaped relegation by the skin of its' teeth,crazy and frequent manager appointments,and still the stadium to sort. They're in a mess.

£500m Jesus, money really doesn’t guarantee success does it

If premier league clubs hand out £35k a week contracts to players that are prospects coming through their youth structure and not even made the first team yet then the money being chucked about is more ****ed than I thought. Got to be bollocks surely?
Agree with this. Absolutely mental if he is on that. Football is ****ed
 
Yes, it entirely possible and probable. The money in the PL is a joke
Yeah, it's always going to be 'possible' as premier League clubs can afford it. It's hardly realistic.

Premier League clubs don't pay up and coming prospects 34 grand a week.

It is not probable. How can you even use the word probable? Care to show your workings out?

:emoticon-0102-bigsm Some of these bright businessmen never learn. Doctor Death after 11 years as manager left in 2013,since then they've had 7 others,not including 4 spells of caretakers, with the accompanying player movements. Crazy.

Care to show YOUR workings out as to why it isn't possible/probable/factual?

Just because you don't believe something, doesn't make it true. Are you that arrogant?

Premier league youth team lads don't average 34k per week. That's why it isn't probable.

I'm not arrogant. I'm also not dolly dimple.

Nathan Broadhead is 24 years old. He isn't a "youth team lad"
Premier League teams pay ridiculous wages these days
Unless you have evidence of what he IS on, then your argument is baseless

Okay. Clubs now 'probably' pay 34k to lads who have come through their academy and can't cement themselves in their first team squad.
 
Watmore was a crock here and is playing regularly now, have to hope if he does come in our physios etc can get to the bottom of his issues and manage him properly
Aside from the injuries, how’s watmore getting on now? Saw him once or twice last season and seemed to play well, but was playing off the bench.
 
I have no idea what NB would be on, however I remember seeing the wage list from SAFC a few years ago (accidentally on the laptop of a person who was a board member at the club) and was proper shocked. It was from the 2007-08 season and clocked that the lowest first team squad earner back then was 22k per week. given that 14 years have passed and even more money is sloshing around the PL, 34k per week could be right. But we'll probably never know.
