A fair amount, although the youth players released won't have been on much of a wage, their contracts are mostly appearance and incentive based and the basic wage is fairly low. I thought Oli was closer to 30k to be honest, wonder how much Sheffield Wednesday will be paying him...
Oli had a relegation clause, we were paying him less than £20k. The released players have apparently saved us £60k a week.
McCourt is garbage. Set the place alight the first few games he played, then downhill from there. The Celtic fans would pay his train fare down to Hull, they hate him. Forster is ok, but I think we can get better. It could be a few players, Izaguirre the left back who's v v good, could even be Ledley or Hooper.
The only celtic player we can get is ledley, commons or stokes and possibly forster... **** the first three
Have to say I'm a little surprised to read some of the comments on here about Zaha. This could turn out to be a classic "egg on face" moment but I reckon he will be one of England's mega-stars in a few years.
I think he proved a lot of people wrong yesterday, including myself. Its' the first time i've seen him perform though.
Didnt somebody just say he aint worth 2m on here lol!!!! Quality performance yesterday, thought his final ball was lacking in the first half but he soon grew into the game, as for beating his man he took the piss out of Watfords Rightback time and time again a 30+ year old veteran with 5 caps for Italy, rated as one of the best in the championship by some. Big things to come from Zaha especially with the coaching set up at United, and players he'l be surrounded by everyday. Just hope the likes of Sterling, Zaha and Oxlaide-Chamberlain dont fizzle out and can go on to produce for England, Imagine those 3 behind a decent striker , pace to burn.
List of all out of contract players across all leagues here if anybody wants a nosey some interesting ones. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spieler/vertragsende/basics_GB2_2013.html
Zara is brilliant on the ball, but his decision making is ****. Kevin Phillips straight after the game, 'he's a great talent, but he's got a lot to learn'. If Man United can stop him trying to play through three defenders, when there was a perfectly simple pass to be made, he could be a great player. I'd still rather have Ince though.
Several of those listed have already been offered new deals, or have already found new clubs and the Bridcutt one is wrong(he's signed until 2015).
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8739520/ that's our defensive pairing for next season sorted then
#hcafc have today completed the permanent signing of George Boyd from Peterborough United, following his successful loan spell last season
Boyd, who was out of contract in the summer at London Road, has signed a two-year deal with the Tigers #hcafc
His legs seems totally random, he can wave them about at crazy speed which sometimes results in a really good quick turn but other times the ball ends up behind him, like when he went through one-on-one yesterday, late on (might have been ET in fact) but his first touch consisted of about 7 wacky stepovers with the ball ending up behind him and let defenders catch him up. Agree about Ince.
