    Wigan can have Mayuka if we get McManaman

    I'd imagine they are .... but wages are probably a huge stumbling block with these players.

    Same here. Great player at Championship level. Good leader and Captain too.

    Yes, but Brighton had him in loan last season so I'd have thought there would be a few more rumours.

    Bet they didn't pay all his wages tho. Wouldn't surprise me if he's on about 18k.

    Probably not, but the same thing can happen again can't it?

    Can't be far off. All our key players were earning £20k or more supposedly, Hammond as captain must've been on a bit.

    Again, Cortese is very bonus-based with his contract structures. So promotion will have counted for something.

    The fact is we were the Man City of league one, paying higher than anyone else in the league was able to and hoovering up the best players at that level. With two promotion pay rises, all of the players we bought then are on a significant wedge now, often double or more what other teams are able or willing to pay. Like Man City, we struggle to offload these overpaid players for that reason.

    I'd be very surprised if we loaned Hammond out this month. Yes, if he's still here, unsold, at the end of the transfer then loaning him out until January wouldn't surprise me. But whilst there's the possibility of selling him, we're surely going to favour that route.

    Would have thought he was the sort of player Nigel would want at Reading. You know what you are going to get and he is a good leader

    From someone "itk", Fonte was only on about 10k in L1 even though he was one of our best players, so there must have been some clean sheet bonuses. He'd have been lucky if he got goal bonuses for that season!

    That's a lot of money for a league one player.

    I don't think that Reading are short on CMs though. I could be wrong, but I don't think they are.
