I'd think that should be resolvable, Drunky.It's not as if RvW has a lot of other options. IMO, once it is resolved, things could move more quickly on City's transfer front.
Christ, if it stalls and eventually fails over 'wage demands', he won't be the most popular guy around Carrow Road as he winds the remainder of his contract down
That's true, 1950, but AN also has to make the most of his transfer budget as a whole. It isn't just about Brady.
We should make him work as a waiter in the restaurant, or maybe selling programmes outside the ground.
Using Rob's '3 times the asset value' for Brady would suggest a final value around £4.2m which sounds about right. This could go up to £5m with add ons, but I'd be disappointed if it went much above that and we miss out on another player because ofd it.
It's a strange one. If he doesn't pull up some trees at a club soon he will find himself unable to find any kind of top tier club. He will end up playing in the Dutch second tier or something. For me, if we can't off-load him he has to given another go. Can't let someone sit there on £40k p/w without even being in the squad.
I'd agree with that Kemp, which probably means we can't make progress on another striker until he's gone.
If we really don't rate him and he offers nothing to the squad, would there be sense in letting him go on a free to get his wages off the books and allow us to sign a proper striker? I suppose it's all in his hands though, he could just sit there on £40k a week. Bollocks!
It would be cheaper to pay the balance of his wages for the next year and allow the move to Sporting Lisbon go through.
I know you can't compare the two but if Murphy is worth £4m to a Championship side Brady must be worth £5m to us especially as he would cover 2 of our problem areas.
Just heard Rob Butler's sport bulletin on Radio Norfolk, evidently Toby Alderweireld has; "signed for Tottenham for £5M for an undisclosed fee"
It depends. We can't predict the exact price anyway. But they are not worthless at all really when you're gauging whether an opening bid is reasonable and whether newspaper reports are complete rubbish. For example, it helps us dismiss the ludicrous suggestion that Hull were demanding £15m for him (which came from a Hull newspaper I believe) but without it we'd be not really wiser and similarly our supposed opening bid of £2m sounds on the face of it derisory, but actually is pretty much spot on for the bottom end of the scale. It's just about context. Ultimately, he'll go for whatever someone pays, but at least it sheds some light on the parameters of the negotiations.
Sorry Dave, but do you mean MM???? Looks like 1p5wich could struggle next year if they've just sold 2 of their better players. REALLY hope RvW and Sporting Lisbon can get their issues resolved and we can move on from this expensive and sorry saga. Also hope DMcN can loosen the purse strings just a little and we do sign Brady.
I think he meant Mccarthy won't see a penny of it, as Marcus Evans will have it in the bank - if he hasn't already done so
