Do or have any other clubs relegated from the PL have wage reductions drawn into player contracts? If they do, we don't hear about them all having buy out clauses? Or is it just City that have been naive in the way that the contracts have been structured?

They'd be naive if they didn't - like we were last time we got relegated & were in financial meltdown.

Do we actually need any more midfielders even if Hudd goes? Big if, but if we get Livermore back soon and Diame doesn't leave, is another midfielder really necessary?

We don't need more, just better creative ones.

Google "why is there a transfer window" the second article is an explanation of where it comes from and the purpose of it.

Thanks. I've now read that. I don't think the window is a good way to deal with the issues. They could insist on long contracts to get round the short term contract problem, for example. I just don't think that having all these panicky decisions in the last day of the window is sensible.
 
Is it just me or is Bruce constantly chirping on about our players with clauses in their contracts.. almost every interview now he's saying it..

If it was me, and I genuinely wanted to keep these players, why would you make it public knowledge that so many of our players can leave for a reasonable price because they have buy out clauses... you'd keep schtum

Just strikes me as odd... unless of course its very obvious reverse psychology? and he's putting certain players in the shop window.

He knows that the players agents have already approached every club in sight.

He would do well to just keep quiet and progress his business: if anyone can see a benefit in him speaking out then let me know what it is.
 
I just read that Austin is on £25k per week now and is wanting £45k per week.
Alan Pardew thought that Connor Wickham for £8m represents better value than Austin for £15m. I don't agree.
