Some big deals going on in the Championship... John Percy @JPercyTelegraph Middlesbrough and Stoke are in talks with Newcastle over a potential deal for winger Matt Ritchie. Will be around £15m.
Yes, they will certainly be going down, just like the other clubs some of our fans would be going down over the past couple of seasons - Burnley, Bournemouth, Brighton, Huddersfield, Watford and other little clubs not worthy enough to lace the boots of the players at our big club.
Apprentely Leeds are gonna bid 11 million for Vydra, he will be on 20k plus a week. Why would you not just go for Hernandez?
Because he wants £3-4m a year in wages, along with a signing on fee, he's pricing himself out the market.
Plus an £11m 'fee' can be classed as an asset (with a potential sell on value) and strengthens the clubs balance sheet, whereas salary and signing on fees are classed as variable overhead, and represent a liability. A club can get more creative with a transfer fee which they can't with a salary, all relevant when fair play rules and regs are considered.
