True but what if we thought a player was worth £5m and the selling club thought it was double is that our fault? Or if the player reckoned he wanted £20k a week but we wanted to pay £15k and neither the club or the player was ready to meet mid way - how is it the clubs fault?
Hasn't shown up in France yet but was immense in Belgium was linked to big leagues. Would imagine wage wise is well out of reach to be honest.
Ha. It's not the fee that's the issue it's the wages. They are willing to spent good money but I think it will be on European talent due to wage demands.
That will always be the challenge, as they have to balance against what the other players are on vs attracting the next level signing ..and keep everybody happy.
I remember reading about him and watching clips shortly after he moved from Stabaek to Gent. He was on a ridiculous run of scoring a goal a game for half a season or something like that.
Why didn’t we do that with Clarke then? We should have said £25 million or we’re not accepting but we caved in and we’ve lost our best player on the cheap
Cos fans such as yourself would complain that we never brought anyone in! If the rumors are true and we've put a sell on fee on Clarke then we get a percentage rather than paying Spurs the extra.
A 500 quid a week rise to go from reserve football to parachute payment promotion contenders? If they were only offering 8k last season he’d probably be here already, we’ve held an interest for ages and would have doubled that wage for the right player.
Yeah it’s the plane from earlier flew to Lyon and came straight back let’s hope it’s picking up someone for us and not just taking ekwah to asse
No we didn't. We got a very fair fee compared to similar players who have went in the same window. The reason for selling is being able to use that money to improve the team, we will find out at 11pm tomorrow if that part has happened.
