Probably someone like Arbër Hoxha. We’ve been linked with him recently, played under Jakirović at Dinamo Zagreb and he rated him enough to want him at Kayserispor were it not for their transfer ban. Barry is younger and has a higher ceiling but Hoxha would be cheaper and has also played at a decent level for Dinamo Zagreb and is a full international for Albania. The wages in the HNL are significantly lower compared to the Championship so he’d probably only cost €1-1.5 million in transfer fees and €10-15K in wages.
Unless things posted on here end with the word FACT it's not true. And sometimes even things that are ended with FACT turn out to be bollocks.
Lets hope the brains trust have the brains to recognise the better deal. If this fella was someone similar, we wouldn't be giving away 50% of a sell on fee either.
With Barry, you’re paying an ‘English’ and ‘Premier League’ tax, including the wages. Lots of Premier League academy players are on double or even triple what lots of senior players get paid in the Dutch, Belgian, Croatian etc. leagues. Remember Harvey Vale? He was on £25,000-a-week at Chelsea.
also paying the Philogene tax, with fans and the club alike hoping/expecting the same return on investment
Yep, Deivid Washington is on £20,000 apparently, while Bashir Humphreys was on the same, despite the former only making two league appearances and the latter never touching Premier League grass for them.
I wonder if Gassama could be an option if Barry falls through, not sure which Sheff Wed players qualify to move on a free.
Given the deal seems to be wanting to replicate the Philogene deal, does anyone know off the top of their head what sort of wage Philogene was on here? When he arrived he'd already had nearly 50 games in the Championship, and was well regarded in Cardiff
It's madness how someone can post something with absolutely nothing to back it up and others take it as gospel.
Who is taking it as gospel? Some posters have said if he is wanting 30k Dont want him Not saying he is demanding it Theres a ****ing huge difference But some have the critical thinking skills of a slug and cant determine that Obviously
