Love this.

HT2 posts a figure, even he says he doesn’t know if it’s accurate, and that figure is immediately seized upon as a truth, hypothetically or not, and used to beat the transfer policy of the Club with.

Local media intimated it was around 30-35k and I really would be shocked if the EFL sanctioned a 55k p/w deal for us considering the financial policing we were under at the time.

It happens quite a bit when really the answer is nobody knows.
 
SYD...... probably just web site hissing, apparently we are/were looking at ELI ADAMS (Aleague) but maybe he was on 'the other' list... and not the Prem league list...
 
If we weren’t under an embargo and signed Mcburnie for a 1.5 million fee and 25k a week , nobody would have batted an eyelid and it’s same outlay
yea but the money goes to him
hes earning 50k a week
while other players are earning far less
would mcburnie have performed worse on 20k a week?
no
he just chose us cause we paid him a ****ing fortune

and the fans earn even far less

thats my point i guess
once you get to the prem, it becomes ridiculous and i lose all connection with them i guess
thats just me

it just becomes silly money, normal folk cant even fathom
i guess thats when i lose connection with the players
i cant really cheer players earning 6 figures a week, goes against all my morals
that amount of money is just obscene

Is it that different to watching an actor in a film, who is earning millions. I guess you don't support an actor as such

You're right that it's a huge wage, but the money is in the system and is it not better that the 'front of house' are earning the largest share of it, rather than apparatchiks in the background.

Anyway, McBurnie is just spending his wage on a full body tattoo, Lewis Vooton man purses, ****ting on Jordan in Dubai, a mansion that looks like Haltemprice and bottles of Carling .. no different to the average man in his 20s.

I'd say he's adjusted well to European football, but you just know he'll be a Brentford player once Matthew Benham switches his phone on. I'd pay £10m for him, he genuinely looks ****ing class.
Yeh him and Osorio.

I like the look of Breum at Go Ahead Eagles aswell.
