http://www.newsatden.co.uk/10849-garston-millwall-matched-leicester-pound-for-pound.html if what pete is saying is correct that we matched Leicester £ for £ in all departments including wages then all i have to say to wood is you are a mug!! The money Leicester have will mean if they get promotion wood will move down their ranks very rapid when they bring in big players once they are up He couldnt make it at W.B.A. in the prem so why does he think he will at Leicester LETS ALL HOPE LEICESTER FAIL
There must be more to it, free packs of Walkers chucked in or something, maybe Leicester is a nice place to live?
He will be used in an attempt to get them up. then once they are up he will be ditched chose them for premiership football for what half a dozen games if he is lucky
Exactly mate so **** him. He'll hope they don't go up this season just to got more games next season! So he might as well as stayed with us!
It shows ambition but should we be worried that we're offering £20k a week wages as it's a very slippery slope only on 10k/12k crowds Different if we're selling out every home even if the away showing is ****
I might be wrong but Woods said he joined Leicester because he believes he has a better chance of premiership footy with them Isnt the club he left already in the premiership If he had no hope with W.B.A. He will have less hope with Leicester and thats IF they go up
To be fair to Wood - we don't know what was being whispered in his ear from his agent etc - don't think the decision was entirely his - perhaps Leicester were willing to give his agent more dosh
More dosh all round - JB offered WBA a take it or leave it £1M final offer - Leicester doubled that. We offered to match his WBA £20k pw wage - Leicester lumped on another 50%. We made a £3.6M loss last season, they made a £15M loss. We are 1 point behind them in the league because we have Jackett and they have that clown Pearson. Wood is in the form of his life at the moment because of KJ and the Wall mentality - give him a month with Pearson and his overpaid overpriced prima-donna's and his value will be back to £500K like it was before he came to us
At a guess his agent whispered "go to Leicester" Who do we want KJ to sign then? Church has been mentioned, and some bloke in Scotland who's scoring a lot of goals or maybe we do a Liverpool and sign no one.
Just read we're after Lewis Grabban. Not sure we should be after a player who we considered not good enough a few years back. He has done well at Bournemouth but not the same as playing in the Championship.
To be honest all the names being punted around mean nothing KJ will have someone in mind and we probably wont know who that is until they sign
good to see you're taking it well Treat yourselves to a pint of bitter to help you forget it all. Maybe a handful of sour grapes, too
Wonder what the rest of our team think of him arfter supplying him the the passes to score and saying there not good enough bet it didn't go down to well, no doubt his agent got a pretty penny out of it.
