Oh don't get me started.
I was trying to work this out myself, they say the PL is worth an extra £150m - Do we assume that all the Watford players are on this sort of wage? If just 11 are then that is just over £45m a year in wages. Then you'll still have your reserve players who have to be on at least £30k a week surely? I'm going to say 10 players on £30k a week so another £15.6m - Without other staff and increased expenditure you are going to be lucky to have £80m to spend on players, it might seem a lot but I was thinking about our current squad, if we went up is £80m worth of signings enough to keep us up?
Everyone’s arguing on other threads, myself I’m wondering what happened to the Man City winger Poveda? Thought he was set to make a decision last Thursday
I agree and 32Red are paying part of Rooneys wages, who knows? They sponsor Derby, Preston, Leeds and Boro realistically only we have a chance of going straight up. They do not sponsor any PL team at the moment, there could be something in it and why remove the tweet.
No I’m not confident, he is short for a striker, no threat in the air and won’t be as quick as Nketiah.
If we were signing someone for the last 15 minutes, I know who I'd advocate signing. Matt Smith. Impact player, tall, built, can head or shoot & is only worth it for 15 mins when everyone else is tired. Add to that, he's cheap & expendable once we go up. My second choice for this role would be Crouch. He's perfect for that. When I listen to him, I still hear boyish enthusiasm. He's there to bring out of retirement if you can excite him. Playing for Leeds with Bielsa & the possibility of being a lifelong legend would surely do that, I feel.
