Difficult to see how most L1 clubs could afford to pay £3m under SCMP financial fair play rules

That's true about the wages and I believe he was a great keeper until 2 or 3 years ago Goodness knows what happened to him but he made some terrible rickets playing for West Ham last year People raved when Rooney scored from his own half but it was from a panicky Sunday morning type clearance...

Lee Burge is as good as him these days

Of course it does Wingy What would you do if you were McNulty? His first loyalty has to be to his family From what I heard the deal with Reading will set him up for life unless he's a degenerate gambler

It's quite depressing the way some people look for a scapegoat when something goes wrong The club did all it could to keep McNulty and made a very good offer of an improved contract His agent was able to get a vastly higher deal from a club a division up There are many instances of clubs holding...

A Bristol City fan was on here weeks ago saying this deal would happen - he was also saying they were after Jordan Willis The difference between Eiaa deal and McNulty was that there were several clubs in an auction for Eisa The Reading deal may have been stitched up by the agent as we didn't...

The first rule of negotiation is being ready to walk away If the other side knows you're desperate you'll have your trousers taken down

I think people are getting a bit fixated on this Robins has excellent contacts within the game and will be looking at alternatives We all need to relax

A few of our young players were at the Arsenal including JJ and Corey Aidey They would probably fancy playing against them if JJ is fit by then

The way it looked to me Nick was that he was part of a back three and had been given instructions to keep in shape and not gallop upfield on the overlap

Actually his agent is one of the better ones They prefer young players to be at a club where they will get plenty of game time Don't be surprised if Tom signs a new deal with us

Funnily enough I don't have any specific info at the moment But I do know a few people in the football world who tell me that our club is currently seen as on the up and a good place to go for talented young prospects who want to play men's football We are also offering better contracts than in...

It will all be ok

It's a fact that some of the kids teams will have cost millions of £'s to assemble particularly in the case of Chelsea I think it's been a game changer for the top clubs since they put their u23's into this cup Chelsea even played senior players who they paid over £10m for in earlier rounds but...

I'd guess he won't be on big money Although some Premier League teams pay silly money to top prospects for their first pro contract most of the lesser lights don't As the lad was out of contract he won't have had lots of offers and if his agent is sensible he would advise the kid to accept a...

You could be right It seems the Dujon Sterling loan agreement was in place for a while before it was announced

That's possible but every single signing since Robins arrived has been announced at Ryton with a press release hosted by the manager Robins appears to be calling the shots now so I'd be surprised if there is any change especially as they return in a few days

Nothing is likely to be finalised until Robins and the management team are home from Spain

It was discussed at length on this forum at the time Robins made reference to it at the time without naming anyone

Sounds like the lad has good advice At his age it's best to go somewhere you'll get plenty of game time and play in a system that is likely to create lots of chances
