@Saddlebrains any truth Eccles is going to Werder Bremen?
Where’d you see that?@Saddlebrains any truth Eccles is going to Werder Bremen?
Thats Sheaf, Simms and Eccles gone today.@Saddlebrains any truth Eccles is going to Werder Bremen?
Lad at work mentioned it today, supposedly mates with one of the analysts.Where’d you see that?
Id file that under bull
If someone wants to pay top dollar for player that has plenty of years on his contract then fair play. Sheaf might want to leave but he doesn’t hold the cards for a move. I suspect we will respect his decision to move and he will have to respect the transfer value.
Torp is here and we’ve seen glimpses of his quality. His cameo against Utd showed what he’s all about.
Money comes in and we reinvest in more assets. We’ve got to keep building.
Yeah fair enough, with the goals thing I was more thinking about how a quality midfielder like Hamer was so involved in goals and assists last season whereas this season we’re relying on strikers/wingers quite a lot more.Not sure the goals argument is valid.
Gyokeres and Hamer scored 33 between them last year.
Wright and Simms have 38 and Sakamoto was was on course to score more than Hamer before his injury.
The issue is depth as others have said but we're in a much better position than previous years. Realistically 5 quality additions and the squad looks more than capable to be pushing top 6. Normally we're talking about needing 9/10/11 players.
Ah, so he was on £23k/week at BC and £25k/week at Chelsea. That's definitely not considerably less!“£1.2 million is around £1 million?” Really?
For someone who’s usually very sceptical on wage numbers when they’re reported, you’re suddenly very trusting in Somerset’s answer to Andy Turner.
Court documents from his Chelsea days aside, the numbers are all over the place - we never usually give them credence. The only reason to take them as gospel is so we can stick the boot in on Palmer.Ah, so he was on £23k/week at BC and £25k/week at Chelsea. That's definitely not considerably less!
That's right. The cards are with us. Unless someone is willing to pay what would be well over the odds, he stays. Sheaf has come back from injury, and as our captain, our form has fallen off a cliff under his watch (again). He now wants to demand a move. That seems to be accepted and well-wished, which is just strange given the frothing over COH who has worked until the end of his contract. I still back us to be stronger next year, we need better leadership anyway, and think we could do better than both COH and Sheaf with a little bit of investment. We're playing in a different category of transfers now, so don't think we should wet the bed any time soon. Think the summer will prove good.

I’m not saying our midfielders should be popping goals in for fun but you’d like to think that they’d get more than only a handful of goals between them across the season. And this isn’t a Hamer-love comment it’s just saying that we need more quality in midfield, particularly on the ball.
Two new usernames in one day Boosh?There will be a lot of 'surprising' incomings in the Summer. Not ones that typically match our model. Let's wait and see!

Just trying to establish how we’ve become so certain about what we’re paying him - you said it was court documents, turns out it was nothing of the sort. But well done for establishing what his wages were five years ago!It seems at least 4 other posters acknowledge this as fact as well. The funny thing is an award winning journalist (snigger) needed someone to help him with Google search to find the information. He was paid that at Chelsea (fact)
Bristol had to pay £3.5 for Chelsea to let him go. I’m sure Palmer would then settle for a wage reduction to move from Chelsea to Bristol - well he wouldn’t and didn’t. He rejected Cardiff as they wouldn’t match the wages
Bad day at the Basildon?
Surely it’s Ant-Man vs the WASPGrendel vs SBT is like Alien vs Predator.

Werder fuck do you get that from?@Saddlebrains any truth Eccles is going to Werder Bremen?
Of course we’re relying on wingers more, we didn’t play any last year!Yeah fair enough, with the goals thing I was more thinking about how a quality midfielder like Hamer was so involved in goals and assists last season whereas this season we’re relying on strikers/wingers quite a lot more.

No, but they may well get paid more than entities in the Championship. At which point it’s not about the playing, it’s about the money. Which may be fair enough. Personally, I wouldn’t have wanted to be regularly shown as incompetent or even merely average at my job (when I worked),
Sheaf will decide if he stays or goes, if an offer comes in. Pretty much every club ever can’t hold onto an unhappy player. Absolutely, the club has the right to force the price but that process has it’s limitations.If someone wants to pay top dollar for player that has plenty of years on his contract then fair play. Sheaf might want to leave but he doesn’t hold the cards for a move. I suspect we will respect his decision to move and he will have to respect the transfer value.

Yeah of course, I’m just saying it’d be nice if the whole team (bar the defence obviously) had the ability to shoot accurately or chip in with assists. The midfield are literally just there for passes completed atm, they don’t really worry the keeper much, just a lot of faffing around the opposition’s box and losing of the ball.Of course we’re relying on wingers more, we didn’t play any last year!

although players like Kelly and Eccles are alright they rarely look like causing the opposition problems.
Well the Bristol City manager at the time said that Palmer made sacrifices to join them.
Which one can only assume means financially.
Though as you were apparently in the room during the negotiations I'm sure you can shed some light on what those sacrifices were.
ffs are you a lawyer or something -Im still waiting for the evidence he is on £19k a week
