Wages will be the problem won’t they?

I imagine he must be on more than 30k. If it’s a permanent deal are we prepared to make him our highest earner by some way on a long deal?
Why would wages be a problem?

If its a loan, a deal will be done with Brentford who would pay a percentage of his wages which is a fair deal for both sides.

If its a permanent signing, he would have a deal sorted that may be lower wages but would include a hefty signing on bonus and include a big bonus for promotion, and then back on to premier wages for next season.

Wages won’t be a problem if we go up, most players we sign will be on at least 50/60k a week easily

Because if we dont get promoted what is his incentive to take a massive pay cut?

He doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to sort out his future.
I would very much like to sign him from Brentford and Ethan Pinnock too while we are at it, because I worry about the holes we have in the centre of the park.

Not yet filing under “pending” however based on a Nigerian soccer site.

They shouldn't really be an issue, sometimes you just have to go for it if you want to get over the line. Smartest thing is to offer the best we can and then an increase upon promotion (which given our position sounds more attractive and realistic than if most other teams offered it.) Just about all of our players wages will increase upon promotion i would imagine.
Thing is you can’t just break your wage structure for one player

And we do have to consider the possibility we don’t go up. Maybe he would go for a promotion incentive based deal, but I imagine the likes of Valencia and Sheff Utd would be able to meet his demands off the bat.

Well surely at some point we do break the wage structure for one player so dont really get this point.

Losing out to Sheffield United at this point would be pretty shameful tbh.

Well no, if we went up we’d have a completely new wage structure with multiple new signings coming in.

If we don’t go up it will remain similar and we probably don’t want one player sitting on a 4 year contract earning 10k more than our next highest earner.

If he were to chose Sheff Utd then it says something about him. Purely driven by money and not a chance of success and another shot at PL football.

If he is our target there’s no reason we shouldn’t get it done, loan with an obligation to buy upon promotion would surely work for all parties. As others have said if we are blown out the water by Sheff U or Birmingham that will be disappointing, if he is a target of course.

In all seriousness mate, and I'm saying this as someone who is a big fan of the owner generally, if we can't present ourselves as more attractive than Sheffield United currently its fucking embarrassing.
I have more faith than you however, I think we'll get it done.

We can present ourselves however we like, rarely means much compared to cold hard cash 😂

No. Our priority is a pacy midfield player with a good engine that can cover quickly defensively. That ain't Gus!

I don’t even think they have to be particularly pacey, but certainly they need to have a good engine / stamina and be athletic.

Sorry mate, we have to at least offer close if we think this player helps us get to the Prem. It's called a calculated risk. I also don't agree its just cash, he could be in the Prem next year with us or in Championship purgatory with Sheffield United.

Imagine the moral in thd squad when our current top earners find he is on more than them
Imagine the morale of the other players seeing another quality player coming in knowing it's another step towards promotion and a bigger chance of winning the Championship. The players will either have it in their contracts that they will get a good pay rise or the players we want to keep would be offered new contracts.

I'm sure every one of our players are more interested in winning the Championship than sulking because for now another player earns more than them.
