Think it is always like this. The only thing it really affects is cash flow, but no different to when we buy a player. It's rarely all paid up front.

Bournemouth were reported to be keen on Matt Ritchie being part of the deal so we will have to see if it is £20million cash plus Ritchie what would the value of Ritchie be ?

Read somewhere that Matt Ritchie is on 60 thousand pounds sterling + a week and has time on his contract. Would he move?

£2.55m incoming then. Hope it gives Robins the cash to get one of his other targets in. Very curious as to what position he’s looking at.

I don’t get the argument that this means we can bring a few more players in. If we have a target that we know will improve the squad then go get them but we don’t need a lot of bodies in now. I’d keep the money in the club and use it in January if we need to.

I think problems have come up when players like Scott Dann, Dan Fox, Kieran Westwood proved themselves but weren’t tied down on longer contracts and essentially all left at similar times for free. That was terrible business
Click to expand...
It’s the same business model as the one we have now and we got fees for both Fox and Dann.
We signed Westwood on a 3 year contract and he repeatably turned down a new contract and left for a PL club at the time.

I agree if you could get Walsh then get him but this is the strongest squad we’ve started a season with in a long time. I don’t want us to pay good money for someone to sit on the bench. Was it Robins that said in League Two time that you can only spend your pound once. Injuries and lack of form will come in midway through the window and we can improve then.

Agree - I suspect if you look at who we've bought/brought in - Walker, O'Hare, Hamer, Osti, Hilssner, Da Costa versus who has left the club -Zainbrooke, Ponti, Ngandu, Walters plus ? (in terms of fees and wages) then we are likely to be a lot in deficit. Throw in the BCD, lack of ticket sales, then(some of) this 'extra money' may already have to be used to balance the books (as was ever thus).

The argument is Robins has said he’s after two more depending on budget and our budget just went up.

I agree I can’t see where desperately needs it, which is why I’m curious as to who Robins has seen who can improve the side.

If that wages website was to be believed we've saved 5k a week wages on hiwula. Throw in some Wilson money and we could look for Walsh. However perhaps some of this will be used for tools for stadium planning?

It’s not accurate - a whole football teams wages aren’t in the public domain

I have a different recollection to you. I seem to remember we only got round to offering Westwood a new deal in the final January of his contract. Pretty sure the same happened with Gunnarsson too.

It will have nothing to do with it. Fraser is also in talks and out of the two Newcastle are more likely to do well

With only 12 months left on the contract it’s always a risk a good player will wait it out to go on a free and get a better deal on wages. We should’ve done it after the first season or 18 months point, we all knew he was good at that point

from memory I thought they even went free or very cheap because their contracts didn’t have long to run

At the risk of repetition, a club in our financial situation, that is rising quite successfully, and turning over players quite frequently (this year's likely line up could have up to 4-5 newcomers) ....does not need to be encumbered with long term contracts in the vague hope there will be a sell on. The guys to lock in are the promising youngsters like Bapaga.

Biamou is a case in point. How much better if we had been able just to release him and say thank you.

Thats true, but back when we were last in the championship we seemed to let the good players go cheaply or for nothing and had the crap players on long term contracts we couldn’t get rid of. We are much better now as a club at contract negotiations, things have improved greatly in that respect.

Dint he go to a few games last season.

Hopefully the deal gets done soon. So if we do get some £ to spend we have time to spend it
