I guess the likes of McGoldric and Hairyhands have had many seasons on high wages and could be happy to sacrifice a bit of dough for and interesting “project” at a nearby team (assumption they have houses not that far away) with good facilities. Where as Collins has just had a short championship spell with for the first time high wage and quite reasonably would prefer similar to what he was on at Cardiff Millenniumram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see players who just want to play football. Collins wage I would think is lower, so we may be able to afford to meet it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see players who just want to play football. Collins wage I would think is lower, so we may be able to afford to meet it anyway. There’s more than just wages involved in a football transfer for example both those two lads were mainly sat on a bench last season and it’s a good sign that they actually want to play regularly in addition to the fact that they are very local to our area for travel to work and may well have wives who don’t want to move house just for a couple of years or have to move possible children away from school or friends. There’s also another reason - we are still a very big club and both saw the support we gave the team both home and away last season and might fancy a similar atmosphere.

The only real question is what other clubs are offering them. A lot of clubs are struggling post-COVID, and will be cutting their spending accordingly. If we're competing with the likes of Luton and Huddersfield, then I doubt they are offering them similar terms to what they were on last season either.

Absolutely, it’s good to see players making moves based on reasons other than just money. Would add that McGoldrick was born in Nottingham so makes sense to stay local rather than move to Middlesbrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I don’t expect either have been offered their previous wages matched by anywhere. But I do feel Championship clubs will still be offering decent money, so I’m pleasantly surprised they’ve chosen to come here instead. duncanjwitham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would add that McGoldrick was born in Nottingham so makes sense to stay local rather than move to Middlesbrough. He lives near me in Bramcote on same estate where Jozefzoon used to live. Think Cyrus Christie rented there as well at one point. Easy access to a52 he could be at Moor Farm in 15 mins on a good day. Shows footballers are professionals and we shouldn’t expect them to have same ideals as fans given McGoldrick grew up a red dog and played for Forest, they treated him badly though given he wasn’t exactly good for them hence his nickname McGoaldrought. I think he’s a great signing, intelligent player, a team player, will get the best out of others even if he doesn’t get loads of goals himself. Signing him and potentially Collins shows plan a is to have a number 9 playing with back to goal and bringing others into play, a tactic that served us well for a long time until we lost a certain number 9.
