Jimbo Ram Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 29 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: Why did I compare us to Plymouth? They got promoted last season and that's our target this season. You say we need to sell Bird and/or Knight to add more goals to our midfield. I showed you we don't need to, based on the goals from the two teams which earned automatic promotion last season. You think you didn't compare Bird to Bannan, but stated "I don’t see Bird as a Bannan type midfielder he’s not quick or defensively astute at times". That's a comparison, and an incorrect one at that. You state Bird and Knight don't get enough goals, but ignore that balance is achieved by having someone like Hourihane in there. Bird and Knight would be in there for greater defensive contribution, and in Bird's case, greater open play creativity. Bielik is a different style of DM. As I've proven in many ways, Bird matches every L1 playing the same role in the team in a 2 man midfield. Bielik has a worse goal contribution than Bird too, despite being introduced to first team football 2 years later.

The_Sheriff Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 2 hours ago, Nuwtfly said: Because all the players signed last season were on quite strict wage restrictions if I’m not mistaken, and that was way below £12K a week Without checking i think it was publicised we were capped at 12k. Hourihane being our star signing probably hit that. The likes of lawrence and bielik were likely on 20k plus. Waghorn not too far behind that just to name a few. Dont forget we paid top 6 'championship type wages' for a lot of our buys when gunning for promotion to the premier league. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathcairns Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 8 hours ago, Ambitious said: They will be amongst our highest earners, the restriction on wages for players coming in will see to that. It’s obviously our expectations that drive frustration, but on one hand we know how good they can be and we’ve seen how good they can be. If we had just signed them as free agents, released by Championship clubs, the expectation would therefore be much lower. I don’t think anyone is saying they struggled to compete in League One or they aren’t good enough - we didn’t get enough from them and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying that. You’re within your right to expect more from Jason Knight than you are Korey Smith, for example. Cant work out how anyone really knows what any players wages are, unless they have seen their payslips. Its presumably guesswork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the EFL restrictions in full please state them. And is it beyond the realms of possibility that you could not be mistaken? If so you have a very big brain for a ducking fly.

This is an absolutely bizarre response to my reply to you - the words hissy-fit come to mind! As has already been pointed out by other posters, the website you’re referring to is notoriously wide of the mark. If you want to see what the restrictions were you can go onto Google and give them a read yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Burden of proof might be on you here to prove why a random website will have the private salary figures rather than everyone to say why they wouldn’t. If we are just believing random things on the internet then we could get Oldben in here. angieram, Carnero, Ramarena and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram@Lincoln Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 For me it's all pure guess work and stabs in the dark. For example, if everyone in my office guessed my wage I'm sure there would be a massive range in value. Then it comes down too which salary do you take as gospel. For the footballers, like with the regular 9-5, the only ones that know your wage is the HR manager (club secretary), department manager (first team manager) and yourself (player), with the addition of a recruiter (players agent) perhaps. That website offers no substances or references to its claims. I could create a website tonight, add lists of clubs players and make up wage values. Doesn't mean it's right though just because it's on a website. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to use this time of the year adding to the 500 page thread on Thorne joining, or creating the 500th thread on Martin. This is what we have to resort to in the absence of real transfer rumours. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
