Kernow Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 If we are ultimately spending £1.5mil on a goalkeeper, then I’d like to think we have the budget to also spend on a striker. When did we last spend this much on a goalkeeper? It’s generally a position where we could pick up a decent enough option for not too much. To spend £1.5mil, I’d expect JWZ to be one of the better keepers at this level. A striker who fits the team will be more important than a real top-level goalkeeper, so I don’t think we’d blow all our budget on that one position.

Seems an odd one , yes he looks quite exciting and 1.5m isn't much for a good keeper, but 1.5m for a keeper in the championship is massive and can't imagine us having 1 mil to spend on a striker on top of that? Along with the 10 and left back and central defender etc he mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine there’s lots of performance based bonuses in the contract that could take it to 1.5m eventually. Colour-blind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing a keeper for £1.5m guarenteed on £5k wages is £2.5m over 4 years. Alternatively, we could have picked up someone for free on £12k per week, and cost the same over 4 years.

We don't know how accurate the article is however, it does state that 22 million kroner is the basic sum. "22 million kroner in basic sum, and another around 5-6 million kroner in bonuses is waiting in the short term."

DE56Ram Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I’m guessing that we are going to be pleasantly surprised by our budget for a good enough striker. Since we’ve paid £1m for a good goalkeeper. Why not?! Surprise incoming. . . Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsFan10 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Surprised by the sum - but as others have said, if we’re spending this on a keeper then surely Clowes is happy to drop £1m-£2m on a striker too. If this keeper is as good as he seems, and we get him on a 4 year deal, we might be getting a big sum for him from a lower Prem team in a couple of years. It’s a gamble but seems like a worthwhile one. Edited July 31 by RamsFan10 Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The thing is £1.5 million is getting us, by all accounts, a really good goalkeeper. With huge potential, only 26 and capped by his country. Considering £10 million now would buy you Will Osula. I am really not sure if we will spend £1.5-£2 million on a striker as it might not get us very much. Unless we can unearth a gem from abroad. But they would be unproven, a risk and no guarantee they would score goals. I would have a look at that Alexander Lind. But like I said, a risk.

We should be looking to be a lower prem team in a couple of years so why would we sell him? 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I can see us selling this guy end of this season (as he won't want to play in League One) for £5 Million plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And compare this to someone like Iverson who we were heavily linked with, you’ve got a similar initial outlay but then probably more than double, maybe even triple, the wage costs. It’s about balancing the overall cost within the budget and FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
