Must think he’s ronaldo tell them to F off!’ I remember when mowbray first came think it was vectorboro said something about him hating the wages younger players get and being stubborn against signing them. Maybe that way of thinking is just a club policy? I could be remembering wrong but wasn't there something about Image rights with Tuncay? Either before he joined or after he left.

They start the season on -12 points for goodness sake. Serious questions need to be asked at our place. guess sheff wed are still happy to outbit teams who are competing fairly. they must be a mess, why would you sign to play for league one next season. even us who finished just above relegation were only 15 points o the play offs. they need to be one of the best teams in the league to avoid relegation.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/exclusive-three-clubs-meet-wigan-athletics-valuation-josh-windass-2949309 Could we be one of the three clubs who've had a bid accepted for Josh Windass? He's Wigan's highest earner but this is a club who put a 750k pricetag on Jamal Lowe's head so whatever fee has been accepted for Windass I doubt it's close to that. Quote Latics are believed to still owe the 'Gers around £500,000 from that deal, which it's believed has been the starting point for all negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites

TheJew 2,938 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Izzy Brown is a really good player at this level. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 All three of them are better than what we currently have, probably with the exception of Dunkley but he still would have provided good depth. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I would like us to get Jamal Lowe as we are so desperate for winger's and he is available. As currently we only have Johnson and Browne to play of the wings. As Tav is more a midfielder Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 5 hours ago, Youngy228 said: So as a snippet from Done Deal.... He talks about a transfer cost. £35 million transfer fee £26 million in wages for 5 years (typical wage for premier league player) £5 million image rights payments to player £3 million sign on fee and loyalty bonus £1 million performance related pay £1.3 millions agents fee. Total cost 71.3 million. I know this is a premier league player but it shows that a headline transfer fee becomes more complex. Middlesbrough are ok at agreeing the transfer fee and the player wage but seem unable to agree to the finer details - we all know Gibson will only deal with certain agents etc. Perfectly illustrates how insane the game has become. Players no longer satisfied with just earning a good wage...they have to have all manner of bonuses thrown in. Performance bonuses, fair enough (if you do really well, you deserve a bit extra)...but there is often so much extra nonsense. I mean seriously...a fee just for putting your name to a contract...WTF? In this example, the transfer fee, wages & agent's fee look reasonable enough, but we've all heard about the grotesquely inflated figures for top players. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,496 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Izzy Brown made 25 appearances for Luton scoring 1 goal. I can guarantee if that was his record at our club last season people will be criticising him to the high heavens. To put his record in to context our new CB made more appearances and scored more goals than him last season and some on here already made they feelings clearer on what they think of Grant Halls appearance record. He has literally done nothing at this level since his Huddersfield loan 3yrs ago due to injury and form. The fact people are suggesting they would take him is simply a sign of some our fans sheer desperation to just make a signing for the sake of it......to probably then whinge in 12 months of another poor signing. There is nothing to suggest he would be a good signing based on what he done last few seasons 8 Link to post Share on other sites

The signing on fee and especially the image rights are to do with tax "management". The image rights example no longer works - see Glasgow Rangers court case. Image rights are probably relevant for players like Messi and Ronaldo, but how much would Grant Hall make from it for instance... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
