Borodane 6,301 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I really really hope we’re not paying 24,5k a week on Betinelli and leaving 12,5k on the bench. Betinelli isn’t nearly worth that and to spend 37k on two keepers a week in our position is just bad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I would agree with you on that @Borodane It’s huge money for two keepers in our situation Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 815 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I think with Roberts 2 things are at play. Watmore is a better player. Tavernier works harder. Shame but football isn't complicated. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 @Blanco I wouldn't put too much faith into those figures. I imagine a few are close, but equally I imagine a few are well wide of the mark. That said I doubt any of us will actually know the figures, so it's all guess work from all of us anyway.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Also Warnock said he was talking to a top Premier league club regarding a centre back before the window closed. He said the player didn't come, but did end up playing in the Champions league a few weeks later. Only player I can think of is Rhys Williams (Not our ex-pro the Aussie) at Liverpool he got a run of 3 games for them in the CL. Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t either Dan but it was sent to me and as you were discussing Roberts wages I thought I would share it 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm leaning towards thinking that those might be close to Betinelli and Roberts wages at their parent club but we're only paying a portion of that. Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't think he played in the Champions league, could be wrong on that. Link to post Share on other sites

Shame but football isn't complicated. Watmore is also due to him being a harder worker, Warnock has already said that. I don't think either is a better player than Roberts but both will cover more grass which is what our manager wants. Like Wilson I'm just completely baffled that he brought him back at all, what an utter waste for him and for us. I just hope this one doesn't bite us as badly as the Harrison one ended up doing.

I don't think it will. We aren't the first team and Warnock isn't the first manager who have decided that Roberts doesn't deserve a place in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites

True, but he is a couple of years older and the other clubs were playing top flight football. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh I'm not saying for certain, and I'm certainly not defending Warnock on this. I like Roberts, and I think we've sold him up the river a bit this season, I just find it hard to see him carving out a PL career based on what we've seen and heard from some of his managers.

I think he'll make it, and at the very worst he'll be a top end championship player. His next move is massive though, needs to make it count. Link to post Share on other sites
