God there's a blast from the past. Our first £1m signing, no less. If his and Neal Ardley's performance with Wimbledon is any indication, it could be Woodgate Mk 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,939 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 League 1 and 2 vote in favour of a salary cap, wonder if its any indication of how the vote will go for the championship. I would say were in fairly decent shape if it does go that way, a lot of clubs will struggle to stay under it which means they won't be able to sign players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Could be that is putting brakes on a lot of potential moves - particularly the ones for the better players. clubs won’t want to risk too much money on one players wages until/unless they are sure there won’t be a cap and players won’t want to accept what’s on offer in hope that if there is no cap they can demand more.

Tough on some of the bigger clubs down there. Wonder whether a sliding cap based on revenue may have been a more ideal solution. Still better than nothing though! Can see the Championship following suit for sure. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

True. But for the moment it might drive prices down for lower league players as clubs try to sort out their wage bills. Link to post Share on other sites

The bigger clubs would still be more attractive I imagine but it does level the playing field. If the money is going to be the same then Players would probably be more attracted to the likes of Ipswich or Sunderland than Accrington Stanley or Rochdale. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I saw this a while ago, but this makes me laugh. Adama is now oiling up his arms because defenders were grabbing at him so much! https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/adama-traore-wolves-middlesbrough-oil-18734549 Link to post Share on other sites

Because I think he may literally now be unstoppable if he has - you cant really tackle him any other way apart from grabbing him! Still have dreams of him bouncing off whole teams as he tears up the pitch. I miss him so much! Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that people were grabbing at him so much he'd suffered a few dislocations, so this was Wolves way of stopping it from happening. Link to post Share on other sites

That's horrid. Though I've never really liked a Palace kit. Is it just me that feels like Palace have had pretty much the same team for 5 years now? I just checked to see if it was just me but from the squad that beat us at the Riverside in 2016, 10 of them are still at the club, 7 of them in the first team. Only 3 of ours in the entire squad were still here this season, though more expected given we got relegated. Link to post Share on other sites
