I don't think there's any public knowledge but aren't the rumours about Shotton that he's on 30k? Link to post Share on other sites

Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Not heard anything but ultimately no one expects anything this year... hoping it's the making for some of the younger lads. Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 To be honest I wouldn't mind keeping Saville I think given a more consistent position and role in the team I think he could have a good season for us. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he’s a good player and will come good this season. I didn’t even think he was that bad last season, and it was probably one of his worst. Oh dear. If he was on £30k a week that would be utter madness. We signed him for £2.5m as a back up defender initially. Pulis indicated our £9m playmaker MB (we hoped) and our record £15m new no.9 Britt were on £47k and £40k a week respectively. So to then pay a utility defender 30k a week would be bonkers but not surprising based on our transfer dealings of recent times Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs not willing to pay what we want for him. Might be better off just keeping hold I think it's a bit daft that we're even trying to offload him, to be honest. We've already invested a great deal in bringing him here and it's clear he can score goals in a team Woody wants to score a lot of goals. Seems one of the strangest players to try and get rid of. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not fussed on him staying or going with him being on low wages. I think the club desperately wanting rid of a guy on only £12k a week is telling though... Link to post Share on other sites

I second this. Him and Wing as the forward 2 in a midfield 3 could get goals. I would be happy with the following team line up v Luton (fitness and transfers permitting) Randolph Howson, Ayala, Fry, Friend Wing, Clayton/Paddy, Sav Tav, Britt, Braithwaite 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He is no world beater but given our thin squad players like him are important as he comfortable in 2 positions. If I were Woodgate right now 3 players I would not want to leave would be Shotton, Howson and Mcnair because of their adaptability. It is such a small squad of experienced players. I also doubt Shotton is on £30k / week but who really knows. If he is though and offers come in then he will be gone. If we lose Britt, Braithwaite and Randolph I know some of this board would go off it but because of their salary I would understand it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he will do much better for us this season. I'd sooner sell Howson than him anyway. Although I suppose it depends how much Saville is on here. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just on a side note are we "skint" as a club or due to trying to keep within the rules and means of FFP. Link to post Share on other sites
