xathras 178 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Enough of Shotton or whoever else's wage packets. Let's get down to transfer news... If we want to discuss wages then let's create another thread... #utfb 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see a scenario in which players would accept less money than they actually want. The method of paying that money - wages or signing on fees - wouldn't alter how much money we have to pay them. Unless there is some tax benefit to a signing on fee then there would be no reason for any player to accept a bigger signing on fee but miss out on more from a lower wage. I guess it depends on how the signing on fee works, if they then leave during the period of their contract they could be better off financially by taking a chunk up front and lower ongoing salary. But I'm quite surprised that Shotton is on £15k if its true. Edited January 21, 2020 by sackrobson2 Link to post Share on other sites

Not much new besides that the Echo rule out the Gregory link and say we're after 1 defender and after that a wide player. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I see it as players are a commodity , valued and promoted by agents and clubs. The players stock value fluctuates based on statistical merit and Investors interest. I dare say players may try and stay put if long term plans exceed short term returns or the profit is lower than the effort needed to move. Least not forget the common denominators of value are divided between Club, Agent, Player and investor. We know little about how it works or what they earn and we are not likely to be invited to give an opinion so basically who really gives a @@@@. Link to post Share on other sites

If we fail to agree something with Burnley I can see Gibson being lured in by Nigel Pearson for the rest of the season. They would surely have the finances to accept Burnleys demands. Unless Burnley doesn't want to strengthen a direct opponent. Link to post Share on other sites

Bristol_Boro 122 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's become more complicated because the player they want to replace Gibson with is Dael Fry. Higher offer for Dael is imminent Ben won't be heading south Link to post Share on other sites

scotty189 931 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If we need to sell Fry for 10mil plus, to get Gibson + another CB, its a yes from me. Never really undestood the hype around Fry only a regular this season and his form in the main has been pritty poor, granted theres potential but give me a 27 year old Gibcon in his prime and a chester/Reid/Dann all day long. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 So Woody wants a centre half and another winger that would top of a good window providing we don't lose anyone decent. Link to post Share on other sites
