Eriksson handed £10m to land Heskey and Given

[Nottingham Fox]

It would be nice for him to end his career here, but I think the money should be spent elsewhere. He's going to be injured 40% of the time and will score very few goals IMO

Are there any standout goals that any of you remember from Heskey's time with City?

Arsenal?

I remember him scoring a low drive from roughly 18 yards against the Arsenal. I think he was around 18 at the time.

Yeah. Tony Cottee got loads.

Highfield Road, ran on it and kaboom. Most of the post-match stuff was O'Neill saying he hoped Heskey would show more of that attacking desire.

I really hope if this goes through his wages won't take too much out the summer budget. We really need a goalscorer up front before we need another creative player as well as an entire defence and a goalkeeper.

More mobile than Howard and brings other players into the game. For 500k this could be a steal.

The transfer fee might be a steal, but if he's on £40,000 a week (seems to be typical for a Prem player) and gets a two year contract the total cost would be over £4.5 million.

That's more expensive than paying £3 million for a player and paying him £10,000 a week.

I like the logic but if I were an advisor/agent I would be saying if I my player is worth £3 million as a transfer fee then he is worth more than £10,000 a week. :icon_wink

But Howard is already at the club so we won't have to pay a transfer fee for him and would be on much, much cheaper wages.

Why are we comparing him to a player who ended last season as our 5th choice striker anyway? Is that how we decide who to splash the cash on? They would be a steal because they are more mobile than our 5th choice striker? :icon_conf

Was that the same game Stephen Hughes scored for Arsenal? Both at the Filbert Street end?

£10k a week would be good wages in this division, and if the player isn't wanted by a Prem team it might be the best offer they get.

£10 a week would be good wages in this division, and if the player isn't wanted by a Prem team it might be the best offer they get.

£10 a week wouldn't be good wages at McDonalds.

More than they deserve.

It is if you're brain is like fahey's or superscout's

 

[Profondo Rosso]

I reckon Waghorn can't be on more than £10k a week and his transfer fee has the potential to reach £3mil.
