Speculation ThaiSweetChili's annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer15 rumours thread

He's 35.
Would probably be a decent fallback option.
But he's 35.

Would prefer him to Upson.

Would prefer him to Upson.

I probably would too, but I would prefer we were looking at spending our cash on a bit younger and a bit better.

Does this fit in with our wage structure?

Well apparently Pearson is known for giving out seriously ludicrous contracts, so I'm sure it does.

£50,000 a week?!

What would that make Cambiasso worth - a £100,000 a week?

Is he? I think it's quite the opposite. In addition, it wouldn't be Pearson who was involved in negotiating wages. He may be made aware of or asked his feelings about the situation but that's about as involved as he'd get.

I think it was a jibe at Brown Nose.

You thought right!

Erm, no thanks

I don't honestly care what we may or may not pay Sako or any other player for that matter. Our owners have shown that they are shrewd businessmen who will not put the club in financial danger and NP has certainly demonstrated that he is able to develop a united squad. If (and of course it's a big "if") we are willing to pay this guy 50,000 a week then they obviously deem it a viable deal.

The same goes for the age of potential signings. I don't care if they are 35 or 21. I only care if our manager wants to sign them.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

The big trick is not to have huge discrepancies between players if they have similar abilities, work rate, attitude and ethos.

The problems arise if you get a 'diva' in the squad.

Nigel has clearly done his best to ensure that all new players buy into his squad ethos.

I know nothing about Sako, but I am sure the coaches and scouts have carefully done their homework on him for some time.

It is also possible that longer serving first teamers have had their contracts enhanced to reflect Premier League status.

I cannot imagine that Schlupp was on anything more that about £10,000/week a couple of years ago.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

I very much doubt it will be a basic weekly wage of £50k per week, he is available on a free so it is more than likely going to include signing on fees, bonuses and other incentives

Jaz Richards, allegedly.

Sincerely hope not - he was a liability on loan in the championship last season!

 

[londonfox]

He's going to Fulham for £500,000 apparently so don't worry OldGit.

Had to look up who that was, it seems you mean Ashley Richards. When did he start calling himself Jazz?

Jazz? Nice

No idea - first I heard of him was last year and he was referred to as "Jazz" then

Going by Wikipedia his name is Ashley Darel Jazz. Id have chosen Jazz if they were my options.

Ah, so it's actually part of his name? Fair enough then.
