Wolf Island Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 11 minutes ago, JamesBCFC said: Because that would be very backwards thinking. Arbritrary numbers being used here, but if Joe does want a new challenge and is on, let's say, 5k a week here. Then Villa come in, have a bid accepted and their opening offer of wages to Joe is 10k a week, then why shouldn't he say yes? He has still moved for a new challenge, a pay rise was a secondary benefit. Simplistic assumptions as always jamesbcfc. Glad the world is so black and white and orderly for you. I imagine the decision is much harder and more nuanced for Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the world is so black and white and orderly for you. I imagine the decision is much harder and more nuanced for Joe. It was a simplified scenario to make a point in response to a silly question. Why should Joe demand to be paid less than he would likely be offered if him wanting to have a new challenge is the reason he wants to move? I have at no point professed any knowledge of why Joe hasn't signed the contract we offered him, or why he would or would not make any decision. So you can keep your condescension, perhaps return when you can tell what a hypothetical scenario is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Bryan has said anything of the sort. Yet. So are you claiming that any player who moves on from a club is purely doing that for the money? With no desire to go and test themselves at a higher level or try to win things, play in Europe etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish players wouldn't sometimes claim the money doesn't come into it when only an unrealistic minority criticises them for taking the opportunity. They have no more reason to be embarrassed about increasing their income than rest of us and shouldn't pander to the critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course not, I am saying they don't need to be defensive about doing what most of us would do by pretending money is not a factor in order to appease a few unreasonable critics. I prefer the alternative response where players say they have a chance to secure their and their family's future. Who wouldn't want to do that? Not that Joe has done any of the above I hasten to add.

Plus he can play on left infront of Kelly which would work for me. Wages shouldnt be an issue with what we have got in transfer fees and it would be a marquee signing to ease the pain of the players we have lost.
