The source is impeccable and @Kid in the Riot has quoted the same £55k per week figure on here regarding Assombalonga - and he seems to have a few good connections as lots on here hang on his every word ... They should've told the greedy ****: "You can have 55k a week if you can improve on your paltry one goal in three games" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal had to make sense to Boro at the time, potentially strengthening a promotion rival we should bear in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 'IF' though Mozo with all possible respect and would have left us with a possible financial issue IF it didn't clinch promotion. I don't think, as you say, SL would sanction such a gamble and I'm quite glad he didn't at those figures. As @29AR mentions, I would imagine 'Boro made it so expensive that we walked away.

Diedhiou for City - 26 league goals in 73 games. One is on £55k a week and the other is probably on about a third of that and gets a lot more stick for it!

bcfc01 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 9 hours ago, Davefevs said: But when Assombalonga signed in summer 2017, Boro were exactly that, a relegated club, looking to bounce back. They paid Forest £15m, and a wage commensurate to that fee....probably doubling what wages he was on at Forest. £55k is not ridiculous, it is rumoured that Scott Hogan was on £40k at Villa, with nothing like the reputation of Britt. But thats exactly my point, no one knows exactly. There is a huge difference between 40k and 55k per week (and 40k is pushing imo). There is also the fact that some wages may be offset by monies paid up front etc. to keep wages within structures. I just feel that 55k is ridiculous, the only club/player I could see where that may happen is Villa and Grealish as they were that desperate to keep him. Just an opinion amongst many.

It is the internet so not 100% but you can type in whatever team in google with salaries and find numbers for most sides. I just googled Stoke and they had 3 over 50k a week that they played last season. Allen, Shawcross and Martins Indi were between 50-60k. Though it had Berahino at 80k. Believable though because they have parachute payments and have had to cut back quite a bit this summer. Again internet so grain of salt but think the championship has a fair few over 40k.

They may well have to, but unsure they have been, they've not got long until windows close- well about 5 weeks or so if we include Europe., Can't see much evidence of major cutbacks yet- certainly not when set against Swansea or even this summer, WBA.Even though their accounts show some similarities in profile in areas. Could be that they are getting their ducks in a row early i.e. the new signings and then outgoings but squad size appears to be 30 as it stands! They spent a load last season too. Perhaps they will reassess in January and make cuts if they're midtable or such, or maybe gamble on promotion and have a firesale if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant in the sense they haven’t really targeted anyone for a large fee. They do have a large squad but have let some of the older and higher paid players walk and brought in younger and lower paid players. Expect they continue that and try and loan out some of their foreign players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To really get their finances in order though, they need to bite the bullet (IMO) and look to entertain some perhaps lower bids for the likes of Butland-Martins Indi and Allen.

Hazelboy Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 The thing i am struggling to understand is, if as stated City are interested in him, why would they wait to see if a move to Swansea falls apart before making a move? Surly if they want him they try and get him regardless of Swansea's interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 It does seem weird but Tammy went there on loan after being here too, but Swansea were a Premier side then. Maybe Chelsea have better links with Swansea, or Swansea can pay parachute payment funded wages. Bet that’s it. Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
