I know some salaries are crazy but £110k for someone who hasn’t played a first team league game for Chelsea is looney. I also saw another article that said he was on £20k per week. This seems closer to the truth considering he’s just been on loan to a series of clubs Definately want him to sign but given that would make him one of our top earners and we have no idea how often and where he will play its a strange one, just have a feeling he will be an asset here. If Taylor is off then it makes more sense to bring him in and play Szmodics as a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not sure we have a particularly huge senior squad. I’d say by the time the window shuts and all the ins and outs are done it’s be around around 27-30 senior players which doesn’t seem huge to me. Not small either but not excessive At any point in time you’re going to want an absolute minimum of 22 when everyone is fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance out the squad was the phrase they used. We have some experienced players who are not starters and who could block the pathway for younger players. I'd be surprised if some did not leave.

Of the current squad I would imagine Taylor, Watkins, Adelakun or O'Dowda will be on their way and maybe a few loans out for Bakinson, Janneh, Edwards are all likely assuming we can bring in a couple of quality attacking players.

Chelsea tend to pay crazy salaries, but not that much to someone who hasn’t come close to playing in the first team. More importantly, City have not come close to signing a couple of players who are on £50k per week due to their salary. If Palmer is on £110k I’m sure LJ or, the ever reliable Gregor MacGregor, would have quashed the rumours of City signing him ages ago. On the other hand, what do I know?

You think £110k a MONTH is baloney ? £25k a week i don’t at all - Remember Chelsea gave Tammy a new contract worth £40/50 k a week around the same time Also reports of 16/17 yr olds , years away from first team hope having £10/15k a week contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done nothing to merit it. He doesn't appear to have that many options from what I can gather either. 22 now and needs to cut the apron strings - or take the money for a year or two (no idea how long his contract runs with Chelsea) and then....well, who knows. He'd be a decent squad player for us, but not at that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairweather Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Why are footballers wages quoted as weekly pay? It’s really about length of contract and annual salary surely ive always assumed it was a slightly patronising tabloid speak so that the working man can equate it to their take home pay but it’s very dated.

BobBobSuperBob Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Don’t want to upset anyone further but Palmer played a grand total of 300 minutes for us If we were paying his wages that’s a cool £1466 per minute it cost us Crazy eh .....

DT The Optimist Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I cannot grasp the enthusiasm here for KP. His loan spell was ok at best, more often from the bench, LJ said he would want him to have a full pre season here with us, that he has not, so somehow I suspect this is all a bit of fake news. I still suspect a Proper front man come target man will be here before the window shuts, either K Moore or Hugill ? LJ has admired both in past. As others have alluded we r blessed with KP type players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His loan spell was ok at best, All about opinions, I really liked what I saw. His 2 goals and 1 assist from the equivalent of 6 games, extrapolates as good as any of our strikers....and a highlight reel from 6 games that others would need a full-season to recreate. I think a “flair player” has been tarred with the “doesn’t work hard” brush unfairly. Not a Bobby Reid admittedly, but nowhere near a Lee Tomlin either....plus will put a challenge in, unlike a couple of our “leg danglers”! But I accept others views. more often from the bench, LJ said he would want him to have a full pre season here with us, that he has not, so somehow I suspect this is all a bit of fake news. Suspect this was two-fold - 1) to get him properly fit, 2) train him how to press, like he did with Bobby. Re 1) I suspect Chelsea have got him fit, like they did last season, but limited playing time at Blackburn and ourselves won’t have helped his match fitness. Re 2) that is a shame....not too late, but may take a few weeks to catch-up. That’s no great shakes in a 8/9 month season. Will put Paterson and Szmodics on their toes. I still suspect a Proper front man come target man will be here before the window shuts, either K Moore or Hugill ? LJ has admired both in past. As others have alluded we r blessed with KP type players? Admired in the past, but the bar to recruit a player has been raised. Moore has not had much success at this level, albeit in struggling teams. Hugill, I’m just not a huge fan. Will be overpriced in terms of combined fee and wages imho. But we all see it differently, that’s the joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 He would be a good aqisition, the lad can play and can be a game changer. He has done pre-season with Chelsea so suspect he is in good condition now - don’t see this happening but would be a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
