I don't see it personally but interested if others see it this way. Don't get me wrong IMO Hartley was a good player but I wouldn't say he lit up our midfield he just passed the ball around very well in a team that didn't seem to be able to pass the ball around very well.

downendcity Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So's paying 800k for Keogh but no-one's threatening to string McInnes over the nearest tree branch about that colossal waste of money! For the same sum of money you can: a) Pay 800k plus wages and sign Keogh for 2 years b) Sign Bikey for free and pay only wages for 2 years. The cost would be probably a lot less for Bikey TBH....we managed to afford him on loan. He's unemployed and will take less if he wants a job in a decent league. I would take option B every day of the week. Just saying - don't drag the fellers out of that there saloon to git yourself up a lynchin mob... Although the financial logic sounds fine, I have a funny feeling that wages and transfer fees come from different budgets. Transfer fees would be from a capital budget ( and I suspect that SL dips into his pocket to fund them) while wages have to be covered from reveneue, so Bikey's wages would make a much bigger hole in the wages budget than would Keogh's.

I think its more a case of City work with a wage wage structure....and Bikey may well not fit into it. Its easy to say give him £XX,000 a week because we didnt have to pay a fee for him, but if he is earning a few thousand more then a couple of other first teamers, it could well cause problems. Its important that wage structures are kept to and are spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 a) Pay 800k plus wages and sign Keogh for 2 years b) Sign Bikey for free and pay only wages for 2 years. So when signing Bikey we're going to pay him half what he was on at Burnley and he won't be asking for a signing-on fee (unlikely when there's no transfer fee). From a player who was one of Burnley's highest earners when they were a Premier League side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say for arguments sake that we will keogh 8k a week and bikey 13k a week, and that both would get 2 year contracts. Keogh's total fee would come to about £1.6m and bikey £1.3m, and I fully expect that bikey's signing on fee would be more than 300k. Plus keogh is younger so if we ever look to sell he will definitely have a sell on value where as we wouldn't get any return on bikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Serie C? He was close to a move to China in January before Howe blocked the deal, and he would be on a decent wage there.

I would take option B every day of the week. Just saying - don't drag the fellers out of that there saloon to git yourself up a lynchin mob... Bikey was on about 30k a week wages at Burnley and David James was our previous highest earner and he was on about 15k per week as far as I remember? So In reality Keogh would probably be on around 10k per week of we were to sign him. So per year bikey would cost you about 1.5 million whereas Keogh would cost 500k and that's only after one year! So it's fairly simple to be honest you would rather take option A! As much as I would like to see Bikey here it's not for the best, I mean look at Portmouths players on ridiculous wages that don't represent there standards anymore, it's unviable!

marcofisher Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 You seem to be forgetting the transfer fee involved with option A which you wouldn't have to pay with option B.. Plus you or anyone else for that matter doesnt know our clubs wage structure so it strikes me as odd how you seem to 'know' how much David James was earning! Well clearly I don't know exactly how much either Bikey or James were earning but those were the numbers I had seen around before so I was going by that. But still Bikey is on prem wages and Keogh would have been on low championship wages most likely, Plus the fact that Keogh is younger, it would easily be much more expensive to get Bikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hortonred Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I appreciate and accept all that 'signing-on fee' stuff. But lets also not lose sight of the fact that Bikey is,at the moment unemployed!! He, I assume,liked it here,the fans supported him, so why not ask? There will be a lot of non-league footballers in 4 weeks time that were holding out for 'the right deal'. I'm sure Bikey is more than happy to play in the Champ than Serie C. All I'm asking is to know wether we have made an approach or not - for a long term supporter of a professional English football club,I don't think that's too unreasonable. It's been months since he was here, and he did a great job, so unless he's already said "NO" - then why aren't we taking him to Spain? Anyone else want Bikey here for next season? I thought he was a major factor in us staying up at the end of last season.And I had hoped we sign Amougou or Bikey as soon as we could. I would love to see him signed.
