glynriley Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Didn't Lansdown say Bikey never joined us because Boro offered him a longer contract?? What did we offer him , a fortnight ?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdR2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Its bit of a mystery as McInnes said he wasnt signed as ''he was in cuckoo land with his demands'' But to be off after 1 season couldnt of been a long deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Apparently Bikey's deal was a year with the option of a further year, which Boro didn't take up.http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/boro-fc/2013/05/08/nicky-bailey-and-andre-bikey-are-to-leave-boro-84229-33299190/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 have heard from a contact in the know (i know how that sounds) that Bikey wanted 19k and nothing less if he were to sign for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergie1919 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 If McManus goes to Aberdeen then he will be taking one hell of a pay cut. Boro will be glad to get them pair off their wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdR2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 How much do you think the club spent on Foster and Kelly? Im sure signing a defender like Bikey on a free and topping his wage up would of been cheaper and more value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 @Monkeh reread what i wrote The club bought Foster and Kelly, Bikey would of been free. both don't play in the same postion so you can not compare, and the bottom line is we can't afford to pay that sort of wages, 52 weeks at 19k a week is 988k Thats why we didn't sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Just by releasing those 3 players ( dyer,bikey,McManus) their wage bills would have been vastly reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a lot of players ending up without clubs if they don't reduce their wage demands. FFP means no one will be willing to pay them what the player/agent think they are worth.

BdR2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Monkeh how much do you think the club has wasted alone on TRANSFER FEES and WAGES for Kelly? Then ADD Fosters TRANSFER FEES and WAGES and i imagine Bikey is cheaper and twice the player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure signing a defender like Bikey on a free and topping his wage up would of been cheaper and more value for money It isnt that simple. You give one player £19k a week and others will want more money. Not to mention tjat is a sickening wage demand for a small club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ADD Fosters TRANSFER FEES and WAGES and i imagine Bikey is cheaper and twice the player Bikey wages = £988K per 1 season Foster and Kelly both cost around £150K, and as they were signed post austerity regeme at BCFC and came from the SPL where wages to non old frim clubs are notoriously low - I would estimate both are on around £3K pw basic. so per season the joint wage cost is approx £300K (plus the £300K transfer fees) = £600K v £988K for Bikey You do the maths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ADD Fosters TRANSFER FEES and WAGES and i imagine Bikey is cheaper and twice the player I'd say there wont be much in it Kelly and Foster on £5/6k a week plus the £200/150k odd transfer fees. However both are younger and probably I'd say less eratic. I would of loved Bikey to sign but not on that plus the signing on fee. Also how is it these two players fault? One was signed before Bikey came on loan and one was signed 9 months after his loan expired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 have heard from a contact in the know (i know how that sounds) that Bikey wanted 19k and nothing less if he were to sign for us IMO if any football player in any league can't live on £5,000 a week then they are living far beyond their means. They really want to live in the real world and thank their lucky stars that they don't have to do a proper job for peanuts. I think there should be a maximum wage for each division and I have always thought that Jimmy Hill has a lot to answer for when the footballers union got the maximum wage scrapped.

Chappers Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Stop looking backwards, let's look forward and scout for hungry up and coming players and build a side that can not only get promoted, but challenge in the Championship..... Even if it means a few years patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we'd kept Joe Edwards, not signed any of these 4 and given Andre Bikey a year. It would also be a much closer sum then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BdR2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Pretty sure the Kelly fee was reported round the 500,000 range then there signing fees etc, which in my opinon is to much for him. Hes an alrite midfielder but nothing special imo and am sure that money could of been used better. @Trl. Boro gave him a 1yr deal with another year if they want to keep him on.

BdR2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 @GrahamC Then there was kids Briggs and Wilson loaned from the prem, the Wolves bloke who broke his leg and then McManus again!!!! The club wasted aload of money on defenders this season thro loans, give them there due they did try to sign mcfadzean and dragged it right out. When Bikey was willing to sign but we have 2 stories on why he wasnt signed tho im thinking McInnes was telling the truth on. Also isnt allgeded that Baldock cost the club a million?!?!!
