Christ, CharlieA young Steven Naismith would be a God send this team scrapping about giving it 100%. And that in itself is saying something given how many viewed him poorly at the time he was here (hat trick apart!)
Presumably references to loaning Chermiti out are nonsense? That would be quite the decision with a want-away Dom, an on loan striker who gets injured by the playing surface, and Beto.
Oh in terms of raw numbers defo. And he is ready for solid minutes at his age. But Chermiti is the only one this season who hasn’t already shown he is categorically incapable of scoring. Looked much stronger and filled out in pre season than previous cameos.I mean to be fair we have 4 strikers for 1 position so would make sense to give him game time elsewhere if we keep the other 3.
Well, I'm being told that it's sensible to 'tie down your assets', even though the lad will already earn more atbus than any other club will pay him, and we'd have to presumably increase his wages to give him a new deal.This can't be true. Wtaf?
This is what you are advocating!It really isn’t.
Terrible commercial deals, and massively overspending on underperforming players who are on inflated wages that we can’t get rid of every time we change manger and formation every year to 18months is why we are knackered.
Having a fan (Kenwright), who knew nothing about football and was softer than sodding custard when it came to negotiating for two decades is where the rot was.
No. I’m dating this is problem that led us to the brink financially, not the renewing of players contracts, so they can add to squad depth cheaply.This is what you are advocating!
It's only "cheap" if they offer something. Mykolenko is losing us games at the moment. We shouldn't spend any more money on him than we have to. He should be nowhere near the side but, due to absolute insanity in our recruitment, he is the only left back at the club.No. I’m dating this is problem that led us to the brink financially, not the renewing of players contracts, so they can add to squad depth cheaply.
Shocking footballer.It's only "cheap" if they offer something. Mykolenko is losing us games at the moment. We shouldn't spend any more money on him than we have to. He should be nowhere near the side but, due to absolute insanity in our recruitment, he is the only left back at the club.
Why are you presuming that we'll increase his wages? We could be adding in relegation release clauses in exchange for salary reductions in the event we drop. It could be a single year on the same wages which allows us to hold value for a sale. It could be a salary reduction on a longer contract which he may be ready to accept as he knows he's overpaid and is guaranteeing a work permit. He can hardly go home...Well, I'm being told that it's sensible to 'tie down your assets', even though the lad will already earn more atbus than any other club will pay him, and we'd have to presumably increase his wages to give him a new deal.
It’s like people have forgotten the cautionary tales of Keane, Holgate, Schneiderlin, Tosun et al. and what happens when you give big money and long contracts to poor players.
The lack of footballing connoisseurs in this thread is a concern...
This could be massively problematic for us.
