Hugo Rodallega

[toffeejack]

What attitude ?

This is the problem with modern football, people will believe anything they read in the f***ing papers or on twitter.

Just because he's not signed for us immediately doesn't make him a 'mercenary', it makes him a guy who is looking out for number one. Nothing wrong with that, at all.

Now if it turns out down the line that he has in fact turned us down for a big pay packet and gone to a team like Fulham instead i'll happily laugh as he rots in a bottom half team. Until then he's just another player.

exactly. I think the only reason he'll choose them over us though is that he'll be a guaranteed starter for them, whereas here he will be backup to jelavic. Honestly though, even if he aint gunna start here, why cant moyes just lie and pretend he will, then make up some lame ass excuse like you didnt show enough in training etc. if he proves it on the pitch then fair enough give him 1st team football, if he doesn't, sell him for a profit in the summer. I'd like him here, think he has talent, unless he's a money grabbing whore and goes somewhere else for a pay packet. if he goes there for first team football then fair play to him, because it's becoming a rarety in modern football

You want the Moyesiah to lie?

Thou shall not lie.


Epic Fail.

The problem i have with all this, is if he chooses Fulham over us. The fact they can put a better deal together for the guy that us. It's just like the Dember Ba deal last season, and look how that went!!!

We just cant compete with clubs like stoke and Fulham, it's a fooking disgrace and the board all need lining up against a wall and shooting.

And i volunteer to pull the trigger...

So you're advocating we pay over the odds for Rodallega ? Fulham have no forwards, so they are overpaying him.

No way should we offer 70k a week for this guy....he's unlikely to feature in the 1st eleven every week so why make him one of our highest players?

 

[ChicagoToffee]

This is not a player Ebepton need to upset the wage apple cart over. If some one wants to pay him 70K/week, that's their problem. Moyes won't tip the scales for a cat of that caliber - not ever.

At this point i'd be more than happy with getting Naismith and Pienaar and keeping everybody else.

me too.....and for them all to forget that we have a slow start to the season...

 

[grezza1984]

I thought £70 grand a week was bad but then i heard we pay Anichibe £30 grand a week to sit on the bench.

 

[Waddy]

70k a week? wow.

 

[ijjysmith]

Jesus H Christ.....£70k?!?!?!!?

I'm better than him for gods sake.

[Bigmaclad]

Where are people getting this 70k figure from?!

 

[OneTrueLegend]

70k a week? wow.

If it is true that he has asked for £70K a week then I dont think we should pay it, I cant see him being a first team player, more of a bench warmer and I think it would upset some of our other players, on smaller contracts.

However if he thinks he can get £70K a week then good luck to him, I dont have a problem with it. Footballers can ask for whatever they want, it doesnt mean someone will pay it, but I dont subscribe to the theory that this makes him a "mercenary". I am sure that most of us in his position would want the best contract we could get.

The Independent mate

 

[grezza1984]

The daily star reported 70 grand a week aswell. All the papers are full of sh1t anyway so you dont know how true it is.

Might just be paper sniz, but the Indo is pretty relieable and dont tend to publish Jarg. Not achance for 70k before a signing on fee, rather go for someone like Defoe. Is it any wonder Fulham are 100s of million in debt.
