Why mateIm afraid this wont be happening
Mata is off? Good. Not good enough - extremely overrated player. Chelsea didn't want him, Man Utd don't want him, why should we?
There aren't that many in the current squad who I would worry about leaving anymore. Loads of bad snides based on last season150K per week he is on. If we give him that, other players in our squad will want pay rises.
It's a fine balance to get top talent in and keep the current squad happy as well.
If Lukaku had picked up a bad injury then yes, I feel we would have gone down.Not defending him, but we didn't 'nearly get relegated', did we...
And yes, Niasse, Kone, McGeady were poor signings. The rest, bar Alcaraz and Traore (no risk though) were decent or very good.
Pfft. Based on their efforts last season I'd tell them to earn the pay rise this season or leave.150K per week he is on. If we give him that, other players in our squad will want pay rises.
Ok so you didn't read my post.Yep, this team of ours is far better than our previous two finishes have indicated.
It is things like that which makes me laugh so much at the current talk on here.
People are so quick to [Poor language removed] our defenders off and suggest all these 30 million plus replacements yet things like this, basics, fitness etc which clearly affected who we already have is conveniently forgotten. The same defenders with the better fitness and training methods were deemed some of the best in the league at times. Point is, don't be so quick to dismiss the players we have, especially we have a former world class defender in charge of the team now, who so far has brought his fitness coach with him meaning he values these things much higher than his predecessor.
Stones will be off so it'll be sound.*because of STTC
Mata would be the highest profile player in the squad. I am sure if he wants to stay in England, not have to move to the other end of the country and join our project, he'll be willing to take a slight wage decrease. 120k a week seems reasonable. Tell Lukaku if he signs a new extended deal between now and January he can match that wage.150K per week he is on. If we give him that, other players in our squad will want pay rises.

Let's look at how much money has been wasted...
Kone 4m signing plus say 40k a week wages (2m a year), over three years, 6m. = 10m
Niasse 13m signing plus say 50k a week wages (2.6m a year), one year so far. = 15.5m
McGeady undisclosed fee, probably around 3m, plus no doubt 50k a week wages (2.6m a year), over three years, 7.5m-ish. = 10m.
Robles 3m signing, less wages but still no doubt around 30k a week, over three years (1.5m a year). = 7.5m
Alcaraz free transfer, probably on around 30k, so another 2m-ish wasted on him too.
Not one of those players has done anything more than a handful of half-decent appearances for us (Robles).
So that's roughly 40m wasted right there.
Sacking Martinez, probably end up costing 5-10m total including compensationlol
for him and his staff. Let's say 7.5m.
Having to find a new manager and pay more compensation, say another 7.5m for him and his staff. We're around 55m already due to Martinez being completely useless.
Niasse and McGeady still have years left on their deals and are under no obligation to leave, and who would want to sign Kone? He's left us with an awful lot of clearing up to do.
