Kevin Thelwell - New Director of Football

[Saint Domingo]

Well it isn’t the same thing considering we’re held to wage structures and wages as a % of turnover. It’s not all one big pot can look at.

Just because Patterson cost a fee + low wages doesn’t make his move more financially damning than signing on fee + wages Lingard.

It all goes into the accounts. If it didn’t we’d be spending money on transfer fees for players on low wages. Instead we’re doing it the other way round judging by the proposed Tarkowski deal.

I can see why the club are going for PL free agents whilst selling Richarlison. The fans won’t like it but they might end up being essential deals to give us some squad depth and allow our funds to go further to key positions. If we can get Lingard on reasonable wages then he’s not a bad player to cover the entire front line.

Have you submitted a C.V. yet, sounds like you would do a much better job.

When do I start mert ?

 

[blulouie]

On a free is a no brainer

Like Rondon ?

Massive wages Lingard mate.

 

[blulouie]

Can you pint me towards the bit when I said he plays for free?

Now which one costs less? A player on 100k a week that was a free agent, or a player on 100k a week who cost a transfer fee?

Now which one might a club in financial issues prefer?

Ok lets go down that route.

Andrea Belotti
Free agent
Italy International
100 goals in 230 appearances for Torino.
Was earning €60k pw
A year younger than Lingard.

Does he want to play for us though? Because if not there’s absolutely zero point entertaining it.

That’s not the same thing though, and what we have fallen for too often in the past. We need players who are here to prove a point.

Offer him half what Lingard 200k pw wants (so 100k) , you'd soon get an answer.

I’m genuinely not convinced we have a scouting network.

Haha

Sad but true!

Someone will do the maffs and figure out paying J-Lingz £200k a week equals like a £20mill transfer fee like that would make it feel better...

I’m genuinely not convinced we have a scouting network.

We seemingly have no head of first team recruitment so it would not surprise me whatsoever.
