Where has the £4m sum for JRS come from?0
-
It is a short career, so as much as the money now is attractive, a young player with potential, like JRS, also can’t afford to make too many wrong decisions on clubs to join if he wants to maximize his career potential. I’m not saying we’re necessarily a better place for him right now than Burnley, but the kid needs games and a settled home for a couple of seasons. Maybe he’d get that at Burnley too, but he’d definitely get it here, and a manager who can help him develop his game. A couple of years consistent game time and development to get closer to his potential, and any money he’s offered now could seem like pocket change with he might earn over the rest of career in the top flight. Getting the most out of a short career still doesn’t always mean thinking short term.TheHerminator said:I’m very much in the ‘I really hope he joins but I think it’s highly unlikely’ camp when it comes to JRS.
If Burnley are interested their parachute money means that even their lower earners are likely on more than our higher, and regardless of who he’s mates with and where he’s from, football is a short career that you must get the most out of while you can.Fingers crossed1 -
Any chance of you saying the same about JRS Golfie 😉golfaddick said:

Twine would get in most of the Championship's starting 11... That's one I could see Wrexham throwing some money about for if he is available, he is quality6

They’ve just won a European trophy. You wouldn’t bat an eye if he played for Man U or Chelsea.
Cant believe you're calling the Nigels European Champions, Fcks sake.7 -
NJ says we are only looking for 1 more player (2 if Kaminski leaves). That player is a Right Winger. We have no room in the squad for any more than that.....and that means at least 3 leaving/ going out on loan in any case.benjest1989 said:Any news on a new GK, a more dynamic midfielder than Coventry, and a number 9?3 -
100%, that definitely sounds like a Wrexham type signing and I reckon he’s the kind of player that would love playing for them.CAFCsayer said:Twine would get in most of the Championship's starting 11... That's one I could see Wrexham throwing some money about for if he is available, he is qualityThat said, surely they wouldn’t want Twine AND Rak Sakyi, and if they signed him would that perhaps leave Davis Keillor Dunn free to move on as well?0 -

This obsession with Lookman, Konsa, Gomez, Gallagher and Pope is crazy.
They're not joining, move on.17 -

I mean he might have. From the way Cawley and Mendez were talking I have a feeling that Jones signed his contract extension a fair while agoFortune 82nd Minute said:

Apparently the “source” that said Burnley are interested in Rak Sakyi is “Football League World” who are supposedly pretty renowned for spouting shite, so not sure if the link is 100% factual anyway.3

Not saying it doesn’t change the fact they won a European trophy it’s insane cope to say other wise.EugenesAxe said:

If Burnley are interested their parachute money means that even their lower earners are likely on more than our higher, and regardless of who he’s mates with and where he’s from, football is a short career that you must get the most out of while you can.Fingers crossedAll wise advice, but this is modern football. Agents are trying to maximise their players’ careers and earnings, and that often means getting the money as soon as they can. If he has the chance to play regularly with much better players around him at Burnley, his agent is inevitably going to push him in that direction.
I know we don’t necessarily want the realities of football finances to be true, but unfortunately they are, and financially, we’re right at the bottom.
It could happen but the chances are slim.

Pretty sure Cawley said they were interested on his Substack.2 -
Personally would prefer us to get a high level rw in over a goal keeper if it came down to it. Both are needed but if it was one or the other a rw for me0

I posted a couof weeks ago that if Mbick can fully recover from his injury he will be the best striker we have produced for about 20 years.Crispywood said:
If that’s your 3 behind the striker you need a Leaburn instead of a Godden. Not one of those players are capable of supplying Godden with quality chances, need a target man that can bring them into play and physically occupy defenders.Chawlton said:Imagine TC, Grant and JRS behind GoddenPersonally I’m convinced Mbick is going to come in and be our best forward
I stand by that, i believe he will play premier league football at least.
I got loled 7 times and will probably get loled again but I believe he will be that good18 -

We really need both (assuming Kaminski is out). I’d be pretty disappointed if the window closed without both those positions being addressed.AberystwythAddick said:Personally would prefer us to get a high level rw in over a goal keeper if it came down to it.

Absolute guesswork3 -
Why would the club not have announced LJ new contract as soon as the media was done?0

With the greatest respect you’re likely in a career people can do for 30/40 years footballers get 15/20 at best and they don’t make that much as youngsters.Athletico Charlton said:ShootersHillGuru said:
Not trying to piss on the fireworks but it’s not going to be “a couple of grand” it’s likely Burnley can offer probably double what we can. It might well be a mistake for him to go there but in the end it’ll come down to money.AberystwythAddick said:
Agreed, I think given the choice of leaving home for an extra couple of grand a week or staying where he’s from and playing every game, you’d like to think it’s a no brainerBraziliance said:Call me delusional, but I reckon if it's us or Burnley and the wage disparity isn't too wide, he will pick us.
Been fairly unsuccessful elsewhere, knows if he comes here he will be an almost guaranteed starter, stays near family, Tyreece is his best mate, friends with Kayne as well and I genuinely think he loved being here.
I reckon if we offer Palace a reasonable fee and we offer Jes decent Champ wages, he would sign.
Doesn't always come down to money. I've turned down opportunities to speak with employers who would pay me near double my current wage, because there are other considerations. All the money in the world wouldn't make me want to move to Burnley. Maybe JRS likes living in London, and after a couple of years away would prefer to rebuild in his home town with friends around him.
My guess, TC has already signed and we are waiting for a double announcement.Doubling your salary would be 30-100k a year assuming your role is similar to mostDoubling JRS salary is probably an extra 750k a year.TC is an exception because he’s so introverted and reserved that a move elsewhere would probably scare him half to death. But how many footballers can we name who have stayed at Charlton opposed to moving away when they have better offers on the table.If Rak-sayki had the same offers on the table he would 100% join us over any club but I very doubt it would be that simple
Doubling your salary at £30K - £100K would have a much bigger impact on most people than doubling a salary of £750K I would say.

Oh yeah absolutely, I’m saying if I had to choose one or the other I think rw would be of higher priorityse9addick said:

Average length of a player in the EFL's career is 8 years. That is not often 8 years at whatever is their highest level. That will normally include years in lower EFL divisions on their way up and on their way down.Crispywood said:
