  • Have a look out of your window.
    Says the geezer living in Dagenham.
  • 100%

    When a player moves one of the major factors to consider is where they are to live.

    The club he plays for is possibly secondary to this.
    £2.5k a week is approx £130k pa.  That's the salary of a top grade Hospital  Consultant (inc extras). Good enough to get you a 4 bed house in Chislehurst, Beckenham or  Bromley. Hardly slumming it..

    Must be very tempting for the fella.......

    Where did I use the term "slumming it"?
  • Agent tells player a club has come in for him,  the first subject raised after knowing the club would be wages.

  • I suspect that Bowyer and Gallen will get pretty frustrated losing our targets to better offers. 
  • One thing I think we’ll all agree Bowyer can’t complain he didn’t know what the budget was and the challenges it brings when deciding to sign up for more

    Hopefully he has been told of a few decent loan signings he can have. 
    Otherwise we be f@#@$ed
  • In the summer of 2013 we had ONE first team player on £2.5k a week or less - the typical salary was double that. That was six years ago.
    So the logical conclusion is that as a club, that is about where we should be pitching our salaries, with out external investment.  That's what we offered BFG.  What's the problem then?

    To be fair, none of the players we've allegedly been after have signed for other clubs yet

    Players may be after money but it doesn't mean they'll get it. After all Ben Reeves waited all summer for a better offer before he joined us
    True, but Reeves did have a good offer from us to 'fall back on'. 

    I highly doubt players like Eaves will fail to get more money elsewhere.

    I've no idea, but I doubt Reeves was offered more than the sums that the likes of Aribo and Bauer were offered for example

    He wasn't on less than Bauer was offered.

    foisted?  You mean a lot of inferior Belgian league players will be foisted on us? Very possible.

    You must have missed it. BFG joined Preston :smile:
  • More likely Lilly Savage !
    Better than Robbie Savage! 
  • Could be a massive week. 4-5 signings by Friday according to Bowyer
  • So we're offering top end 4/5k a week hardly enticing for top level league 1 players let alone championship. Our only pull for any of these players is guaranteed first team football or the opportunity to join a United unit under lee Bowyer. I think personally we need to get a core of 18/20 to see us through to Jan, new owners pump a little money in and that's where bowyer shows what he can do. Him and gallen are lethal with little to nothing imagine what they'd achieve with abit of wonga

    Surely what should be "enticing" for top level League 1 players is the fact that we are in the Championship. That means they get to play against better players, in better & bigger stadiums (with bigger crowds) and have more exposure due to more televised games.

    Or is it just down to money.

    They could play for us in the Championship for 2.5-3k a week... Or A.N. Other team in the same league but for considerably more. The only real selling point we have that no-one else does is Bowyer himself.
  • After a quick skim of the free agents a couple of names stand out. Joe Ledley, Johan Djourou, Danny Guthrie. Players with experience at this level or higher and if we really are in the shit players we might end up turning to.
