As per Chris from Sidcup’s post, if they are going all out for promotion, then yes, I guess they are having to.Cafc43v3r said:

of course they have a choice, I just find mental that the market dictates this fella can get £40k.0 -
I suppose Boro's logic is that spending a fortune on wages for 6 month loans is a far smaller gamble than spending £10m on a transfer fee.8

Exactly. They’ll offload Uche Ikpeazu for more than that loan costs.killerandflash said:I suppose Boro's logic is that spending a fortune on wages for 6 month loans is a far smaller gamble than spending £10m on a transfer fee.0 -
Brighton have signed Poland midfielder Kacper Kozlowski, who last summer became the youngest player to play at a European Championship. The 18-year-old has joined from Pogon Szczecin for £8m on a contract to June 2026 but will go straight on loan to the Belgian club Royale Union St-Gilloise.
Kozlowski made history when, aged 17 years and 246 days, he came on for Poland against Spain at Euro 2020, breaking a record set less than a week earlier by England’s Jude Bellingham.

It's more mental that they've also paid his agent a 'large fee'. As if the 42k a week for a 20 year old unproven kid isn't enough.cabbles said:

Agent fees for loan deals are silly.1

Nadir Ciftci has signed for St Johnstone, lots of people raving about him on here a couple of seasons ago.0

Is that familiar creaking sound we can hear, the old Charlton transfer window, swinging open and closed in the wind, on its rusty hinges?4 -
Not technically a January signing as he signed 2 months ago, but Dani Alves has returned to Barcelona and they were only able to register him this week.
He is earning €155k a YEAR, the lowest possible salary permitted by La Liga’s collective bargaining agreement but agreed to it as he was desperate to play for them again.0 -
Oh what only 155k a year!!! I wouldn’t even get out of bed for that.9

Well yes it's still a lot to the average man in the street but he's earning less than some players at Wrexham! Not that he needs the money of course after 20 years at the top of the game.Stewart said:Oh what only 155k a year!!! I wouldn’t even get out of bed for that.0 -
Maybe he needs the money after all wine, women and colombian marching powder costs.

If Middlesbrough pay such a ridiculous wage the owner deserves to go broke. Just shows what a pit the Premiershit is and now the Championship is becoming.

I don't know what's worse, the fact Arsenal gave an unproven kid 42k a week, or the fact that Championship side Middlesbrough (who i thought were struggling financially) are prepared to pay it in full.
Are we no different ourselves, when we insist that Thomas has to spend in these transfer market to get out of this league? - Middlesbrough are just further up the food chain.
£2m spent by Sandgaard in League One could equally be considered silly money by the majority of clubs at this level15 -
But that in its self is a conscious choice. Championship clubs basically have 3 options. Try not to lose anything and ultimately your get relegated sooner or later. Spend a bit more and be lower mid table or shoot for the moon.cabbles said:

It's unfair to compare footballing minnows like Barcelona with global giants of the game like Barcelona though...Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Agreed, but regardless of whose money it is, the point I was making is that having to/choosing to pay that sort of money is crazy. For want of a better analogy, but we do love a house buying one on here, if I want to/choose to live in London and the South East, I think it’s crazy to have to pay the sorts of prices the inflated property market asks me to, but I will have to.Cafc43v3r said:

I don’t care for how Gibson decides to spend his money, I just think it’s an obscene amount of money0 -
No doubt we will "have a budget".grumpyaddick said:

We will at some point secure some much needed acquisitions, hopefully of sufficient quality and in the right areas.
I don't expect to be excited by any of them, just as don't expect us to blow league one out of the water at any time. At all.
We will be strengthened and we will be competitive and Jacko will see we give it a good go

On the flip side of that though, if they bought a striker for say 3m on a 3 year deal and gave him 15k a week it would cost them over 5m.addick1956 said:

At least this way they're 'only' spending 1m.1 -
James Hill [Fleetwood - Bournemouth] £1m .. a million could be a life saver for an over achieving minnow like Fleetwood

Is the owner not in a spot of legal bother at the moment though.

established ? .. right now they're kept out of the L1 relegation zone on goals scored .. same points and GD as Lincoln having played a game moreJ BLOCK said:

They've been in the league 7 years, they're an established league 1 team, unlike say Morecambe.Lincsaddick said:

they might be 'established' by your definition but a t m they are in a precarious position .. a £Million will allow Fleetwood to buy a couple of good lower league players to get themselves out of trouble, IF the owner is prepared to spend it or a portion of it ..J BLOCK said:

This is Morecambe's first L1 season and their highest ever spot in the pyramid, their position is also precarious .. selling Stockton, their star, to allow for all round team strengthening might be their only way out .. could be that there are too many west coast minnows for them all to survive EDIT .. prosper (see AFC Fylde's recent history as well)

Are you sure about that bit, @Swisdom ?. They are all certainly with the same agency, "Elite Management" but I learnt a few weeks ago, and posted, that the agent concerned was one Dominic Yardley. I say "was" because unfortunately he committed suicide in December. Which is not anything I wish on even Willie McKay.Swisdom said:Interestingly Louie Barry has the same agent as Washington and Gilbey and Leko. Also interesting is that this agent brought Gallagher to us a couple of years ago.
Even more interesting is he is a former Charlton player.
Coincidence maybe - we shall see
Anyway I rather doubt that an agent has a big role in whom Chelsea let their youngsters out to. As I've mentioned many times, they have a big internal team that supervises the development of their 200 plus such players.0 -
Freddie Ladapo has handed in a transfer request @ Rotherham.
Only Michael Smith has scored more for them.
Presume he'll be off to the Championship, but wouldnt say no if we brought him in1 -
Isn’t ladapo’s relative in our academy ?1
