oafc1955 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I saw him play a few times and he was generally OK except at Bradford where he was crap but so was everyone else! However, he's no Sean Gregan and looks at least a stone overweight and would cost the best part of £2k a week or even more. I would try for a young premiership player on a season long loan which would be a lot cheaper and leave a bit for another versatile defender or two which I think we need.

The man owns in excess of 20 properties with a couple of others, a villa in spain and a fleet of cars, and in the one time ive met seemed quite grounded to be fair and is very generous too.... Least he has spent the money wisely..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are talking about a time when Wolves were in the Premiership, even Elekobi was reported to have been on 15k a week when playing in the Premiership, Kevin Doyle was on 40k a week and Roger Johnson was the captain in the Premiership.

So they paid a centre half from relegated Birmingham nearly as much as their absurdly overpaid star striker. Nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Matt Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I don't understand why your struggling to accept a premiership footballer was on over 30k a week Pascal Chimbonda was 80k a week at Chelsea and gladly didn't get bothered if he wasn't selected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that is fair cause. Further to that, most Premiership footballers aren't on that. We see the headlines about the exceptions. And his high watermark would have been years ago. And he's a standard Championship/lower Premiership defender. And it's you saying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they paid him similar.60k a week for a :censored: full back. Nice work if you can get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I may have missed this but has Dieng been kept or has he been released? If we are going with Kelly's very strongly hinted at 3 at the back then I think we need to sign atleast 2 centre backs and a I reckon a right wing back. I was fairly so so about what I saw from Gerrard, but playing in a back 3 in between 2 quicker defenders where he can sit bark out the orders and head clear crosses and while not getting exposed for pace he will be an asset for us. Having lost both Lockwood and Elokobi we need someone who can lead in the back line especially with a young Goalkeeper behind them. Add in a couple of guys who are good enough at bringing the ball out of defence and start attacks while still being good enough to head the ball clear from corners we should be ok. So we are going to play 3 at the back are we? But only after we sign three at the back, get real, a managers chooses a system that suits the players that he has at his disposal.

Irish_Sunderland Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Do you mean Winston Bogarde? He stayed there (Chelsea) for 3 seasons and made about 8 appearances I think. Trained with the reserves and was happy to collect his £80grand a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's £12.5m or £1.5m per game....FFS the premiership is f*****g obscene!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Think Bogarde was more like 40k a week rather than 80. Had to admire him in a way though, it's not the players who agree to pay these daft contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
