January transfer window 2020

[Mattyblue]

Yet they were only a couple of years away from the TV deals going stratospheric, and PL club values with it.

Bloody fools, but I suppose there’s some pleasure to be taken in the fact they missed out on the gravy train.

Dack, Graham, Mulgrew on less than 20k? I very much doubt that too - unless they get bonuses for breathing and blinking ?

 

I still think people are underestimating. Do we know the total wages? They were cut down to about £16m a couple of years ago. Divide that by 30 (safely say 30 are on decent contracts) and that comes out approximately 11k each. Some will be on more, some less.  

By that logic (330k/week), with just those 3 players on 20k each (60k), the other 27 have to be on no more than 10k each (270k).

I don't reckon the PL-playing likes of Evans, Bennett, Holtby, Downing, Gallagher are on so little?

I think our highest earners will be on about 15k/week, with a more even spread of wages around the 5-10k mark for the rest of the squad.

Anyone have access to the squad wages on FM20? Those games tend to start with accurate wages.

Edit: found them. Look plausible to me:

Certainly seem far more likely than the figures bandied around/heavily implied by some of the "ITKs" around here.

[CambridgeRover]

If that list is accurate then Gallagher is a bigger flop than I thought and Nyambe and Travis are being robbed

no one is dismiss you tho. I am giving you my opinion on Newcastle interest on your comment that they are interested in Whiteman. clearly you don't like people with different opinions. 

 

it is a guess cos we don't know how much we have got. if we are interested in these players linked then clearly we must have some money. 

 

Not really, being linked with someone means very little. Most transfer rumours are a load of bollocks. Indeed the articles regarding Curtis etc have been followed by a narrative of not being affordable with the managee saying we are nowhere near affording these players!

I was being overly cautious classing the first team squad as 30. We know it clearly isn't - it's much less. I agree, Downing, Holtby, Gallagher etc. will be on more, again I reckon around 15-20k.  Again, I think Chapman will safely be on around 8-10k with him being a first team squad player and nothing suggests otherwise to me.  

Wasn't Rhodes on forty odd grand a week (before bonuses) not so long ago?

Still, surely less of a pay rise than a Championship club would give. And most players would rather be a Championship player than a League One captain. I suppose you just run the odds on these things (higher league interest can vanish overnight, you can get injured, it's a short career to risk not getting a pay rise at all, might not work out at the new club etc) and make a decision.

His stats are nothing impressive. Is he more of a tough tackling, keep the ball moving type?

Scores more than our midfield, scored a hattrick last season from midfield

It's not an opinion thing though is it, Chaddy.? Either they are interested or they are not.  I have heard it from the horses mouth that they are.  You brought his name back up, not me.....

So, your opinion is irrelevant in this case

[Dreams of 1995]

Wow. I know they’re academy lads but how on earth is Nyambe and Travis propping that list up? 
 

Gallagher needs to earn his money. Johnson needs to fuck off. The rest is as expected really, except for Davenport and Chapman who are both stealing a living at this club right now. 
 

We will lose Travis soon to better wages if we don’t bring him in line with the rest. In my eyes Travis is one of the first names on the team sheet every week

2. Linked with Blackburn today. And 2 other Championship clubs

If you're talking about CMs only then yes that's more than ours. But it's also only in League One. I was asking what type of player he is though?

Look mate, chaddy brought it up, some journo linking us and in my opinion is better than what we have.  Scores from outside the box generally,  good passer, big strong lad with good feet and technique. We should buy him and off load a few.

The hat trick might have been the season previous I cant remember...it was in about 10 mins too...real good goals
