Transfer Rumours January '22 Transfer Thread

I remember Justin, particularly from away matches in the Dolan era. Wonder what became of him?

 

It does take the piss slightly that he's only on £3k. An offer of £12k a week might actually allow us to keep him for at least another year. He definitely deserves to be one of the higher earners

 

Given the average salary for Championship players these days, £3k is **** all tbh. We don’t need to go apeshit with wages but £12k for your best player in a Championship team is actually quite modest.

 

This website lists verified Championship wages, if it is really correct, there are some ****ing monsters in this league and shows what we're up against (and consequently just how well we've done).

According to this our highest paid player is Greg Docherty on £7k a week (which if you include promotion clauses, probably works out).

 

There was a 'suggestion from a source' quoted by either Humberside or HDM, prior to him being dropped during negotiations 14 or so months ago, that if he started another game under his current deal then it would trigger a wage increase.

Don't know how true that was but I have been told that his general wage increased when he re-signed and the option year in the clubs favour was the sticking point and the main reason negotiations took so long - not the wage per-se at the time.

Theres some chatter that basically his agent wants to cash in on a move this summer, but KLP likes playing every game with some of his best mates and could be persuaded to stay if the money is right.

I hope the chatter is right.

Of course it's speculation. But I think even Baz has been suggesting the club feel they have a better chance of getting him on a new deal now than perhaps was the case in January.

 

6’4, averages 1 in 3, full international. £750k reported fee, low risk if true.

 

18 in 65 for Sparta. 7 in 23 this season at his current club. 24 years old. Ghanaian International.

Theres gotta be a catch for 750k.

 

I wonder if this is the same guy who SKYPED be the other day from Ghana, said he was a top Ghana footballer and had a contract in England to play for a club, I just needed to send him the air fare and he would pay me back double.

 

That stuff about the extra year being the sticking point was in the public domain at the time wasn't it? McCann kept saying that they wanted him to commit for longer but that his agent was encouraging him not to.

 

Seems okay, I hope he wouldn't be our main striker signing though.

Although Whoscored lists his weaknesses as finishing, holding onto the ball, passing and offside awareness.

But he is only 24

 

That doesn't look like a promising cv.

 

Don't know what you're talking about, why would a striker need to know how to finish and stay onside??

 

Considering Whoscored goes purely off numbers I wouldn’t take what they think a players strengths and weaknesses are seriously.

 

We need Bristol City's front three

 

So 3 weaknesses that a striker actually needs!
Sounds like Eaves!

 

Well they got KLP right, and Danny Drinkwater, so they’re either very good guessers or they’re getting info from somewhere. Not sure how they verify stuff though, not as though players or clubs would openly tell some random website.

 

How do you know they got those 2 mentioned right? There is no way of verifying it

 

What are you waiting for?

 

Because I know how much KLP is on? And Danny Drinkwater signed for £100k a week when he went to Chelsea, famously one of the worst transfers in Premier League history.

You’re right, without seeing the contract there’s no definitive way, but DD was reported at the time in plenty of newspapers and when he goes out on loan his wage is mentioned nearly every time.
