So you wouldn't take Ricardo Fuller then coz he's 33?

Helguson is a VERY good player at this level and he's fitter than a butchers dog. He's one of the best target men I've seen in the Championship despite his height.

I'd take him on a free! Just because we have money doesn't mean we have to spend all of it

34 year old tho

He maybe free - but I bet his ££££££ is going to cost us

this is whats laughable helgusson,tommy smith...we should be looking past these,,we've hardly spent any money ,most of the players we are getting or looking at are getting on or free or cheap fees....so much for tan spending millions ,which i knew was never gonna happen...i think bellamy will sign and that will be the big signing and wages ,the rest will be malky workers.

Tbh i dont want to spend alot of money, it has been provening by leciester last year that money doesnt guarntee u promation. Long as we have a team that is willing to work togthere and put alot of effort in then i will take freebies any day of the week

no my point being that none of those fees have been paid in full espcially seeing as we have a billionaire owner,all installments ,do u honestly think we have paid in full over 2 mill for kimbo,mutch we paid £600,000 with all add ons so may not even get to 2 mill and the same with the slovak...they are just fees...im looking forward to seeing these 3 players but just not liking the fact we are being linked with helgusson ,smith etc ...they are good championship players but think we need better than them.

good business by putting in clauses imo, mutch yes cost 600,000 up front and will get to 3m if the clauses pull off but if the clauses dont pull of we have saved money ourselves. same with kim.

Exactly, Kevin Philips also. If you're good enough it doesn't matter how old you are! 9 goals in 16 pl appearances, definitely past it :lol:

Vrtually every signing at any level is done in installments, why pay all of a transfer fee up front when you can drip feed the payment????
