Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 5:31 pm

The guy is 32 and 'if' the club goes back to the Premiership that will be 33!!! Whereas a you can get someone on more and half his wage who can score goals in the Championship surely

wont he be 33 in the championship ?

I think if his goals win us promotion the investment will be more than profitable for the club.
he could be a great squad player next season as well in the premiership if promoted. I dont see a future after that but if he contributes to promotion and avoiding the drop it will be great

His birthday is in March so it would be the end of the Championship season I guess. Its another Bellamy type signing at Championship level really and lets be honest Bellamy was a waste of money.

He's on less money then Bellamy and younger looks like we're saving money to me.

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

OK then Mr. Football scout. Give me a player who is significantly younger than Guerra, who is free, is on under 15k a week and has a track record in the Championship.

This is a guy who was the 6th top scorer in La Liga in a RELEGATED side. He had scored 69 goals in 146 games (most being in the second tier which is the same standard of the Championship) which is a very good record.

Our fans are never happy, if we signed Ronaldo you'd complain because he is nearly 30.

When I say Bellamy type I mean big player for Championship level rather than wages. However even the wages he's on is big for the Championship level IMO

Over 3 years through as he will be gone after one season so its not £15k per week really is it. In reality its £45k per week for the one season which he will star.

You cant blame him but he's just come here for one pay cheque to cover him until he's 36!!!

I said that before you even mentioned Bellamy

Sorry I was mixing that comment up with someone I said on facebook at the same time because the same response was being given.

3 year contract on £15k but will only play for 1 realisitically so £45k per week

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 5:54 pm

Why will he only play for one year

With the fitness levels and injuries to players these days only a very small percentage keep playing week in week out at the highest level past 33/34. Whilst Ive always been one who likes both experience and youth in a team there are some players who are heading towards the end of their career just looking for the final pay cheque and you cant blame them for that.

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 6:04 pm

Who would you want us to sign then?

He's come on a free, on supposedly low wages and has shown he can score goals in a competitive league what more could you ask for.

Adam Le Fronde as he's still 27 and on £8k per week at Reading and scored 15 goals at Championship level last season

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 6:13 pm

And who would also cost us several million to buy.

I never said he is on 15k a week. You said you could get someone half his wage so I assume Javi is on 25k-30k a week which led me to say 15k, get it? Not hard to understand.

Anyway, as you completely avoided my question, I'll ask again. Name me one player who fits which fits the criteria above

15k a week for 3 years is 2.3m. Peanuts.

He'd cost a few million. Reading are our promotion rivals next season, why would they potentially sell their best striker to us? He also said he wants to stay and will accept a new contract if offered.

Still waiting Mr.Scout.

8 a week for 3 years is £1.2m so even better especially when TV income dropping.

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 6:26 pm

why would we pay an extra 2-3 mil on a championship player, when we can get one for free who is a proven goal scorer against top teams like barca. his age has fucall to do.with it tell kevin phillips.

Re: Guerra seems a waste of money because of his age

Thu May 22, 2014 6:26 pm

Le Fondre is 4th choice at Reading. Massively overated.

You can put as many exclamations marks as you want, it doesn't make your point any more valid:

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... eague-club

(Read it slowly Adam. He is still contracted until next year)


Also, you are stupider than I thought if you think a player who played and scored the majority of Reading's goals in the Premier League is sitting on 8k a week.
