Caulker - 8/10 - been one of our better players, although still not great, but i doubt we will lose any money on him next season.
Medel - 4/10 - has had some terrific games, but not fit enough which is startling for someone who was 11m and circa 30k a week. when we sell we are going to lose 2,3 or more million on just his transfer fee.

Brayford N/A - Didnt cost much, i imagine we arent paying most of his wages, and still (might) eventually turn out to be a decent signing.

KTC - 5/10 - Truly awful football player who has no business calling himself a defender. if judging his performances he would get much lower than this, but there is a decent chance we can sell him for 2m back to France so wouldnt have cost us much.

Odemwinge - 4/10 - Could have been good for us, certainly wasnt a poor buy... just not used correctly, the money we paid for him helped us get......

Kenywn Jones 2/10 - as it was a player swap, Kenwyn effectively cost us 2.5m and 37k a week, we have little to no chance of offloading him next season, would need to score 20 in the championship to justify that wage.

Eikrem 5/10 - Done basically nothing for us, but didnt cost much, and i cant imagine his wages are that high, also looks a neat and tidy player who could be a regular next season

Berget 0/10 - Who? what was the point in this one?? Should get a N/A really, but this signing baffles me.

Daehli - 10/10 has to be the maximum surely, should rip the championship a new one and puts 15m rated Zaha to shame, whatever we paid for him we can at least treble i think

Fabio - 7/10 - Probably on a lot of wages, but i dont think he cost a fortune, has looked really up for it the last few games to be fair, and should be fantastic in the championship, certainly has the energy for it.

Corneilius - 0/10 - Cost us 8m, and another 1m in wages, sold 5 months later for 3m... oh dear!

Spot on!

yes


I would rather keep him.

His and Kenwyne Jones wages won't be too far apart.

like hell would we pay 1.5m for Fabio when his contract was up in the summer, at most it would be 750k, maybe not even that.

I was the one who said 1.5 for fabio, my mistake. It was 1.5 for zaha on loan, Fabio undisclosed fee like the article says. Got them mixed up

keeping him wasnt doing our club or the young boy any good..........he came here on a huge fee and was found out to be nowhere near good enough to comand such a fee....was time to move on for everyone...
