" Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

Apparently at least one of the highest wage players has to go.

And also Slade has been promised if he sells Davivd Marshall or offl loads Kenwyne Jones who is on approx £50,000 a week including,match appearances,bonuses and Ni/Tax etc he can get his midfielder as soon as.

Slade has been quoted that he is happy with this years squad and they are raring to go,with all pre-season plans gone very well :ayatollah:

We shall see if the money goes towards the transfer kitty or the debt I thinks its the latter tbh.

As much as I like Simon Moore, he isn't a Championship quality number 1 goalkeeper. He is back-up at best.
If we sell Marshall, we should be replacing him with another goalkeeper.

Rydo, That's exactly what I think 95% of it towards the debt,if we sell.

Your being generous thinking we'd get 5% the fact we're looking at myhill on loan says none will go back into player recruitment

I'm with you. We need a quality goalie if Marshall goes.

Hate to say this, but this is old news,but what isn't is that Slade now needs to offload a big earner before he can pursue his interest in this,almost mythical midfield player, now I know I'm getting on in life and prone to getting confused, but it was my understanding that Slade had virtually tied up the deal

Re: " Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

Mon Aug 10, 2015 2:24 pm

Think we need a goalscorer as well

He virtually had,but money talks and in football,nothing is guaranteed until finally signed,sealed and delivered :ayatollah:

Well if it comes off the debt happy days, that's what we all want ,its the debt to be reduced , isn't it ?

Re: " Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

Lets get rid of Jones. Costing us a fortune and he just does not seem to be available to us.

Re: " Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

Mon Aug 10, 2015 3:10 pm

It's easy for us all to say get rid of Jones, but nobody wants him with the wages he is on.
If he sits out the next 46 on 35k a week it's around the 1.6 million mark plus the odd appearance money and goal bonus's
I know what I would do

The irony is that if Marshall signs for a top premier club, he may not even be first choice! If that's the case, then only Tan wins.

Marshall will not sign for any team if he will be second choice. He needs first team football to keep his place in the scotland team.

I don't think he is in any hurry to leave, and will happily stay with no remorse if the deal falls through.

The club have already told him he can go at the right price, so of course he has said yes.

Re: " Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

Why is it up to Slade to move players on. Surely if the board do deals to buy players why aren't THEY getting the players offloaded.

OR is this ultimatum because Slade is trying to keep players and fighting back? Perhaps not the sheep I took him for.

Why don't we offer that they could loan him back to us once Foster is fit?
And who knows maybe Myhill will look great against Man City coming up?

Offer kenwyne to some brain dead qataris or something.

Or iff we get 15k odd attendance a game, everyone chip in 4 quid each, hey presto - 50k a game.

Re: " Russell Slade told if you want more players in "

If Tan cared a jot about the club then he'd realise that in order to get more fans back and, above all, in order to get promoted, we need two quality signings now - a box- to- box midfielder and a pacey striker.

I kind of agree because he has already shown massive loyalty to the club in not jumping ship long ago. That is a big thing these days.

I just think why would the board suddenly tell him he can go if he hasn't already asked??

I again agree he will want first team football every week but any dip in form could see him on the bench. It's so sad but bigger clubs can afford to pay wages just to have you at their beck and call. The goalie's spot is "dead man's shoes" because you only need one. Outfield players can be brought in for slightly different roles.

If Marshall goes, he needs a replacement. Saturday's error brought this into focus. It is a must-have position for a quality player.

Sorry but that's how I see it.

As an accountant I will say it's a bit unfair on Kenwyne to say 'he is on' £50,000 a week and include the NI/Tax in that. Kenwyne doesn't receive any of that personally. It would be more accurate to say he (allegedly)costs the club £50,000 a week.
