Ken Choo's £28m squad
Where has this figure come from ?
Is it transfer fees, as I'm struggling to get to the figure.
If it's wages hen all of the big earners were not Slades signings - and most don't justify their salaries.
I'm not sure it was fair to use this to judge Slade
Manga £5m, but misses half the games and is inconsistent when he plays
Morrison £3m, decent, but prob not worth that much. Injured a fair bit this year too.
Le Fondre £2m ish - doesn't want to be here
Adeyemi £1m - loaned
Pilkington £1.5m - has proved his worth IMHO
Turner £750k injured
Doyle - £700k, yes this one was Slades signing. Seems strange he was loaned out as our strikers were so poor
Marshall £500k- worth 10x that, so makes up for some of the above
Whitts £250k - bargain ,
Velikonja £2m ish ? Less said the better
Kiss - £500k ? Again, not up to it and loaned out
Note, both of these were Jones signings
Can't think of any other significant payments made - maybe a million on the others in total. Perhaps I've got some figures wrong.
If Choo is talking about annual wage bill then I guess Slade can be blamed for a few... Ameobi being the biggest disaster, but does he really carry the can for Jones, Velikonja , Adeyemi, Dikcachoi , Fabio ( maybe this one yes - as underused), Gunner, Le Fondre, Macheda, Manga, Morrison, etc probably on £10-£12m between them all not being worth the wages mainly Ole gave them.
Still a big job required this summer in finding clubs for most of these.
I reckon that - and being Tans ears on the new signings - is what Slade's role will be.

The last sentence sums it up and is a good call.Theres still a mess to clear up and Slades the best man to continue what he's started leaving the new guy to get on with producing the goods on the park.
