I don’t remember us getting less for Reid and Bryan than we could have expected due to their contract length We got more than we ever could have imagined for Bobby Reid. At the start of the season before LJ was forced into making him a striker, I’d have given him away for free and you’d be hard pushed to find anyone who wouldn’t have. He was a midfielder and a complete liability on the ball. He’d give the ball away in the most ridiculous situations. But he really worked hard over that summer and became the fittest player about and fair play to him, it paid off. As for Bryan, I think he was £7m. Which was also decent business. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I was watching him yesterday and wondering why he seems to have lost confidence in his left foot. He looked a lot less balanced and one footed than before. There was a chance when the ball came back out to him on the edge of the box, and it was blocked because he took his time running around it to hit it with his right foot when the left was more natural. I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Scott does seem settled enough here. His interviews seems to indicate he happy to see season out . He gets more development and he gets better deal for him self and club get better deal when sold in summer. But I would worry about his agent dangling possible bigger wage packet in premier league with those sniffing around with possible offers during Jan.

I would imagine Scott wont want to chance joining a team who may get relegated, or be in a situation where game time is not assured. Therefore City and him have probably agreed that if he stays until the end of the season and the right offer comes in the summer, they wont stand in his way. I don't know who how I sit on Scott. One part of me wants him to join a Brighton, Leicester, Wolves etc and see him go with a sell on so when they sell to a big club we will further profit. However another part of me wants us to maybe sell to Arsenal, Tottenham or a big club in the summer, who might consider loaning him back to us next season, and we could agree bonuses based on number of games for a big club, international appearances or success for the club. I actually think the second option would benefit us more in the long term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope for Scott and the City a deal is done weather now or in the summer where both party's are winners. I want the best for City end of the day. But I really feel Scott could have a big future in the game. Would hate to see him move to PL club and sit in the reserves. Again my worry is if he has a greedy agent only trying to line his pockets from a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media is useful to find out stuff like a French journalist (who will know) that a club over there is after Han Noah, but no Prem club signs a player because some fan on social media raves about him after a game, they’ll be watching him anyway. On that topic I actually saw a Cheltenham fan yesterday saying he wondered if Massengo was joining them on loan because Wade Elliott said they were signing a midfielder.

When it’s a top 6 club their fan bases are ridiculous on social media. Obviously the club won’t go on Twitter and see fans are asking for Alex Scott so they’ll buy him, but they are fully aware of the noise around it surrounding certain players. You just have to look at the Mudryk deal recently and how big of a deal chelsea and Shakhtar made of it online. They knew full well how big it was with their fans. If spurs see they have hundreds/thousands of fans begging for Scott, it’ll definitely have some influence. Not huge, but some.

The only person it matters to is Max and if he's happy the numbers are irrelevant to us, why its always 10K I don't know 10K was a lot of money in football 20 years ago, now its the low end. The current championship average is ~£35k that is skewed towards forwards and midfielders, sadly for goalkeepers 11K is about the norm for a keeper, I would imagine Max is set for a new deal now he's essentially #1 and he will go from being on fairly low salary for a junior keeper to closer to that 10K I doubt he will make 10K though as that's the top end for a championship keeper.

The current championship average is ~£35k that is skewed towards forwards and midfielders, sadly for goalkeepers 11K is about the norm for a keeper, I would imagine Max is set for a new deal now he's essentially #1 and he will go from being on fairly low salary for a junior keeper to closer to that 10K I doubt he will make 10K though as that's the top end for a championship keeper. No. No it is not. Not even half that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will become 40 /50 grand a week when he moves to the PL. Its naïve to think he won't take that money, and i doubt the club would stand in his way. I actually think it very plausible he will sign a new contract with us in he coming months, potentially even for another four or five years. It would enable him to start getting paid what he is worth to the team in the here and now and I reckon we've built enough trust with our players that we will let them leave for the right opportunity at the price. He's definitely not going to be actually with us for longer than another 18 months (and I'd guess he'll go in the summer) but the fact he isn't likely to wait until 2025 to leave on a free means he has no real incentive to refuse to sign a contract if it comes with a pay increase.

If Max was on 10k a week here, we'd be looking to either negotiate or to get rid. Simple as that. There is no money in the Championship anymore so 10k is now seen as a lot again. Moving forward were not going to have many players on 10k+ a week I imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving forward were not going to have many players on 10k+ a week I imagine. 10k is not a lot of money even in a broke Championship, too much for Max I agree but still not a lot as an average. 10m is roughly what our wage bill should be, that's about 7K per week for a 30 man squad, obviously we pay some first teamers way more than others and the squad is a lot smaller than 30. We also don't have parachute payments so your Norwich's etc have much higher scope for wages and skew the average in the league.

It is what the proposed salary cap was to be based on. It’ll be lower now. You may well be getting confused with the ambiguous article that had an average of the highest paid player across each Champ club.

Quite feasibly it just always amuses me that this number of 10K always pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think our Upper cap in the near future would be- £15k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I can tell you one player who signed a new contract within the past year, who is deemed as one of the “youngsters” having spent lots of time on the peripheral of the first team squad (with League Loans) ,and now having made himself a established name in the team nearly quadrupled his old wage to roughly one third of what some people think O’Leary is on…… 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
