Yep spot on, more recently he was given more advanced roles but i think he could do this in a lesser league.

We should do this by making sure our sponsor is a dodgy business created just to put money into the club rather than a local company IMO

Difficult to say on any of them points really as I don’t watch enough Turkish football to understand the level but had he stayed here he would definitely be a starter for us and did have some good moments in a poor season for us last year. I think this is a decent deal for everyone and he will probably do well for you if you can keep him fit.

Maybe, but I’d hope we attract players that back themselves to make an impact and earn the incentives and a big move elsewhere. Tom Cannon is rumoured to be on about £25k and he had played and scored in this division. Obviously all depends what Swansea offer him though and how much we want him.

I feel sorry for the receptionist at their training ground. ”hi, I’m the new goalkeeper” ”wait a minute, let me just find your details on this list of 34 we’ve had in for negotiations today”

The average championship salary is around £20k a week. This guy has never played at this level and would probably be lucky to get that. We need to be smart with incentives. If he plays x amount of games or scores x amount of goals he gets a significant rise.

His actually says “born into billions”.

Another one of these Thai fan shirts, have they got the right team?

Has that been confirmed?

Anyone got any recommendations for sports massages in south Leicestershire? Feel like I’m reaching the stage where I’m going to start picking up injuries.

Would make sense, still a gamble though as if Mads has a bad season we likely wouldn’t get the fee that West Ham are currently after but if that’s a poor one then might worth the risk.

You’d imagine this would be pretty simple. Match the fee agreed or get pretty close or it’s not happening. I know we need the cash but if they offer a couple of million less and he’s not willing to go to Turkey instead we will have to accept it. Although, sounds like he’s agreed to go to Turkey.

That’s how you’ve started the thread though, and like you say that’s very clearly only come from one person. Fair enough to criticise the director of comms for our communication though, which has been absolutely non existent for a while.

I can’t imagine him going to Chelsea or Man U, he will need a few seasons at a team like West Ham to do that IMO.

Understandable. If Mads is still here he will be going on loan I recon.

We will definitely be soon at the stage where we consider selling players we would rather not sell if 2 or 3 others don’t leave this week you’d have thought.

Not just going out to bat, I’ve heard they are gathering at the boarder with weapons and are ready to fight

I dont disagree, my reply was clearly responding to the criticism that he only needed to win the ball back because he gave it away in the first place. The only bit I disagree with, is what I’ve highlighted. Review our win percentage with/without him in the championship.

I think that massively understates how good he was for us under Rodgers. As others have said, he was one of the best in the league at this for a few seasons and this helped contribute to our success. He definitely had his faults but under Rodgers, his job was very clearly win the ball back and play it simply to a better ball player. Agree re the second part, and it doesn’t make sense considering he was free last year. I’d wonder how much of his wages we are paying and this is really about the PSR impact of a big fee.

Probably not opinion based, probably more down to the reality of living in Turkey with his family which can’t be easy. This also has tax implications doesn’t it? At that fee we would obviously want it to happen, but the person needs to agree to it.

Other parts of the body are available to sign as well.

Sad to see him go but that’s an excellent price if it happens.

Somehow that came off, unreal.
