johnny the fox Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Where'd you hear that? http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/leicester-city-set-to-beat-everton-to-championship-winger-after-offering-contract/?
Babylon Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 You could pay him 60k a week over 3 years and he still ends up costing you no more than buying him for say £5m last summer and paying him 30k a week. I don't for a minute think we'd be paying that for him anyway... but you get the idea.
Carl the Llama Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Really hope we're not offering the full 80. Don't get me wrong I'm tending towards wanting him here, but certainly not on that much...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Championship players don't get paid £80k per week to come to the prem. He would be on something less than Ulloa who probably earned a lot more than his basic after scoring 13/14 goals.
dannythefox Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Are people mad on here pearson will not pay 40k never mind 80k a week do people realise who you could get for 80 a week? Not a championship player that's for sure.
NewburyFox Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 He was on £25k per week at Wolves. If he wants more than double that you should tell him to do one. Oh and he's very left footed. Occasionally connects with one with his right foot that flies in, but most of them end up in the stands. 16 goals from the wing is impressive, do you think he can make the step up?
The Bear Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 I'm not sure. If I was pushed I'd say no. He's a bit too inconsistent really. Roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 games he's just abysmal. Nothing he tries works, he overhits crosses and blatts every shot into row z. When that happens he tries too hard and gets a bit greedy as well. That's OK in the Championship it I don't think you can get away with it in the Prem. He also used to be a defensive liability when tracking back but he's improved a lot in that respect. When he's good though he's absolutely magic!
Carl the Llama Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Trudat, I don't really expect him to offer nearly that much, just talking for the sake of it I spose.
dayday Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Strange that nobody has tried to sign him since Wolves got relegated from the prem.
4everfox Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Strange that nobody has tried to sign him since Wolves got relegated from the prem. Strange that Wolves didn't sign him until they got relegated from the prem.
My Nads Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 I'm not sure. If I was pushed I'd say no. He's a bit too inconsistent really. Roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 games he's just abysmal.

When he's good though he's absolutely magic! When he was good it was usually against us!

When he's good though he's absolutely magic! Doesn't sound too convincing to my ears. £80k a week for a player without Premier League experience and his last Ligue 1 campaign almost three years back appears rather greedy to me, even the also rumoured £50k a week plus a sign-on fee are more than just a bit excessive. I don't think there are a lot players within our current squad that earn as much as he'd do. This could potentially unsettle the dressing room to a certain extent (salary coupled with him not having played in the PL before). Don't get me wrong, I think he's a more than decent player, but trying to triple your salary just because? I'd rather we sign and pay Sako bonuses based on performances.
Max Power Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 No-one's gonna give him £80k a week ffs. Least of all us.
SecretPro Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 £80k a week? He's be lucky to get £80 a week the cheeky barstaard
Dan Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 Happy for us to pay a bit as we can afford it, but nothing obscene. £80k a week far crosses the line of "obscene". If he wants that he'll be told to **** off by any club with sense.
Dan Posted 5 June 2015 Posted 5 June 2015 You could pay him 60k a week over 3 years and he still ends up costing you no more than buying him for say £5m last summer and paying him 30k a week. I don't for a minute think we'd be paying that for him anyway... but you get the idea. Different though if you set out the precedent of paying someone that much. I've seen nothing to suggest he's better than Mahrez and as a result Mahrez would probably end up asking for the same. It's different with Cambiasso as he's blatantly on another level to the squad. Is Bakary Sako? Nah.
Ric Flair Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 I'm not sure. If I was pushed I'd say no. He's a bit too inconsistent really. Roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 games he's just abysmal.

When he's good though he's absolutely magic! So he's Riyad Mahrez then?
LCCFox96 Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 The £80k per week figure he is demanding is clearly not true. Not club in their right minds would pay him that and, whilst he is a free agent and can probably get away with demanding a little more on his salary due to the absence of a transfer fee, roughly tripling his reported £25-30k per week wages is excessive. The wage figure will be the media trying to spin out a transfer story due to them knowing Sako wants to leave Wolves. I'd be amazed if he's asked for any more than £45k-50k per week max because his ability and contract status probably suggests that is his maximum.
Nick Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 If we have Fuchs and are in for Sako, it makes me wonder if Jeff is off.
chapero82 Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 We would not even pay Defoe anywhere near that so I can't see us offering 80k a week to an unproven player at all
Guest Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 Can people stop on about £80k and then using it as a reason to knock the player. It's BS.
queensguardfox Posted 6 June 2015 Author Posted 6 June 2015 i can see this going through, confirmed in a few days. Far from a bad signing, if it true about other clubs being interested then hes got some potential. I cant see him demanding that much, taken all out of context. We know what nigel is like with signings, all the times we have tried to second guess NP and got it wrong. How many times do we try to second guess him untill we learn? Welcome to LCFC Sako
Robin JD Popley Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 As Geoff said a few days ago on this same thread, we wanted him last season and there must have been some snags to stop the deal going through (we can all assume who may have had a big say in those buffers and said party is no longer in the employ of our club); so I would assume it will probably work out well. I must say whenever I've seen him play, he has got a little bit of that extra quality - okay, he isn't without fault but he is a game changer. People have cited Bolasie as an excellent comparison and on those grounds, I am all for us signing him. Albeit cautious, I am hopeful that this summer will set us up well for another excellent campaign of football!
