Twitter Transfer Rumours

I know that players in L1 generally earn around 100k/annum max. I’m aware that the captain of a club that was recently in the championship was earning this level of money. If we’re proposing to pay Hirst more than 5k/week basic at his age and experience then we’ve lost our marbles (and we’re presumably only doing it on the expectations that someone will pay us 750k/1m for him within the next couple of seasons. 

My friend who played in the championship had two contracts at different teams around the 10k mark. 10 to 15 years ago.

 

Most teams give young players decent contracts to keep them in the hope of selling for a fee down the line.

That would surely have been at a decent sized club (or one that had been in the champ for a number of seasons) 

not many of those in league 1 once you’ve taken out sheff wed, derby, Portsmouth, Ipswich and perhaps charlton

No idea if he is reliable: 

 

 

It's most likely BS like all transfer rumours are on Twitter, but I have to take my hat off to Hirst if he's managed that, especially given his record at Championship level.

 

32 matches for Rotherham in 2020/21, zero goals

£7.5k L1.. said person is anyway. 

 

Had a half decent signing on fee chunk too. 

 

That's not to mention Salford throwing stupid money about. Even Wrexham in the National League are. 

 

Wrexham were offering more than L1 clubs to go and play in the National League. 

 

It's actually stupid money what footballers are on isn't it 

I was going to qualify that and say the majority of players, being signed at that level (which is key) are probs £2-4k. But then you have so many bigger clubs at that level who can afford £5k on squad players and still pay first team players over £10k.

 

Wrexham is crazy, especially the type of player they get too.

 

Lots of my family are Gillingham fans so I follow them pretty closely and the difference between their wage budget and the top teams in league 1 last year was mental. People think it's bad in the Prem for being a closed shop. There's no way Sunderland shouldn't have got promoted first season with a record points total when they had a wage budget probably 10-15 times that of the bottom team.

 

Your guy must be pretty pleased with that 

 

If only wed spent more time kicking a bag of air around as kids, life would be pretty cushy now.

A loan (with us paying half his wages) seems pointless. Get stuffed

Some extremely dubious twitter accounts linking us with Jacob Greaves, Young English cb who recently rejected a new contract at Hull: 

 

“URGENT: Leicester City are interested in Hull City centre-back Jacob Greaves as they anticipate Fofna's departure. He could move for £15 million. Previously wanted by West Ham in January. #LCFC #HCAFC #WHUFC”

He looks to be a front foot defender, most clips I see are of the ball on the deck so not not sure about him in the air… looks comfortable on the ball too and surprisingly quick.

Nobody going to say anything about the fact that the twitter user who posted this looks to be approximately 7 years old?

Won 68.6% of aerials duels last season

 

Evans won 74.6% (which was 9th highest in the league)

 

So looks to be pretty decent

[Ric Flair]

Good player, as is Ben Cabango.

the hull fans thought he was leaving for boro earlier in the window. They were disappointed but not distraught… they seemed to think 8m would have been fair … seems unlikely that he’d be good enough if that’s the feeling in his own camp. 

[Tielemans63]

I'd be all in favour of recruiting from the Championship tbh. Don't know much about Greaves but as Ric says, Cabango is a good player and I'm still hoping we're in for Josh Bowler.

Definitely. The likes of thos fella, Bowler and say Garner are exactly the profile of player that's served us well in the past.

I watched QPR Blackpool last night. Bowler did a couple of nice things first half and took his goal well. Good technical player but not very quick. Might do better in a better team

The one who did take my eye was the Blackpool centre half, Ekpiteta. Best player on the pitch and got man of the match. I'd never heard of him so looked him up. Blackpool player of the season last year. He's nearly 27 but spent a long time in non-league....Matt Elliott anyone.

 

Played like he had to win every ball and threw himself to block everything as well as having pace and reasonable ability on the ball. Sometimes think these players have more desire than those coming from Academies who are millionaires before they play in the first team.

If he's good enough he's old enough.
