Happy Fox Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 That's the thing though. The owners were banking on us being a Premiership club by the end of this season. We have to get their pretty soonish by next season at the very latest, FFP will not look pretty.
cc_star Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Very pointless to let him go while we haven't got a replacement in yet, lets hope we get someone in fairly quickly. We just signed Drinkwater allowing a remarkably average player in every respect & his £2m/yr wages to leave. Good business
Happy Fox Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 We just signed Drinkwater allowing a remarkably average player in every respect & his £2m/yr wages to leave. Good business I didn't know about the 40,000 wages at the time I posted what said, it is good business
Webbo Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 If the money is true then you can see why Pearson let him go. It can't do team moral much good when you are playing every week and getting half as much as someone who can't get a game. That's apart from the reduction in the wage bill.
Happy Fox Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Why were the owners stupid enough to part with those wages for Yuki yes I know he was part of their global brand, but surely getting a higher profile player than Yuki would of been better.
Guest Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 You think that team morale will be hurt because I'm only earning 30K a week and someone on the bench is getting 40K? If that's the case then I have a serious problem. situations change throughout the season and wages change throughout a career. Howard was earning more than Schlupp at the beginning of the season - it didn't make him a better player and I'm sure that Schlupp wasn't looking at his wages and crying.
Cropwellfox Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 As I posted previously of those wages he'd be paying a good proportion to his former employer/club. In Japan they don't tend to pay transfer fees directly to the club but rather via the wages of the player who in turn passes the money onto his previous club. Still thats a **** load of cash. This is on the money - pardon the pun - am sure when he signed there was lots of talk some kind of deal where we paid barely any fee but loaded his wages. Doesn't make sense to have that kind of salary on the bench at best. Liked the guy though, not his fault how the deal was structured.

Schlupp's on his first pro contract in the game, it makes a difference. If you think footballers are immune to the same resentments and petty jealousies as the rest of us then I have a serious problem.
Babylon Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 People guess he cost two million. It's "reported" he's on 40k. And "speculation" Everton were interested. Any facts in this thread other than he has been average? ;-)
demon_dog Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Always thought he was decent enough, quite liked to see him play. He was I felt one of our better midfielders. It must be Wellens fault he's gone !
HitchinFox Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Not sure if this qualifies for 100 per cent confirmation but... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16671180.stm These rumours of Yuki wanting to go back have been around for quite a while. I always liked him as a player although Premiership quality he is not. Mentioning that purely in terms of our long-term ambitions to be there one day. Although to be fair, it's not like we're teeming with Premiership-quality midfielders at the moment. He always gave 100 per cent and being lazy was one thing he could not be accused of. I thought he did well for us. All the best to him. Good lad.
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 He has gone, Stringer confirmed it on Twitter
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 The goals he scored from free kicks for us were immense
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 That's the thing though. The owners were banking on us being a Premiership club by the end of this season. The ridiculous wages for pretty average players again smacks of 'The Sven way'.. I know that the manager does not ultimately decide transfer fees and wages, but Sven must have recommended to the board what he thought his signings were worth. I was under the impression that Beckford was our best paid player.. But I may be wrong. Now that Pearson is in I expect to see more suitable signings at realistic money. The club was harmed by appointing SGE as manager. I have little doubt of that.
Kitchandro Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 People still wish we'd kept him? Maybe he's not such a hard-done-to hero after all.
Narborough Bod Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 The ridiculous wages for pretty average players again smacks of 'The Sven way' Abe was pre Sven.
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Abe was pre Sven. I know that... I was talking about Mills et al
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 I wish we kept him, unless the figure being banded about are true, which I doubt. Nobody would be that stupid. I don't feel we got the best out of him. Featuring regularly he might have toughened up and adapted his game, but in and out as he was - not a chance. Thanks Yuki and all the best.

What about in training? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to work on stuff then.
mattsmith74 Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Don't want to get hammered as there seems to be an anti Twitter mafia on here but I tweeted Stringer and he replied saying that he doesn't expect Abe to go just yet as J League doesn't start til March. Maybe we'll have him for another 6 weeks or so but not sure what the point of that it.
5waller5 Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 I know that... I was talking about Mills et al In an Abe thread!
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 In an Abe thread! Read back through the thread... It's not only been about Yuki... Wages etc
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 What about in training? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to work on stuff then. If you think that training - in any aspect of life - can wholy prepare you for the real thing, then you're as deluded as anyone who runs training courses*. *who are deluded muppets.
leicesterseddon Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Never really bought this argument that he's a 'class player'. I think anyone with genuine class would stand out in this league; at the very least, they would be on the teamsheet every week! Having said that, he's a good, competent professional footballer but I don't think he's anything more than that. Much like our other current midfielders, he struggles physically in this league, and let far too many games pass him by. If the rumours of him earning £40k a week are true...well, that's just a farce, and underlines perfectly how much money has been wasted since the new owners arrived. And the worrying thing is, he won't be the only one on that kind of deal...
5waller5 Posted 22 January 2012 Posted 22 January 2012 Read back through the thread... It's not only been about Yuki... Wages etc Me thinks you were having a pop at Sven for Abe's wages...
