whitlock Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Can't imagine us doing many deals with the game tonight. If no one has signed/left before the game then I don't see much business being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adster Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 So. Boro' have some money burning a hole in their pocket and are looking for a striker. Hmmm. Wonder what today will hold for them ?? Later today.. "Middlesbrough have announced the signing of Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford on a five year contract". Leicester fans: :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 yes pulled his hamstring so it looks like we are stuck with him Well as he's there until the end of the season, even if they send him back they have to pay for him until the summer.

Happy Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Yes, We're still paying a % of Matt Mills wage on the years he had remaining with us also How can that be possible, he joined Bolton on a permanent transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Not the case unfortunately If someone agrees to sign a player until the end of the season, that's a contract for that amount of time. If they wish to terminate that then they still have to pay, likewise if a team who owns a player they've loaned out wants them back they often can't. I'm sure we're still paying a good amount of Beckfords wages but he went on record saying he's agreed to a pay cut to go there so not only are Huddersfield paying a %, but Beckford has agreed to earning less to go there.

Albert Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Doesn't matter. Was part of the agreement to force the move through. Bolton couldn't match his weekly wage of his contract with us so we agreed to pay a % of his wage for the remaining years of what he had left with us.

hackneyfox Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 It seems to be an accepted fact on here that NFP has slashed the amount we pay in wages. Is that really true, we've only sold Mills and we're still paying part of his salary, we've loaned out Danns & Beckford and are paying a large part of their salaries. The players who have been bought probably aren't on low salaries as other teams were sniffing, particularly in the case of Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of loans like Johnson, Fernandes. Plus sending some of our on long term loans (Beckford and Danns). So yes I would say he has cut down on wages since Sven went.

MGLCFC Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Yuki Abi left, Gelson Fernandes and Michael Johnson were on huge slaries. Bamba went and I have thought Yakubu was on 50000 a week whilst he was here. Added to all the other loanees from Chelsea, Spurs Man City ertc, I bet the weekly bill was huge under Sven.

Not true either - when do you ever see seriously injured players staying with the clubs they are loaned out to I'm not saying Pearson will have him back but he will be leaving Huddersfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point in us loaning him out for more than a couple of months at a time is to get a commitment from someone. If they weren't committing to wages for the that whole period we may as well loan him for a month at a time rather than half a year or a full year.

This certainly sounds the most plausible situation - I cant believe that you can take a £3.5 million player (I know, I know) on loan , get the lender to subsidise the cost of his wages and then return him broken at any time. even in the mad world of footy that is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
