Four bids

More chance of buying four candles.

Wilder wouldn't have chased Waghorn for so long if wages were going to be an issue. You also have no idea what our wage structure is so any discussion on the matter is complete guesswork.

Jesus christ, wages WERE the issue. He's said as such himself!!!

Pugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew

With perhaps Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub to come in January

Why would it be great? If Wilder thinks they're good enough it would be great if we got them as cheaply as possible. That sort of comment reminds me of what I said earlier in the summer in that some fans don't even care if a player is good enough or if they fit into our system as long as we can say that we've spent loads of money by signing them.

Also, the 'precious' wage structure is there for a reason. It's like me buying a really expensive car and then saying "it's great that I've completely blown my monthly budget by buying this really nice car", whilst the bank takes my house away.

Suggests Wilder hadn't done his homework properly then or that Waghorn was asking for something ridiculous, which I'm sure you'd have been happy for us to agree to

 

[Blade56]

Everyone's making the mistake of 4 incoming. Reality scatter gun, get one forget others. Best will be 1 incoming.........

Unless we're losing a big name

 

[Pinchy]

Indeed, that is a complete guess. But there are plenty of players we could pick up for cheaper in fee's who's wages are too high to fit within our wage structure. That was my point, I'm sure that wasn't hard to understand.

No, but economics clearly is...

Or maybe he was asking for you know, the going rate for a top championship striker.
How dare he?

Here you go.

I'd love you to attempt to tell me how my point doesn't make sense and in turn make yourself look stupid. Which admittedly isn't difficult for you.

 

[Pinchy]

The side-splitters are out in force again...

 

[Silent Blade]

We say this every year don’t we?

You say at the beginning of each transfer window that we will sign no one, don't you?

 

[Bladesman]

Four seasons.

No he hasn't, he said personal terms couldn't be agreed. We don't know what scuppered the deal because we're not privy to that information.

We could easily have agreed wages but the player's agent held out for an enormous signing-on fee and a guaranteed start every week for the player, in which case we might not have wanted to pay a huge fee and Wilder wouldn't want to play someone out of form just because his contract says he had to.

Simple fact is we don't know, so it seems a daft thing to beat the club with when we don't know exactly what happened. Rather wait to hear 'His weekly wage was not what we think he's worth' than jump to owt.

It makes complete sense if you are intending to inject millions of pounds into a loss-making enterprise. You are, aren’t you?

Personal terms usually mean wages. 99 times out of a hundred.

We've simply been blown out of the water by Boro or Derby, we haven't been in the running ever since Derby got involved.

 

[Liaminho9]

With Derby signing Waghorn, i wouldn't be surprised if someone like Nick Blackman is on our radar.

There’s nothing too daft that it can’t be used to conduct a campaign against the club you risibly claim to support...

No-goals Nick? Just the job.

 

[dc_blade]

Don't think the issue with Waghorn is that we couldn't afford his wages. I think we've stayed in the race for him precisely because we can offer him a contract better than he's on at Ipswich.

The problem is, Boro and Derby can afford that and then some more.

Wilder's been a victim of his own success in a way. To improve on last year, when we were in the hunt for the play offs till April, we need to be buying top-six Championship players. But the other clubs who aspire to that, and who want those players, simply have more money than us.

 

[LJBlade]

Or maybe he was asking for you know, the going rate for a top championship striker.
How dare he?

But again, Wilder would know what the 'going rate' is and he wouldn't have gone for him if he presumed that would be an issue. Either Wilder doesn't know what the going rate is or Waghorn was asking for way beyond what is reasonable. Regardless of what he was asking for I assume you'd have been happy for us to pay it because, as you say, it would be great if we could break our wage structure

Everyone but me, it would seem. Thanks Onecellbrain.

If we want to sign top championship players we are going to need higher earners than Billy Sharp.

Too much common sense in this post

 

[LJBlade]

So if Waghorn was after 2x+ more than what our highest earner was on you'd have been happy for us to pay it?

Such unassailable common sense. There’s nothing for you here.
