If refusing to pay him the ridiculous sums he's asking for is levering him out, then yeah, we are levering him out
How ridiculous is the ridiculous sum?
Far above what we should be paying, no matter how good he is.
Plus bonuses!
Is it really that ridiculous if there are at least 5 other clubs queueing up to pay it?
That would suggest that his request isn't ridiculous, you just don't think the club should pay Premiership level wages for Premiership level players.
Ha! Since it's Xmas
I do think Killa is probably worth what he's asking though. He's a Premiership player and that's where we want to be apparently. People balked at Beattie's wages, but we'd have gone up if we'd have kept him last season.
Spot on Foxy.It is ridiculous.
Killa is currently a championship level player, who has shown glimpses of being better than that.
His wage demands and bonuses are those of a Premiership player who is consistantly performing well in the Premiership.
I don't think we should meet his demands because I feel they are currently too high for him as a player. Certainly when you take into consideration our current position and finances and the effect that bowing to his demands would have on the rest of the squad and any potential signings.
If he can get what he's asking for elsewhere, fair play to him, I'd rather not Sheffield United take on the burden, whatever our ambitions.
It is nice to sign/keep players who people may believe are "Premiership quality", but there has to be a limit on how we risk to achieve that.
Who's falling out?
Out of interest, what do you think he's worth?
Base weekly wages + bonuses?
I couldn't answer that without a list of all our player's wages, a list of transfer targets (with information on the likelihood of a possible transfer) and probable wage demands, a copy of our budget and a discussion with Mccabe about his plans for the next few months. Daily Mirror figures are meaningless.
But the point was that there's a difference between what he's worth and what we could and should pay him.
was i close Foxy?
He is asking close to £30K a week, and we can't afford it.
Also I'd like to know what evidence this is that we would of gone up if we'd of kept Beattie.
Implied keep on talking about that there are club that will pay it but they aren't in our league apart for Newcastle who have a wage bill over 6 times what we have.
