Does anyone really believe we should have matched or beaten Villa’s and Fulham’s wages on offer for these players?

Just for reference they are reportedly on:
Watkins: 75k
Cash: 65k
Robinson: 55k

Not one person here in the summer complained about us not paying those ridiculous figures. But now it’s an argument for ‘Wilder not being backed’ in the summer.

It’s not an issue for Villa or Fulham’s owners, they are absolutely loaded.
The Prince isn’t, and even if he was - would we want a relegated championship left back to become our highest earner on 55k? How would that go down with the squad who we’ve bleated the importance of this ‘wage structure’ to for 4 years?

Would we really have preferred the Prince to spend money we don’t have on the contracts of players who we don’t know are good enough for the league? Potentially risking the future of the club financially.
 



Disgusting wages. I'm happy with Bogle/Baldock and RND/Stevens/Lowe as our full backs next season.
I prefer Bogle to Cash as a player frankly.
Watkins would do fuck all, look how he’s struggling without Grealish.
I think Robinson would improve us, but his wages at Fulham are crackers.
 
I don't think the Prince should be criticised for his level of investment in the team. At the same time it shouldn't be simply ignored when critiquing wilders transfer activity.
I would agree with that to an extent. But we spent 23m on Brewster and 18m on Ramsdale when we were desperate for a midfielder. Desperate.

For me these two stand out as the poorest signings. I don't think the drop of form of Norwood and fleck would have been expected and at the time we obviously needed a GK and most agreed a striker was a must. The money could have been spent better but rarely (if ever) would a manager or even a director of football get it right all the time.

I like Ramsdale. And I think Brewster will be a good player.
But we could’ve took Ben Foster for 2m for example and then you’ve got 16m left for a midfielder or 2. That’s without that 23m we wasted on Brewster.
 
And he’s reading it
Understand you’re not the best with wages, you best run along 🤣🤣
Jags 50k a week 🥴🥴😂😂
When did I say jags was on that ?

Where did you get your figures from ?
 



Foxy/Linz , get some more bandwidth bought chubacretin is on 🙄
 
The Prince should be nowhere near a Premier League/ Championship football club. That's the point. He wouldn't buy Watkins when he was at Exeter and Wilder wanted him.
 
I didn’t complain at the time.

Realistically you can't pay the lowest wages for ever and it not catch up with you.

Anyway it's academic now.

We'll see how new manager does....
 
So, as per you’ve said nothing of substance, do you think we should have paid Ollie Watkins 75k+?
Well since you’re directly asking me, if the Prince has the money to do so then yeah, he’s far better than anything we have up top. Bare in mind I wasn’t engaging in ‘debate’ with you in the first place. Not everything’s about you matey. 👍🏻

I think unless you’ve got money coming out of your ears those wages if correct are astounding for Championship players

Says him who jumped on the thread 🤣🤣
 
Replying to someone that wasn’t you.

...🤣🤣🤣
You wouldn’t have come on the thread if you didn’t see it was mine.
I’m living in your head rent free, you should start charging.

Blimey if ever you could say something that proved you’re a complete narcissist. 🤢

I’ll leave you to it.
