Without wishing to pour cold water on this Savage thing....

I've heard that we are paying 15% of his wages, which comes out at just over 4k.

I'm delighted with the signing and I hope he performs.

Maybe a deal has been done already to sell Lynch to Forest, i would be interested to know if this is a stop gap deal or a long term option

 

[Easy 10]

Thats less than £4k. More like £3600.
And if that is the case, then I have NO qualms whatsoever.


Coo, I've not said QUALMS for ages.

Qualms.

15% of the rumoured value (£28,000) is £4200.

 

[Easy 10]

The Argus had his wages down as being £24k a week.

 

[Elder for England]

I was going to say I heard it was £4,000.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

So we get a £24k per week footballer for a fraction of the cost - job done! And whilst Savage distracts our opposing teams with his antics, the rest of the players get on and do the job. Excellent signing

Not sure I should say this but just how good is Mr Savage now? He's 33, can't get close to a start at Derby who are not exactly setting the Championship alight.

 

[Easy 10]

There'll definitely be a few 3rd division no-marks looking to boot Savage up in the air and make a name for themselves, thats for sure.

He's easily good enough for the 3rd division even at 33, I'd have thought.

I just think this kind of signing is so far out of our league its a bit scarey. If he turns out to be half fit and SHITE, its going to look like a very, very expensive mistake. Especially if come January we're seeing potential new signings turning us down because we couldn't agree personal terms.

Its an exciting prospect for now, but I just hope this doesn't come back to BITE us.

Even if we are paying £ 12k a week thats 48k for the month and as we spunked £ 55k on Dixon and Savage is likely to achieve more in 4 weeks than Dixon would in 10 years here I think its a great signing and sends out a real message.

BRIGHTON ARE BACK !.

It is an exciting signing BUT getting players on the way down rather than the way up is normally a shit idea. The last player we acquired like this was Paul more injuries than A&E on a Saturday night Kitson.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

The £12k I saw came from on here so you're right, it is completely fictional.

All we need now is for him to get sent off in his 1st game, with his suspension costing us, if that 12k is near the truth, the best part of twenty thousand pounds.
But sod it, the opposition are going to be looking over their shoulders for the next 7 games, and it'll be FUN to watch. I hope.

 

[SeagullEd]

Most definitly, I don't think we can expect miracles. Interest wasn't exactly booming, but Micky knows him and I think Micky can get the best out of him.

 

[timbha]

unless an individual (FBS, Bloom) or group of individuals are stumping up the money, say £25k for the month i doubt that we'll be paying much for him. We are probably paying Derby the same as we are getting from Grays for Dixon.

Nicky Forster and Guy Butters are two of the best signings this club has made in the last 10 years.
