Reality check re: Bobby Zamora

[Brighton Breezy]

We need to be realistic about this rumour.

The fact is Zamora is on around 50k a week at QPR - we do not have a single player paid even approaching half that.

He only joined QPR last season. Hughes clearly rates him and the club invested a sizeable sum in him. If we can't afford 2.5m for the guy who started for Hull today, we definitely can't afford to buy Zamora.

A team likely to be down the bottom end of the Premier League will want four to five striking options.

Even if they DID want to sell and we COULD afford him , teams like Villa and Sunderland are both in the market for his sort of player.

I don't want us to head in the direction of Pompey and pay high wages to gamble on success.

A far more realistic move would be for Jay Bothroyd on loan from QPR. Similar style, less wages, less in demand and further down the Loftus Road pecking order.

Bobby is not coming back.

2 years maybe. Now? Absolutely no chance.

Jay Bothroyd would be a great signing.

Reality check in general regarding striking options. Just about all the names suggested are unrealistic and the ones that actually are realistic like Beckford and Barnard just get shot down and complained about, it already reads like a Pompey forum in some ways.

Do you know what wages jay bothroyd is on ?

No doubt more than we pay, but is going to be playing reserve team football for the foreseeable and QPR might just be open to a loan until Jan.

 

[Silent Bob]

Only way I can see Bobby coming back is a Wayne Bridge type situation where they pay a massive portion of his wages because they are never going to use him. I don't think Bobby is likely to be in that situation, not in the immediate future anyway. I think he's on more than £50k too.

I've been touting Bothroyd on 'who would you like' type threads all summer but even he's probably making more racks than we can pay.

Zamora isn't on 50k a week.

Try halving that

 

[Silent Bob]

Zamora isn't on 50k a week.

Try halving that

Its widely reported hes on AT LEAST 50k. He was on 45 at Fulham and they had to up it to get him to move.

 

[DJ Leon]

I think he's on £90k at QPR. Doubled his Fulham wages.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Zamora isn't on 50k a week.

I've tried that...and it's wrong.

He IS on at least £50k. He was on £45k at Fulham and QPR beat that when they were desperate to sign players to avoid relegation in January.

That is why Djibril Cisse is on MEGA MONEY

 

[Baaaald]

He is on 90k a week. The only way we would get him is if there was a bridge style loan deal. Maybe we should move on and look to the future.

 

[matthew]

Isn't CMS on like 25k?

 

[TottonSeagull]

Like anyone really knows what any player really gets! You are all picking numbers out the sky!

 

[StonehamPark]

There's was an article on Bobby Z moving to QPR and they upped his wages from 45K to 50K.
The 90K 'figure' was from Mr Z reportedly claiming he wanted to move from Fulham to a better club and double his wages.

From what Gus was quoted as saying earlier, near enough every name that's been named on NSC is unattainable.
Especially Greg Bobkin. Reported 195K p/w.
