Sidwell released

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Get the lad back here.

TNBA

TTF

 

[Paris]

He'll end up at somewhere like Leicester, WBA or QPR.

 

[Braders]

Would LOVE him back here , but I'm certain a lower half Premiership side will take a punt on him.


Also would we even come close to paying the wage he'd expect? FFP and all that..

 

[Da Man Clay]

It would be nice if we started sorting out positions we're actually short of than look for another CM(despite how good he is).

 

[southstandandy]

Wages ? anyone.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Wages ? anyone.

that's why he's leaving Fulham. We have to be realistic and realise we ain't going to compete for players of his quality.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We have to be realistic and realise we ain't going to compete for players of his quality.

In which case we also have to be realistic and realise we're not going to be getting out of this division anytime soon. At least not upwards.

We can get players of his quality, but wages would/could be an issue, though we have of course freed some up with Upson leaving - who knows.

 

[getofftheropes]

YES,YES AND YES go on tony sort it.

Spot on feller, like a couple of central defenders, goalkeeper and a couple of strikers would be nice. I really can't see the need for another midfielder.

You don't need to spend big wages on players to get out of this devision. There's a difference between paying reasonable wages, and being oversubscribing with big wages. Look at Burnley for example. And now look at Bolton, paying too much for no reward (aside from racking up a massive debt). Spending 10-15k a week on players is more than enough to get a competitive squad, not 50K a player!

 

[GT49er]

It won't happen overnight, but with FFP coming in, players whose contracts are ended - especially those that have been relegated - may well start to find that the next contract isn't quite as lucrative as the last one. Whether that will ever mean players coming down to accept our wage levels, I don't know - but hopefully it will eventually.

 

[The Birdman]

Loads of players over 900 out of contract is it time the wages need to be capped to protect the players.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

You don't need to spend big wages on players to get out of this devision.

You need at least spend enough to retain your best players tho eh?

 

[Icy Gull]

You need at least spend enough to retain your best players tho eh?

And have managers who want to stay

Well it probably helps replace the 3 that we've released/finished their loans...so entirely appropriate in my opinion.

Plus, there's nothing to say we aren't working on deals - no news does not mean nothing is happening.

How is that related to getting a different, significantly more expensive, player in?

How about the fact we have just signed one since the released list was named.

 

[Wozza]

Stoke.

 

[Napper]

Don't need him
