Stephen Ward deal NOT done (yet?)

[Hugo Rune]

On a kind of BOGOF offer, you mean?

Yes, that was the kind of deal I had in mind. Two paddys for der price of one to be sure!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Does anyone know how clubs pay their players?

We always talk about how much a player gets paid a week, but do they get paid every week i.e. 52 weeks of the year.

Or are they paid on a pro-rata basis i.e. just during pre-season and the season proper, so no payments from the end of the season 'til they return for pre-season?

Just curious!

They get paid monthly.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Seems the transfer fee is the sticking point now, maybe a deal has already been done with Ward ( and a medical completed).....

Ward is in limbo as Brighton and Wolves haggle over a transfer fee, while Doyle is left to ponder if QPR will ask him to return to Loftus Road after his successful loan spell ended there in May.

The first paragraph contradicts the fifth paragraph in that article.
The Republic of Ireland internationals Kevin Doyle and Stephen Ward remain unwanted, according to their club manager Kenny Jackett -

How can Ward be unwanted when we are haggling over his transfer fee?

 

[portslade seagull]

Are we haggling about the transfer fee ? probably not, if we are it will be a late August decision

 

[BrianWade4]

Let's take Doyle too!

I thought exactly this as well

They get paid monthly.

Unless you're at (Dirty) Leeds

Reckon it's along the lines of he's on 20k a week for another year and we only pay 10-15k MAX. Wolves refusing to pay 5k a week. Common sense says if they do but we pay 250k transfer fee or don't and we take him for free, give him a 2 year contract at 15k but a 250k signing fee.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

FFS. Can't we just get on with it? This pre-season is getting more and more frustrating as each day goes by.

I agree. It's ridiculous. We haven't signed anyone for TWO DAYS

Your figures are way out. He was on 13K a week at Wolves.

Clearly not.

Ok I'm gonna have a go - as of Monday 9am Steven Ward will be announced as our player within 72 hours #InTheKnow

Still maybe...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Clearly not.



Still maybe...

But in the end... failure.

Better?

 

[Triggaaar]

Better?

Maybe just remove the 'medical completed', unless we actually have a good source that it's true.

When I saw the new title, I thought there was some new hope
