There are plenty of ways of structuring pay deals. Bonuses, image rights, all sorts. But in every club, different players are on different contracts.

I already knew, I meant if we offered a 3 year contract we'd be covered.

Why would someone fake the often wrong Pete ?
At least fake a source with some credence.

Big difference between 65k a week and stupid stuff seen in England with very average PL players on 120-140k. I'd be suprised if this happened but if we were to pull off a marquee signing this is the kind of one you'd predict. His club want rid so by holding on longer than we would ideally like to, we might be able to save a couple million on the fee that can be used toward the wages. Playing hardball and gambling that nobody is going to overpay.
He's still a good age at 27 and exactly the type of striker we would want to compliment what we have already. Also most places he's been he's probably been the complimentary player in the attack not the main man. He scores more prolifically for Montenegro where he's the focus and he might crave being that at his age. Unlikely but we can dream!

Possibly more interesting for the names he doesn't mention........

Bedwetters in those that believe as we haven't finalised our squad or bought in a striker yet believe we are doomed.

Why would that be the case? Are we not playing in "the richest League in the World" now? I would have assumed there is less money in La Liga (outside the top two who are above such issues) that the EPL, which should translate to us having the ability to spend a little more than them on wages. Also, being newbies in the top flight we don't have any old contracts still knocking around that are draining our resources.

Also we have spent about £12 million in transfer fees compared to £40 million or so by Huddersfield, so there should still be plenty of gold coins in the treasury.

Exactly. I think we've all got into a bit of an automatic knee jerk with the whole "wages" as an immediately dampener on potential signings, but the reality is that we are now in a better position than we have ever been, and one of the better positions in the whole of Europe. No baggage of old contracts, have a huge EPL income, not spending on redeveloping a stadium, and as you have said, we are yet to spunk a massive chunk of our money on transfer fees. I certainly don't think we are out of the running because Seville are struggling with his wage demand.

Agreed. I believe the club are playing the transfer market like a game of poker. They are seeing who "Blinks First" to get the best deal.
I seriously believe we will be getting the players in (especially the striker we all crave) that we need.
I think we will get them in by 1 September, not necessarily 12 August.
Why? Man City is a write off, so prospective 2 signings are missing 2 'important' games max. I'd rather we took our time and got the right players.

Why ?... will Home to City and away to Leicester and Watford define our season before the window closes
Of course it does we are going to be the first side relegated by the end of August. Whilst ots impossible I read it on here so it must be true

The first 2 games will give CH an early indication of where we stand and what we need, hopefully on loan before the window closes.
