birchfest 397 Posted April 2, 2016 There''s an option to buy. Still need that ''other'' striker but I''d be chuffed for us to keep him if we stay up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,502 Posted April 2, 2016 Him & Klose are probably our best two genuine game changing PL class players. We really need players of their ilk coming in to thrive in this league. If there''s any chance of signing him without breaking the bank, then it''s a must (assuming we survive - which we will!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted April 2, 2016 Sooner or later we break the glass ceiling for a quality player...how does anyone on here know how much Mbokani is on?we can make his wages up with bonuses, goals, assists, staying up etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,121 Posted April 2, 2016 "When he plays like today" - trouble is, he isn''t normally (ever) as good as we saw today. Everyone in the squad has the occasional good game in them. For £5.5 million and a sensible wage, definitely sign him up, but he''s not worth risking dissent with the rest of the squad by paying too high a wage on the evidence so far.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted April 2, 2016 He was awesome today, really deserved his goal, if we stay up then we can afford him, imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted April 2, 2016 Nuff Said:"When he plays like today" - trouble is, he isn''t normally (ever) as good as we saw today.---------------------------------------------People forget so quickly. He''s normally a lone striker with naff all support. Mostly he''s performed as today, but he''s had to create everything for himself. I think he''d become a bit downhearted when we couldn''t buy a result, but we don''t have another striker with the touches of magic he''s got, & if the whole team are up for it, like today, he will score & create goals. Genuine class - & that is a rare commodity & will not come cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted April 2, 2016 Break the wage structure for one player and it becomes the new ceiling. New signings will want this amount, existing squad players will want raises and before you know it your entire wage bill has risen by x%.It needs to be handled slowly and incrementally.Much like my pen1s, in fact.

? 0 Posted April 2, 2016 So are you conveniently forgetting that should we stay up our income will increase cica 70% per season?? The wage structure will almost certainly be changed next year should we remain in the Prem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted April 2, 2016 If we stay up the whole wage structure thing will be completely redone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted April 2, 2016 It won''t go from 40k to 75 though. I would hope and expect it will be done incrementally and in line with a risk based approach as we will still be vulnerable to relegation for the next few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
? 0 Posted April 2, 2016 So you are now presuming Dave is on £75k per year? Seen his contract?How much are we paying of his current wages then? So any players who the management think would be beneficial to the team next year would be restricted to our current wage structure?I actually think circa £75k next year would be a reasonable wage as its not just us who potentially will have a massive increase in income but the while league will!

Well b back 3,201 Posted April 2, 2016 [quote user="Ron Manager"]Wow we''ll be back, shoot didn''t know that will do!! Apologies!![/quote]Yep thats why the song stopped. This is from his Wiki page in case people think it is made up.On 9 August 2011, he signed a contract with Anderlecht for a reported fee of €3 million, stating that he looked forward to playing together again with his friend Milan Jovanović.[5] The start of his spell at Anderlecht was dramatic, first injuring himself during one of his first training sessions, meaning he would be sidelined for at least two months.[6] Then, about one week later his five-month-old son, David Mbokani, died of a cardiac arrest in his sleep.[7]Was not having a go if you did not know you did not know but thought it worth sharing again as he is clearly going to be talked about over the next few weeks.

Hairy Canary 697 Posted April 2, 2016 He has the making of a top PL striker and we know how valuable they are. Not surprisingly it''s taken him a while to settle but I think it''s fair to say that he''s given every team he''s played against problems.He was outstanding today. His ability in the air is awesome. Certainly we need to buy him if we possibly can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted April 2, 2016 I am only being pedantic if you think words, and the meaning of words, are unimportant.You say Mbokani is on 75k a year. It is not pedantic to point out this is wildly wrong and therefore any discussion needs to be based on correct detail.Do I think Mbokani is worth 75k a week? No. But I don''t think any professional footballer is worth that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted April 2, 2016 If you want to play, & stay, in this league then sooner or later, ceiling or no ceiling, you will have to pay somebody £75k a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
