Didn't we turn down the chance to sign Semi Crocks and he ended up having a decent season at WBA? His older cousin Ian was brilliant for us in the late 80s though.

Bill 1,788 Posted July 12, 2020 7 hours ago, Branston Pickle said: I wouldn’t be surprised if Byram was one of the high earners as he came in effectively as an established PL player (if one who was semi-permanently injured), and cost a lot less than he’d have otherwise been. Part of this lower Up-front price may well have been taking on his higher wages. Pretty much more thoughts WHU would have said you can have him. but you will need to buy out his current contract. So we either pay that, or a bigger transfer fee which either way amounts to the same. As to "some of those players think they could get double that with a transfer." That is a possibility that I doubt has occurred to many - we are truly blessed with those of incredible inside knowledge of the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annoying to see Rupp on the 2nd highest wages. Well if we are stuck with Drmic, I hope somehow he can turn it around next season. I have some striker in my mind that was crap in the prem for some side recently and then ripped it up in the champs the year after... i can't remember who though. If the alternative theory is correct and its Byram then I'm cool with that. He cost a few pence in transfer fee so if he's on big money then it explains that.

nutty nigel 7,607 Posted July 12, 2020 I have no idea who earns what. But Rocky's not at Blackpool now. He's at Mechelen in Belgium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 12, 2020 If he's on £15k then we have been mugged off. I kind of thought when he joined that he might have been for the first team though, given he's a Belgium u21 International Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 12, 2020 I'd be surprised if it were Byram, but I wouldn't begrudge him that money half as much as I would Drmic. Both injury prone, but Byram works his socks off when playing and Drmic looks disinterested to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not uncommon for players to take a while to adapt to Farke's system, and he had very little pitch time prior to the shutdown. I agree he has been awful since the restart, but give him a pre-season and Championship defences to run at and we might see a very different player. Same goes for Rupp, coming in half way through a season in which we're struggling big time and having to adapt on the fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same goes for Rupp, coming in half way through a season in which we're struggling big time and having to adapt on the fly. I do think everybody should get a clean slate, and I remember how poor Vrancic looked for the first 6 months so can't rule out Drmic improving somewhat, and he may well be one of those players who is too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for the Premier League (I really hope so). But I still think he doesn't look bothered, and that does bother me, and there isn't really going to be a pre-season this time around in the normal sense. I think Rupp looks like he'll be a useful squad player, and think he's got a bit of Gary O'Neil about him which we will see more of as he settles in and adjusts to English football.

Surfer 1,547 Posted July 12, 2020 If Drmic is really on £50,000 per week we need to already see him up, running and 100% committed. So far we don't, so get rid IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
