LQ 0 Posted May 27, 2009 I probably said (as I do whenever we sign a new player) "don''t cast a clout till May is out" lke my Dad always said - or don''t criticise till you''ve seen what they can achieve for you kids!Neither of these players were ''cheap'', Smudge. They were both what ''the man'' thought we needed.Bless old Granty though. He was a good guy who was out of his league. Still, some people loved him...

LQ 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Or no ''fee'' but a very persuasive manager-agent discussion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish Seller 0 Posted May 27, 2009 I''m aware we pay disproportionately large agents fees at this club but free plus wages has to be cheaper than say £1,000,000 plus wages doesn''t it? Some rules of thumb are as follows:Free plus low wages no signing on fee = crap.Free plus low wages plus signing on fee = not very good.free plus good wages plus signing on fee = likely to be average at best.free plus large signing on fee plus large wages = aging faded Prem player.expensive plus good wages plus large signing on fee = good.Like all rules of thumb not 100% accurate but a fairly good guide.Now Fozzy was what? Free check. good wages check. signing on fee ( well so you imply) check. = Average at best and guess what LQ ''Average at best'' is how many thousands of fans who watched him play regularly might describe him.

LQ 0 Posted May 27, 2009 A purely personal opinion would say ''below average'', but then I wasn''t the one being persuaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
