If sheff weds are priced out of a move for him though, i''d rather not. Whilst he''s good, i don''t think he''s outstanding. Therefore i''d only give him up to £5k per week at a push. He isn''t gonna be the one who would get us out of this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,654 Posted May 21, 2009 It''s bloody sad isn''t it - a few seasons ago a Bristol City cast off would have been quite reasonably dismissed by us/supporters: it would have been "if he''s not good enough for them he''s certainly not good enough for us", but the simple fact is that now we aren''t good enough for him, and it has to be said that he is pretty ordinary :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt give any player 5k, thats £250k a year. If our wage budget is £3m this year, then thats 1 ninth of our wage budget.Try 3k, thats a bit more realistic, considering Stefanovic probably takes 1 sixth of our wage budget.

Older players usually get more money, as do bosmans. Hopefully we''ll only need around 11 senior players anyway not including Cody and Rudd and that. That means we can afford £5k a week for a target man. It''s a twelfth anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately other clubs aren''t queueing up for a highly paid centreback in his mid-thirties that has been injured for the last 8 months. Would love to offload him, but where!?

Badger 0 Posted May 21, 2009 I would prefer Alan Lee. I can''t believe that there would be that much difference in wages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have no idea how much wages anyone is on or how much wages anyone coming to City would want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted May 21, 2009 I seem to remember a thread on here discussing average wages in League 1 being around the 100k mark or 2k a week. Cannot see that tempting many older players who need a last hurrah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reacher 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Yes he would do a terrific job for City in div 3 but dont know if we can afford him, the irony would be if Roeder or at the time player recruitment officer Gunn hadgot him this time last year to replace Dublin we would still be a championship side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
