NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Thank god!! Anyone else heard that he is still our highest paid player around the 5k a week mark?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walking Man 13 Posted January 28, 2010 I''ve heard he''s on pretty big wages, but I believe that Hughes is the highest earner on 7k a week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Unreal that he is that high up on the wage bill.... Hughes not surprising from what i have seen probably could cut it at championship level!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walking Man 13 Posted January 28, 2010 It''s not that surprising Curo''s high up on the wage bill if you think that when we re-sogned him he was Championship leading goalscorer the previous season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted January 28, 2010 True, 23 goals in the Chamionship was a good return but like any Norwich fan that has watched him in the last two years should know that his legs have gone, evidence of this is getting caught offside constantly!!! Our relagation season he had so many chances i mean even O.G. scored more goals than him.... Poor Poor Player.... should of shipped him off to Barnsley when we had the chance!?

Big Slob 0 Posted January 28, 2010 I''ve heard he''s on 8k a week, not sure about the truth of it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted January 28, 2010 [quote user="Big Slob"]I''ve heard he''s on 8k a week, not sure about the truth of it though[/quote]I heard this too, but think he had a contractual wage cut if we got relegated.I imagine Gills will only be loaning him so would expect we will still be paying the majority of his wages. Every little helps though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Well its save to say that he will be on a serious wage cut at Gillingham. I dont question his want to do well for City in the past and he did have glimpes, i.e. Scum game 2-2, and his hatrick against Barnsley but never performed consistantly for us. It just angers me that he can claim 5-8k a week of us and not produce the goods!!!! I went and watched training last season as my friend sponsers Tom Adeyemi, and he drives a Bentley but ironically he was wearing the donkey shirt that the players issue to the donkey of the game previously missed two sitters against Plymouth!!!Shocker.....

First Wizard 0 Posted January 28, 2010 As I supected, you''re just guessing, Jamie''s problem is his high wage demands and the Gills would struggle to pay them, as would most teams in the lower leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Lamberts Disciple 0 Posted January 28, 2010 But why does he have such high wage demands, Wizard?Is he still dining out on that golden boot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Well maybe he should wake up and smell the music, he needs to take a wage cut if he wants to play anymore 1st team football. Clearly Lambert doesnt want him Gillingham manager has already spoken about the want to sign him, he has also mentioned his wages also.I think its in Curo''s hands now!!!Just want him to go.....

morty 0 Posted January 28, 2010 I also think turning up to training in a Bentley is really sticking two fingers up at the club.I don''t blame Jamie for taking our money for no end product, we all would in similar circumstances, but it doesn''t mean I like it.

King Klose 0 Posted January 28, 2010 He''s gonna take a cut in wages wherever he goes because he''s getting old and is not good anymore, so Wizard, saying Gillingham won''t afford his 5k/8k or whatever he''s on a week is rubbish he will quite obviously take a cut.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted January 28, 2010 Why would he take a cut? He can quite happily and deservedly stay at Norwich until the end of his contract and then move in the summer if he so desires. I suspect Jaime is strongly considering retirement this coming summer so why uproot yourself from your family and home to go live in a hotel in Kent for 6 months?For him to move it will have to be a loan deal will Norwich and the other club spliting his wages. I also suspect Jaime will only be up for this if he is considering playing for another season after this one.He was given a silly contract by Grant/Doncaster and it isn''t up to him to "do the right thing" and put himself and his family out just to please Norwich. At the end of every players career they have to start thinking about what is best for them. Imagine going from earning around a million pounds a year to nothing over night at the age of 35; the mistake was made years ago and it isn''t up to JC to fix it.

As long as he is willing to sacrifice any respect that we have for him then he is more than welcome to stay here and take the money.[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
