norfolkngood 1,086 Posted January 27, 2014 I was listening to talksport this morning they had a agent on he made a very good point about players not wanting to sign for teams low in the league due to relegation clauses basically saying if they sign in jan window in six months time their wages can drop 50 % he said due to half the season gone players feel if they did drop down a league they wont risk the wage drop due to other players non performing in the first half of season so many will prefer a loan move to clubs is this the reson why we are finding it hard to sign players ( non loans ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted January 27, 2014 I agree that this could be a real concern. This may also explain why there are loans in plenty.There is also the concern of the "buying" club, that they wouldn''t want to part with good money, knowing that if the worst happens and they are relegated they could lose some capital if they have to sell cheaply.This all seems a prescription for nothing to happen, except yet again an advantage to the big (money) boys.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 27, 2014 Well that puts us in the same boat as most premiership clubs then. I think we''ll sneak a loan in before the end of the window, not a great player, but another body to cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanaryOne 0 Posted January 27, 2014 I would have bid for the ex Binner Wickham , available for around £4million and looks to be off to Forest , been banging them in for Sheff Weds on loan and is still young enough to develop into the player Sunderland thought they were paying £10 million for .

norfolkchance1 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Agree with sentiment about Wickham, would do Ok. Looked good for Sheffield W and is still pretty young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted January 27, 2014 You mean the same Connor Wickham who''s just been recalled from loan by Sunderland?Not sure they''d recall him if they were just going to sell him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
