I think with the players we have already signed that's not the case |
I would have thought that it would depend on who we are in competition with |  | |  |

Why wasn't he selected for the Dutch WC squad then? Blind and Ron Vlaar were the competition.Blind yeah but before the tournament Vlaar was considered a bit of a clumper.He did have 2 good games though especially the Argentina game.The way we're talking this Dutch lad up makes it surprising he wasn't in the squad. |  | | |

This pre-season I just don't understand why a lot of people on here are saying we can't afford a transfer fee of over £5m and the fact that we don't have any money !
All the players we have released freeing up wages and the small amount we have spent in transfers should mean we have a bit in the kitty for transfers |  | | |

We should easily have 20M in transfer fee's after all the business in and out. |  |

Lita's wages alone would be a hefty sum towards the transfer kitty  | | | |

If £3.5m for Chico was such a steal you'd think any half decent club in Europe would offer more for this "proven" Premier League defender.
Oh wait they're not. Off to Qatar he goes then. About his level. |  |

I'm hoping this is a done deal, just waiting for Chico to sign up in Qatar and then this one can go though. If we haven't got a replacement lined up immediately then someone wants shooting.
As I said though, Chico to Qatar was a done deal weeks back, they have more than likely (hopefully!) been working on this one in the background.
Big result for Celtic tonight changes everything though I would assume. |  | | |

He should have been selected for the World Cup squad based on his performances and many were disappointed he was left out but Blind wasn't his competition, he plays in a different position. | |

They played a funny defensive line, didn't they? Was Blind more of a Right Back amongst 3 central defenders or did they play 4 and Blind an out and out RB? | | | |

A 1.5 million profit shocking? |
That's not the point. The guy did very well for us in the PL and is only twenty seven and if rumours are to be believed we're going to be paying 6-8 million for an untried CB who hasn't play PL before. A profit of only 1.5 million makes me feel like we've been mugged |  |

reports earlier suggested that £3.5m was turned down and we were holding out for £5m. Suspect that the agreed fee is somewhere inbetween given that he's been allowed to talk. £4m-£5m for Chico isn't bad I don't think. | | | |

nobody knows why he's leaving so it's pointless to assume the club were merely trying to cash in. personally i couldn't see any club willing to stump up 6-8M for a player who was a solid player, but best known around the league for being something of a clown.
will be easier to assess this piece of business when we find out if a new CB is coming in. |  | | |

£5 million wouldn't be too bad. But if we've got to pay higher for an untried centre half then it's still a bad deal | |

Nels, did you see him play in the flesh? I did on over 40- 50 occasions and whilst his play acting was dreadful he was one cultured MF defender. Our attacking play won't be the same without him either. He did make mistakes but was scapegoated on here when others (including Vorm, Ben, Ash, Rangel) got away without criticism for their errors. | |

I cant see us splashing £8m on a center back. Saints are in the driving seat and have so much more financial clout than us. |
Only if the gold diggers there want to pay, and it all looks like they have pocketed most of it as a part of their asset stripping. |  |

None of us know where we stand re current pay levels. Gomis is going to be on a huge salary.
I cannot back this up, but got talking to a fella in Skewen park who reckoned Gomis got a 3 million signing on and 75,000 a week. he named his source, but I won't.
But we cannot be sure just what % of income goes on wages right now. The board do know though, whatever deals still get done will be with that in mind. | |

I overheard from a supposed ITK fan at a pre season game that Gomis is on 85k a week and we haven't paid all the money we owe to vitesse and we have to sell bony as were having cash flow problems. Haven't posted it before because I've only just finished p*ssing myself | | | |

Is it April Fools Day?
£85k for a 29 year old who just been given a 4 year contract?
Cash Flow problems ?
I hope you laughed in his face | | | |

That salary number sounds right to me.
Gomis was clearly auctioning himself and last I heard Newcastle were bidding £79k/week.
As for Bony, somebody has undoubtedly been shopping him around over the past month, and maybe it is not just his agent if Huw has blown his wodge on Gomis. |  |
