[Deutsch Wolf]

No way Bouba is on £55k a week just for a start

And Louie Moulden left nearly 6 months ago

 

[Sniffer]

Where’s that from. Some seem way out. A £20 odd million starting striker earns less than keeper number 3?

[Tony Towner]

It's an American website set up for their sports where apart from Baseball salary caps make what people earn transparent. When they've tried to translate that to football it's guesswork based on whatever is reported in a media outlet or in the case of Traore, mistaking him for Adama (probably). Some will be correct, some not.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It'll be true that Guedes, Doherty and Fabio are on absolutely disgusting money relative to their ability and work ethic.

 

[Alan]

Some of those seem totally ridiculous, but we are run in a totally ridiculous way, so…

 

[Kenny]

Poor Nath Fraser! Literally.

 

[lemonjelly]

Have definitely seen it reported elsewhere that bouba is on 55k a week.

 

[The Bear]

Have definitely seen it reported elsewhere that bouba is on 55k a week.

Seems suss. He played for Metz in the bottom half of Ligue 1 when we signed him. I doubt we'd have given him a massive pay rise to that extent, or that he was on more than £10-15k in the first place.

 

[Tony Towner]

Have definitely seen it reported elsewhere that bouba is on 55k a week.

I can say with as much certainty short of seeing his payslip that he isn't.

 

[Squeak]

I definitely chose the wrong time to be born.... Bentley on 20K per week FFS. And, I know a million quid isn't what it used to be but just look how many millionaires we have in our squad. No wonder most of them appear to not give a fuck. Multiply that by the other teams in the Prem and it shows how out of sync football is these days.

[Stan Hullis]

Oh good, another wide player.

 

[Trips]

Oh good, another wide player.

There was only 5 players on the bench Saturday who can play wide, you'll be moaning about lack of squad depth next!

 

[The Bear]

Must be cheap with big resale potential. Because we sure as shit don't need another wide player.

 

[Jinky]

Absolutely no way JSL, RAN & Tommy Doyle are on £10-15k per week.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Have definitely seen it reported elsewhere that bouba is on 55k a week.

Yes, let's believe this meticulous source that includes a player who left ages ago.

 

[Alan]

Yes, let's believe this meticulous source that includes a player who left ages ago.

Which, can we just say, is absolutely bonkers. He'd earned his chance, IMO.

 

[sycophantia]

I think we do need a wide player, it just needs to be a fit for purpose wide player.
