Wolves 2-1 Tottenham: Verdict Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

No

I guess Fabio's transfer fee makes no difference to how you feel about him either then.

I guess Fabio's transfer fee makes no difference to how you feel about him either then.

The maths are hugely different as I'm sure you know.

Sarabia is a very good player and he has shown it in flashes, including yesterday. Contrast the last two sub appearances for each player.

Fabio isn't and never will be any good.

 

[Alan]

So you don't think him earning £150k a week adds to the frustration about how he's performed prior to yesterday?

I would probably argue that GO needs to take some responsibility for not quite knowing what to do with him. Julen, too.

He's not a perfect fit for the Premier League, I think we can all see that.

 

[Wolvensam]

Yep, plus him being the highest played Wolves player ever.

Is he? I’d be surprised if Jimenez wasn’t near those heights when he was here. Neves too

Joao and Raul were on 100k a week, Neves on 80k.

Pablo is on 150k.

 

[Paul]

How does anyone find out a players wages? (unless it's made public) on the accounts it's a lump sum

 

[Paul]

Joao and Raul were on 100k a week, Neves on 80k.

Pablo is on 150k.

So that extra 50k equates to 2.5mil transfer fee we didn't pay per year?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So that extra 50k equates to 2.5mil transfer fee we didn't pay per year?

"Extra" 50k?

He signed a 2.5 year contract, so that's just under 20mill in wages, plus the 5million transfer fee.

It’s a bit of a silly argument.

He has to be paid something.

If you give him £100k a week, it’s £15m.

Totally swings and roundabouts. And pretty irrelevant really.

And with that, no one will never mention the Fabio fee ever again.

Pretty sure I will.

At least once.

 

[Paul]

So in essence we brought him for £25mill and we don't pay him a wage for 2.5 years !

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

The initial point was, he hasn't performed, especially given he's on 150k a week - that was all.

Similarly Fabio cost 35mill and he hasn't performed.

Neither are controversial statements unless you're spoiling for an argument.

 

[pagey]

Where's this £150k a week come from, everything I can find states 90k?

 

[Tony Towner]

Of course it's relevant (if it is 150k pw). It increases the expectation irrespective of the financial gymnastics. Same money to the club, but the focus is higher with the salary than if we'd paid £10m more and paid him £75k per week. It becomes a talking point, which it wouldn't the other way round

This is The Wolves Forum, some people will start an argument with their own reflection.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Where's this £150k a week come from, everything I can find states 90k?

From someone within the club.

 

[Squeak]

From someone within the club.

I have a hard time believing we are paying him £150K a week when we only paid €5 million for him.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I have a hard time believing we are paying him £150K a week when we only paid €5 million for him.

Well that's your perogative.

 

[Tony Towner]

I have a hard time believing we are paying him £150K a week when we only paid €5 million for him.

You don't see the potential correlation between the two?
