slower than hudd, and would be on 80k + imo. No thanks.
Agreed. Would much rather keep Scotty if that's the case.

IMO we are pretty close to two good players at each position already. One striker, one winger/wide forward, one fullback, and one CM and we look pretty damn good to me. Especially considering that players like Vertonghen, Bale, Dempsey, Siggy can all play multiple positions. I think we are only selling Ade and/or Defoe with direct replacements, I imagine AVB would walk if we started the season with literally one striker.
So the Express reckon we are in for Barry at 4 million lol....as a replacement for Parker!
Fucking hell.
Fucking hell.
Not as bad as people say, and that's a good price.So the Express reckon we are in for Barry at 4 million lol....as a replacement for Parker!
Wages are though perhaps an issue - we could make big savings replacing both Parker and Livermore with a random 20yo Portugese/German DM.
If Parker and Livermore are leaving we have to buy a defensive midfielder (with passing skills )
We spent the last summer bringing down the age of our squad, i don't see why this summer we'd bring it up again.
But it is a factor as we look at players as investments. Like it or not we are like porto and aim to bring in young players on modest wages and sell them at a profit. Then we reinvest that money in more young players. This both increases the strength of our squad while keeping us in the black.
In april, it was reported that he was on 120k a week with contract ending in summer of 2014 but was ready to take pay cut to 70k a week to remain at city. If these reports are true, City are just trying to save his wages and get him out.Wages will be a factor on how much of a bargain he is though. Any idea how much he's on at city?
