MrBlack Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, Demitri_C said: Thats desperation. No matter what their owners say its essential for them to go at 1st attempt This is so true. That signing confirms it. They can't throw that money at a player and find themselves stuck in the third tier at the end of this season. Yeah, he's decent at that level, but he's not going to be any good for them in the Championship, and he's not affordable at that salary in league one when he starts declining. They've gone all or nothing. Can't blame them really, we kind of did similar with some of our championship signings to get us promoted. And we were very close to it not working in hindsight. It's a dangerous game to be playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dangerous game to be playing. I agree. It does seem very "tony xia" to me. They have gambled on a manager with no experience as a manager. Could work, could not. They would have been better off going for a experienced head like neil as im sure he would have got them up at first attempt As for may no other club if they go up is going to pay 16k in league one for a 32 year old as thats how old he will be. They are going to be stuck with a potential shit player for years at championship level if they go up. It seems very mccormacky to me Edited July 4 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 So they sign a striker who went there for the wages and not because they're a "proper" club. Lets see the inbreds make some sense of that. If they have to overpay to get players in then that's doesn't bode well for the future. Signing 30+ year olds with no resale value is even worse, it's not like there's a huge revenue increase from getting back to the championship. They'll end up with a huge squad of over the hill players they can't shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Relocation fee £500k It's 140 miles from Charlton. Over £3.5k per mile. Good job he wasn't signed from Brisbane FC! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 The comments about xia are right It's not so much that they're paying him £20k a week it's that they've bought a guy who they think will get them the goals to get them out of league 1...and at 31 years old he's never played at a level above league 1 If he was some young player that they'd spent money on to get him off a PL bench and potentially go on the journey with them then fair enough but not this, this is stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
