Who the **** agreed that contract in the 1st place. Nobody. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for an explanation of why my comment was so silly. Quite a few people have liked your post so I really would like to know. I'm being deadly serious here, no sarcasm at all.

I'm just questioning, based on something I've read in numerous papers (and heard on a few radio stations), whether Hollis coming in will mean that we won't see Traore if it means activating a contract clause. If the clause doesn't exist then fair enough but, unlike some on here, I don't have access to player contracts (or a copy of Football Manager) so can't give definitive answers on these things. Just a bit of harmless speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very confident thia clause is absolute nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit of harmless speculation. Fair enough mate. In my opinion as fans we should never give a shit what a player earns. it's irrelevant to us mere mortals. If westood is on £5 a week but Gabby is on 100k a week what difference is this going to make to our lives? They will both play for the club. So **** it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just a bit disappointed that we don't just throw someone like Traore in at the deep end and see what he can do. If he's a success we can always sell him for a bit of a profit. . Can't be any worse than what is out there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Jersey_Villa Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I can't believe there wasn't some money to at least pay the wages for a couple of loan players, this past window???? There must be a truckload of fringe players around Europe who need first team football to have a shot at going to the Euro's, who would have gladly joined us just so they can play.

That wasn't the problem this time around. There might not have been much of it, but given our pursuit of Kalinic and a couple of others there was certainly some money available. The failure this window was not having any backup options to come in if our first choices failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
