In the post Peter Risdale world I'm not sure such a club is out there. I was only snatching figures out of the air as an example. Is he actually on £50k with us? Probably not, maybe he will take £15k elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would think the way he celebrates he has added 10 goals and 10 assists This is a really weird opinion. We should be happy that even squad players feel included enough to enjoy the team's success. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Fair play to Lansbury, earning £50k / week for being a very bit-part player in our team. However, at least he's not disruptive. It's a shitter that he takes up a decent portion of the wage budget, bit it's not his fault that the club was so badly run when we signed him as to offer a crazy contract for a Championship player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, blame the fat bloke who had to beg borrow and steal to put a side out who spent £5m on him and gave him 40k a week in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont understand it thats find but not wierd in the slightest Its a really weird opinion, it shows a great team spirit among the squad. I am sure Lansbury would be happy to play his part if he was offered but he has never been selected and has never once been accused of being a bad apple. If Lansbury came out sulking at Smith for not playing him even though he is shit then people be having a go at him as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2020 To be honest if earns £10,000 or £50,000, he's been a big disappointment. I was so excited when we signed him and Hourihane, they really looked like the pair who would reinvigorate our midfield but at no point at all has he really done it for us. I just feel players like him and Hogan should have been jumping at the bit to join a club like Aston Villa and as long as we offered a bit more than the competition should be easily attainable without the need to throw ridiculous wages at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansbury was in the last 6 months of his Forest deal so we would have had offer him a big wage as he had a good season and would have had options. I wasnt a fan but I see why we had to pay big wages for him. Hogan was a 12 million signing or whatever so you also have to pay the big money when you splash that cash All in all a double victory for Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were like a donut out there, nothing in the middle. Hourihane was the best midfielder in the league for a while and getting him for like 3m was amazing business. Lansbury not so much. Bjarnasson uh the less said about him the better lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
