Monkeypuzzle Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 On 27/07/2023 at 09:54, lapal_fan said: Habib Beye was on £4,000,050 a week in 2008. A famous MoN contract. He only played about 12 times for us as a 32 year old signing! People have got to stop getting their knickers in twist over us having 2 extremely good players for 1 position. Moreno won't be on more than £50-60k you'd think (3.5m a season according to a Google search), so really we've got good coverage for £150-200k for that position. Injuries and fatigue will play a part this year and we need the depth. I find it pretty ironic that the people who moan about having Digne on high wages are also the same people moaning about Olsen being back up for Emi M.. WHAT THE **** DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT? You get what you pay for. Leave the finances to the pro's, not people who might work in finance and think they know how all this shit works. £4million per week? I don't believe you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 If he does in fact go, I wonder if we could see a quality prospect of a full back who can operate on either side come in? It will be awkward for our fullbacks due to system changes. Possibly only one will be utilised in starting lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only country that can get anywhere near to his wages tbf he will prob have to take a 50% stake in all Saudi oil sales, to even come close to his salary here. Maybe he will settle for a 55-60% stake in all Saudi Oil exports, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Really doubt this is likely. Moreno is out for a while. Torres was ok but not great at left back. No links to left backs that I’m aware of to replace him. Just can’t see it happening. Which I’m pleased about because I rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Fine to keep for another year really, he's a good competitive option, he will get games even when Moreno's fit, maybe not loads, but I'd be in no rush to sell unless he really wants out.

useless Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I think Digne has probably been for sale all summer and club have been working on other left-backs just in case another teamcomes in for him, so if he does leave I don't think we will be caught short, infact will probably be part of the ideal scenario, I think it was Collomose who said he was available, probably right. Doesn't mean the club doesn't rate him, in some cases it just makes sense to bring in a different option if possible, similar to when we sold Ings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2023 i like him. i want him to stay. but if big money got offered and it gets one of our highest earners off the wage bill (who won't start once moreno is back) then we do it IMO. maybe we can stall them a few weeks till moreno is fit and we get a replacement maybe this is why pau was tried at LB in the last friendly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily want rid but at the same time wouldn't be too bothered if we sold him. He's essentially cover/rotation and quite expensive cover at that. I have a hunch Pau is going to start there while Moreno is out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
