CVByrne Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 8 minutes ago, TRO said: It may be smart in one way......but some players might baulk at that in negotiations. I once put that ( incentivising output) to Ron Atkinson, at a shareholders meeting....He said " If you did that, they wouldn't sign for you" Players want as many guarantee's as they can get, and that is part of their consideration, when choosing a club.....Much depends on the clout, that the player has. Yet all these players still signed with Chelsea. I think it's because they are young and thus the lowish base salary is still a big pay increase for them. Then they get lots of additional pay the more they play and better the team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 What worries me is why have there been no real bids for Amrabat, given his relatively cheap price in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If it's confirmed Archer and Duran are to be kept around I think that pretty much signals we won't be adding any one else to the forward line - Ollie, Archer, JD, Bailey, Diaby and Traore it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Given we've had links (however tenuous) with Adams, Koopmeiners and now Amrabat, sounds like we're sounding out a specialist DM to replace The Donck™. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as in that case, I'm certain there will have been offers, which simply may not have come to fruition, or to the public, as the player may not have wanted it/them.

I'm OK with giving Archer and Duran a chance as they have ability. As I said before people are dreaming if they think we were going to drop 80 million on another striker. Backup GK and a RB and that's us done for incoming and I'm happy with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
