villabromsgrove Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think a lot of the players that we want out are on high wages. This will only put other clubs off from making an offer because of their wage demands. Now I know it isn't official but we suspect that some players, who sit on the bench are on £40k maybe more in some cases. I think the Milner money is essential to any summer spending. We can't rely on selling those bench players.I take your point Reality, but Randy's point to Mon is that wages are already too high. Randy isn't short of 25 million and he could easily have given that to Mon but he hasn't. It's not cash that he wants, it's a sensible, manageable wage bill.

Reality Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I agree with you. It is a shame that things have even turned out this way. We shouldn't have to worry about this shit. A bit of common sense is all you need with wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbygabbygabbygabbygabby Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 MON has certainly made a few mistakes with wages. I read somewhere that Heskey is our highest paid player! While that is probably wide of the mark he will still be on a lot of money, if we manage to sell Beye, Sidwell, Heskey and get them off the wage bill then I think Randy will supply the transfer funds to replace them with players who will actually earn what they are being paid. So no huge changes to the wages but a big step up in squad quality. I know it will be difficult to sell average players on big wages but I'm hopeful, let's make up a brochure for each of them ala Owen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Apart from Beye, Heskey & Sidwell you could easily add NRC, L.Young, Shorey & Davies who all seem to have had a fall out with MON and so stand no chance of a regular place in the starting eleven. Osborne and Salifou would not be missed and we have already moved on Harewood and Bouma. Eleven players who if average £30,000 a week equal a cool £17 million a year in wages. NRC, Luke Young & Davies could probably still do a job for us but the rest have been a complete waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabbygabbygabbygabbygabby Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Apart from Beye, Heskey & Sidwell you could easily add NRC, L.Young, Shorey & Davies I forgot about Shorey. NRC, Young and Davies can still do a job for us and I would prefer if none were sold. Beye, Heskey, Sidwell and Shorey are not good enough for us and are taking too much wages, we improve on those 4 and we have a quality squad! For me, Keane, Richards and Ireland but as has been documented they will also will want big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stezz Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Taken from ESPN: Liverpool have agreed a fee of £2.5 million with Aston Villa for defender Luke Young. The former England international is mulling over the move ahead of Villa's pre-season trip to Portugal. Young, who has been deployed as a left-back for Villa, would seemingly fulfill a similar role at Anfield as Glen Johnson is currently first-choice on the other side of defence with academy graduates Martin Kelly and Stephen Darby able to provide adequate back-up. Villa boss Martin O'Neill told the club's official site: ''There has been an offer from a football club which Luke is mulling over and, if it doesn't materialise, then he would join us (in Portugal for the Guadiana Cup) because he needs to play some football soon. We will see how that develops.'' I am seriously getting worried now, 11 days to the start of the season and no signs of any good strong creative mid fielders coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LY turned down L'pool because he didn't want to move his family further north, although the real reason was probably that L'pool were offering £10,000 per week less salary.
