StanBalaban Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 we shouldnt pay any of their wages, ive never understood why clubs cave in and accept to pay players wages after theyve gone if the buying club cant afford the wages, tough Simply because it increases the likelihood of them going in light of very little interest from people wanting to take 100% of their wages on. A 75% reduction in the wage bill of Ireland and Given is better than them being stuck here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I can understand if its 50%. At least we free up 50% to give Lambert a bit of room for new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thomas ince spent most of last season playing in the hole and occassionally on the wing he is no threat to Delph's position in the squad. Would fit in well here I think, but I haven't seen him play so I can't comment on whether he would be any good for us. He scored a lot of goals from AM last season though. Haven't seen him play that much but always thought he generally played in the same position as Delph. However playing in those roles you suggest he does fit the profile and position we need.

Marley the Bognor Villan Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 If Newcastle really want Bent they could well be pressured into making a bid sooner than planned due to the benteke business as they could be thinking we may need to keep him so they'd want to get the deal done before benteke goes anywhere. Could work in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could work in our favour. true, and if bent leaves first, the price tag on Benteke will go up a bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 But why would we loan out Ireland and Given and pay the best part of 120k/week to do so? Wouldn't make sense. I would hope we get them off he books and are paying 25% of their wages max or it's pointless IMO. Because it's that or pay the 100%. There aren't clubs lining up to sign either player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepane Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The only problem I'd have with Ince is that he would eventually travel that well trodden path towards Liverpool. It's fairly well known they want him back, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 seen him say it in a few interviews now (including one during the U21s) he wants to go somewhere where he is 1st choice and going to play every week, not sure if thats here but its certainly not liverpool personally i dont think he's worth the money, seeing as we've signed tonev, norwich redmond and sunderland giaccherini id guess he's not actually that much in demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Doesn't matter if Lambert was interested, I very much doubt we could afford him. I assume the price is high which is why Norwich found better value in Redmond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the price is high which is why Norwich found better value in Redmond. The thing with signing Ince from Blackpool is they want some money from it, as it stands Liverpool get 45-50% of the transfer fee - hence him being valued at £8m... I don't think he's an £8m player and wouldn't want to give Plop free money either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the price is high which is why Norwich found better value in Redmond. I would actually go so far that redmond is much better than ince, but thats just my view. A player that can become special if he gets the right training and playtime imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player that can become special if he gets the right training and playtime imo If you are looking for a winger I would agree but if you are looking for someone to play central attacking midfield and score goals then Ince is by far the better prospect. 18 goals and 14 assists last season is pretty impressive to me.

John Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think Ince would be a good addition to our squad but I think £8m is too high a price for us to be able or should I say willing to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I see Vydra being more of a Weimann backup/rotation option, playing as a wide striker. If we were to play Vydra down the middle we may as well try Andi there first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I'd pay 3m tops for Ince With all due respect if we offered that we would get the same reaction that we're hopefully going to give to Spurs if they offer anything below 25m for Benteke.
