peasepud 59 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Last window they put all of the players up for sale with a few days to go of the window. At least that hasn't happened this time, no, hes put them all up* with three weeks left, plenty time to get the auctions going methinks. *according to a reliable source, there are no untouchable players at this club. Now then, what odds was relegation again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Judging by the weekends pre and post match interviews Kinnear seems to have been gagged. So you might just be right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3997 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 If I was Hughes I'd wait till the last day and then slap a cheeky £3m in for Given and maybe a couple for Owen - it'll be like Woolies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Aye every player has his price but I do not think its as clear cut as Ashley will let anyone go for peanuts. He got 7 for Parker, 7 for Dyer, 12 for Milner, 2.9 for Rozenhal etc. The one thing he has not been is a mug when selling players. Aye like everyone else I have huge question marks over if the money would actually be reinvested and I realise how fucked we would be if he didn't, however give or take 5 maybe 6 players if you are lucky in our squad I couldn't care less if the others went. Players like Duff on 70k, Butt on 40k, Geremi on 45k Viduka..... etc etc even Barton although he is one of our better players is a joke at 60k. We have very average players (arguably one of the worst midfields in the league) on top team money. Again though as I said the real proof will be if any money or players brought in (as the like of Bassong has shown you do not alwyas have to have the big name players) and how they perform.

Park Life 71 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd like to get Geremi, Smith and Viduka off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd like to get Geremi, Smith and Viduka off the wage bill. Sounds like Viduka is going no where till the end of the season and then he is back off to Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Viduka is going no where till the end of the season and then he is back off to Oz. Wasn't aware he came back. These three are costing the club around a million a month in wages and rarely play or deliver much. Best three to get shot of imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadrian 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 apart from a select few, id sell anyone at the club aswell for the right price . id have had a great scouting network on the go and replacements brought in before id let anyone leave first tho , and i damn sure wouldnt be doing it at any other time apart from the second the summer window opens .

The thing is there's very few in our squad that we couldn't get better (at least a 90's Keegan or an early-2000's Robson NUFC couldn't), but our squad is very, very, very thin..... and frankly completely see-through in places. It's like Milner, £12m was a great/stupid price for him, but as things stand that £12m has benefited the club not one bit (even ignoring the fact that it seems to have just disappeared). We'd have been better off (as a football club, maybe not a champagne fund) keeping Milner and playing him, for £12m or £25m (if we never spend it or replace him).
