Not sure, he's on around £250k a week, this is the question that some people have been asking about pushing the boat out.
I don't see it happening for someone who's 28 at the end of the year.
I'd rather we do it for an Olise or an Eze.
Olise would probably have better suitors namely Liverpool
I only say Raphinia because we've been linked with him.
I think we should get Eze anyway and a deal we can do.
ENIC won’t be building that hotel until they have a financing partner. They won’t be paying for its build with money from their own pockets. Remember that investment that was talked about when the accounts came out. That’s what the investment will be for, not the team.
Richard Arlison would you be happy if we signed Raphinia?
He’s not a player that excites me tbh.
If we are saying that 250k pw wages are the jump this club might need to take to attract an elite level option, I’d PERSONALLY find it underwhelming if it was for Raphinha.
I could be wrong (not like I haven’t been before) and he transforms us. I’d be genuinely excited if we did that for Xavi Simons (plays a different role/position really) or maybe even Olise (his injuries worry me though). Tbh there are a lot of players that would excite me personally more than Raphinha.
The paradox is we constantly lag behind on players salaries meaning we're never in the conversation when it comes to proper top drawer signings, despite our massive wealth......
But we consistently top the charts when it comes to CEO salaries. With our own CEO being the Mbappe equivalent of the boardroom.
It really is quite disgusting when you think about it.
That’s because our CEO isn’t measured against the success of the football team
Make his bonus depend on things we’ve won and watch it change
Perhaps the profits from all the external structure eh karting, hotels etc will provide financing for team improvement, in order to compete with the Chelsea’s and Man Citys. With FFP being more enforced our income would enable better transfers in whereas the ‘ pocket money’ clubs would have to be very careful with what they spend.
You forgot Court costs to avoid jail time
It's a rock and a hard place isn't it, attracting top players when, the club won't pay the big buck's and, wins fuck all into the bargain.
We tend to attract those who, want to take the leap to a top six premier league club, then do well enough to get, hopefully a move to a club that is in contention for the medals.
If levy was paid on sporting performance related salary, then the cunt would be needing some overdraft on his account and a understanding bank manager.
I don't think that's the idea here.
He’s living in a dream world . Those hotel beds aren’t going to change themselves
Meh,
What would you be saying if we signed havertz and paid him 280000 a week?
Ramsdale on 120000 a week?
If we had a backup player like reiss Nelson on 100000 a week?
If we had Martial and Mount on 250000k a week?
Cassimero and Varane on 350000k a week after the seasons they have just had?
Why would wanting us to target top players that demand top wages = signing shit and overpaying bench scrubs?
Are you saying that top wages guarantees we end up with rubbish like Ramsdale on 120k or old donkeys like Casemiro and Varane on 350k?
I know what I'd like is to see us compete for Nico Williams on 300kpw or Xavi Simons on 250k...
Posters comparing our wage bill to other teams without drilling down into what their huge numbers are actually getting them creates a false reality.
We should be playing players competitive wages but my point is comparing ours to other teams is not relevant once you get into the weeds of what they are actually paying for.
Fair
but it doesn't change the fact that the time has come for this club to step outside it's wage bill comfort zone to attract better players if they ask for better wages.
Agree.
190000 on son
170000 on maddison
165000 on romero and werner
Shows we are willing to push the boat out to some extent.
Hopefully we are comfortable with paying those numbers and more on a couple more top quality signings.
We need to be willing to touch the 250,000 range to get the high level talent that also has the type of consistency and discipline we need.
Make no mistakes, teams will start offering the likes of Romero, VDV, and Udogie that kind of money soon. Sarr won't be far behind either.
