The Gentry (RIP)
I see he is going to MK Dons on loan from West ham and West Ham have agreed to pay £20k of his £21k pw wages - now why can't we get deals like that?
Would love to see him here to be honest.
Thought he was very mediocre when he played for Brum against us last year.
Ince used to play for West Ham...could be doing him a favour...?
But surely if he only costs us £1k oer week then he would be worth itI could never see what ability he had and how he rose to the highs he did. Over hyped and has actually achieved little apart from obviously lining his pockets.
"We wait for them to make 1st move, like we did with the Willo transfer".
Not true mattypne
PNE were in for him bid Sheff U paid him 15K per week - as simple as that!!
exactly.Yes but if we had got in their 4 weeks before they signed him, matched his wages from Watford he would have signed the dotted line. A mate of mine spoke to him at the marriott hotel n he seemed really keen to join permanently. I understand we cant compete with Sheff Utd when it comes down to wages but theirs ways round it so you do it fast before the big guns come in, not wait till theyve done the business.
exactly.
We even said, at the time, that watford knew we were interested, so we were waiting for them to contact us.
We paid only £3.3k of Andy Carroll's £26.7k a week fee.
