I'm over the moon with Darnell Fisher like! Don't think there's been THAT many right backs.. he's been like the Nathan Ake of the past 2 or 3 seasons.I love the kid, his enthusiasm, his player swap lists and especially his famed spreadsheets.
But, for the sake of balance. If you post 500 players a season you think we might sign, the odd one is bound t come off!
Ok lets take Gayle, 50k a week and has made 6 appearances for newcastle this season, all as a sub, scoring onceGayle / Benteke /Gray.... Pipe dreams and not sure why they always come up. They are on 50-100k a week.
The fact they move for free means the can command bigger wages as the signing club doesn't pay a transfer fee. So in the current climate they may take a hit. Yet still out of our league to think we are moving Britt on who's on 30-35k.
To be honest any player coming from the prem who cost his club 4-5mil+ is gonna be on over 25k a week. I read Grosicki is on 40k and he's 32.....christ
I imagine we will be looking to pay 10-15k a week at best. No point moving Britt and Fletcher on just to blow the saving on Gayle etc.
That said plenty of decent champo players going for free. I'm imagine we still pay better than half of the champo (although apparently blown out of the water wage wise for Moore and Williams).
The wages these prem players are on are frankly obscene. The majority are squad players at best.
I think regardless of our targets, our scouting strategy seems to have moved on from Woodgate who was looking for bargains in the lower leagues to make the step up (which to be fair, Dijksteel and Bola have done).
Judging from acquisitions this season it seems that Warnock favours Championship experience, loans from PL (an underused market by Boro imo) and casting the net into Europe again (although would expect that to tail off going forward given issues with work permits).
He also seems to favour players he trusts and has worked with before, although given his managerial experience that includes most players in the football league.
