Luke Garbutt

[Rudolf Hucker]

Loans, with part payment of their wages is a probably a realistic option for a few of them.

It’s going to be a massive task. Didn’t we have 40 pros last season? Only 10 of them at best fit for purpose next season.

He wouldn't get that anywhere else.

Remember Henry saying he was talking to PSG and they offered 15k , this is the same PSG that throw money round like no tomorrow. We came in and offered 40k and loaned him out

Well it can seriously impact on the club’s ability to upgrade the squad.

If no EPL club wants Garbutt, then we’re going to have to subsidise a loan or pay him off. Who’s going to pay Mirallas £80k a week? Or Williams, McCarthy, Bolasie, Klaasen...

plenty of people in various threads claim that players will come here if we offer them big enough wages

This is just the other side of that

Pennington's on £65k a week with his new contract as well.

Wait, really? Source please. Ridiculous if true.

I’m aware of how it works.. and every club must get it wrong at some point.

We seem to be up there with the worst offenders. Especially when it comes to renewing contracts for lost causes.

The Maghull Maldini's career has gone off the rails a bit hasn't it.

Thankfully West Ham seem to be better at it than us.

that can't possibly be correct

Are they? Genuine question, because I don’t know who they’re struggling to get rid of.

Have they renewed anyone as worthless as Darron Gibson or Kevin Mirallas?

Absolutely no chance it being true.

I heard it was £80k.

Not convinced that any of these enormous salaries are anything like reality. It seems to be the "in thing" to make out that even fringe squad players are on king's ransom salaries making them millionaires. Allegations that someone in the know said that …etc is surely invented and very dubious. Luke would be vastly overpaid on £5,000 per week which is probably nearer the mark and on a par with League 2 players.

The Garbutt one is true. Cant see the DCL one being correct and the Pennington one is kust so.ebody having a laugh.

If the DCL one isn't true he should get himself a better agent. He's a genuine first team player for a PL club which is paying £100k a week to people who can't even get on the bench, if he's not earning at least £30k i'd be amazed.

 

[orly]

Not getting much value out of Garbutt's £400,000 a month contract here

Think he's comfortably earning more than 20k a week tbh. Martinez thought he was the reincarnation of Baines. Once he signed the deal, he turned out to be the English Allesandro Pistone instead.
