From Despair To Where? windermereROYAL Happy with this, the 12th signing, with hopefully Carroll coming up next how can we afford them all and stay within the restrictions?
It simple really. Of the 12 signings, how many are we paying more than £8k a week? I reckon the bulk of them are on less than £5k a week and we're only paying maybe 10% of Hendrick and Rahman's wages.
Very much this - a lot of the players on our books have earnt their money - Ince we know was on nearly 30k pw, I think Hoilett back in his QPR days was on silly money - 45k pw was reported a few times. From a quick look around the net, Hoilett is reportedly taking home about 4k pw with us.
Hutchinson was on 5.5k at Sheff Weds, so can't see him being on more than that here.
Mbengue was allegedly only on €800 pw at Metz, so could easily be paying him around the 1k mark. NGW was earning less than 1k pw at Wimbledon, so likely on similar or only slightly more now in order to prove himself at this level.
We seem to have been very clever - to get a player who made 12 apps, with 5 starts, in Ligue 1 last season and is 20 for a low wage and no fee is an excellent bit of business. Sure I read we have the option to extend his deal, which I'm sure they will take if he continues to show his worth.
Don't think he has his visa through yet, so he may make the bench on Saturday else be available for Huddersfield. There are 11 games in 43 days after the break, he could well be a massive addition in terms of rotation.
