This weeks admin Friday You won't go bust but you will rue the day signing players (and over paying them) who were only good enough to ensure a 4th place spot in this league last season. Clark and Aird specifically. Hoovering up perceived best players from opposition in the league and paying them loads more may work as a strategy but is pretty risky.

Le bump. Come on buddy, chop chop. My flight board's shortly but I'll be home by about 7 CET. I expect an answer to be awaiting my return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Le bump. Come on buddy, chop chop. My flight board's shortly but I'll be home by about 7 CET. I expect an answer to be awaiting my return. Clark on £7842/month and Aird £6547/month with mobile phone contract paid (with international dialling and roaming).Well if I was their agent that's what I would have aimed for. If they're on more than that I'd say well played.Sent from my SM-G930F using Pie and Bovril mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're set up to live within our means. How much they're paid who knows. Hope you got your flight, I'm not long off mine. Are you an Agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The Pars seem very angry on here over multiple threads, particularly amongst each other. Hope they find some peace soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight was fine, cheers. Nice to be home. It's an assumption and speculation, typical close season stuff. If we're offering them a wage and they're leaving the club to go to United it's fairly safe to assume your club will be paying more. Isn't that what Agents do this time of year?, get their respective clients more lucrative deals. Are you of the opinion that Dundee United will not be offering more than the Pars to Clark, Morris and Aird? McManus going to Ross County, isn't there a good chance they're paying more than we offered? I'd go as far as to say United and Ross County will spend more than the other clubs because they'll have the means to do so. Nothing wrong with that if that's their respective strategies for the oncoming season. In reality what we're all seeing is the same players doing the rounds between clubs.

United probably do pay more than Dunfermline. Bigger club, more fans, higher revenues, higher expectations. I was merely querying your incessant rambling about United overpaying as if we would need to to sign free agents previously at Dunfermline. It might make you feel better but really there's a perfectly straightforward explanation for these guys coming to United which doesn't require the sort of fevered nonsense which Pars fans are ejaculating.
