Currently on £100,000 a week, will seek £1.5m-a-year. £100k for a reserve. Madness. Would be a good signing for us though IMO, experienced at this level.

tajjuk Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 You're partly right, but is that what WBA, Norwich, Swansea have done? Liam Ridgewell is on £25k a week, it was reported after that toilet photo incident. He's a pretty average player and I'd rather have Benayoun than him. Think £30-40k is the going average for most premiership players these days, I imagine the likes of Michu will be on this amount. Blame the agents.

It's pretty clear Butland is another one for the future but there is no point creaming our load over him before he has had a chance to actually play and develop his skills (especially when Birmingham's financial position is getting worse and worse so we wont have to pay over the odds soon enough for a keeper that currently is no better than anyone we have).

pap Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 On the whole Mboyo thing. The man's past is well-known. When he was 16, he was convicted for his involvement in a gang rape. I'm certainly not condoning it, but when he was selected for Belgium, the national coach said it was a case of "do we write someone off forever?"

Perhaps not but reading about his sentence, he served less than 3 years and most of that was in an open institute where he was allowed to train and play games as part of some young offender football scheme. The punishment hardly seemed to fit the crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punishment hardly seemed to fit the crime. I've got real mixed feelings about it. I did not know about the sentencing (which I agree was very light). It's a very serious crime. I do think offenders should have the chance of rehabilitation. Continuing to play footy was probably his best chance of rehabilitation.

Doctoroncall Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 Lawrenson says what some of us feel - we need a keeper this window http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20805220 Not the only one: "... there will be a niggling fear for the Southampton manager, Nigel Adkins, in his inability to find stability in goal. After Kelvin Davis's latest uncomfortable display, in the 3-3 draw with Stoke at the weekend, Artur Boruc returned to the starting line-up for the first time since October, and immediately fumbled the ball on two occasions early in the match. Adkins has assembled a team with several impressive attacking options but they will be threatened by relegation as long as Boruc, Davis and the talented by error-prone 21-year-old Paulo Gazzaniga bring uncertainty to the defence. A new keeper should be a priority in January, whatever the price." Mike Adamson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
