Then how much is Bates really worth? With it being a free transfer, we won't even have a buy back, or sell on percentage. https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=72597 https://www.transfermarkt.com/david-bates/profil/spieler/272539 No regrets at all here.

ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I watched their game against Darmstadt on Friday, he made a complete arse of something in first half and they were lucky not to concede from that. Ten times more confident in our defence now than when he was in it. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s by overall contribution, he deserved more than he got. He’ll have seen Alves on £30k+ and Cardoso also on significantly more than him offering precisely fuck all in return in the same position. And that’s without touching on the likes of Herrera or Pena. I wouldn’t have offered him £10k, but I’d imagine he’d have stayed for £7k-ish a week. We offered him peanuts by all accounts. He’d be a decent back up, but I’d put Goldson, Katic and Worral ahead of him. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no idea what the problem is with him by a few on here but he never did us a wrong turn so it’s rather baffling ?♂️ Hope he goes on to be a success and the bitters in here are seething Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he was much improved but peoples minds were made up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserved more and was a decent player for us. He seen shite play in for.my of him on huge money so aye he'd be annoyed. But imho he's another who played through circumstance and isn't worth what Hamburg paid for him Hamburg also paid him.a bigger wage as he was a free agent. If they'd bought him his wage would have been down from.what he's on now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to be a first team player... I don't think Worrall is worth anywhere near £8m. Bougherra cost us £3m and out of those three, I know who I'd rather have in our team.
