bluepeter 5,627 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Where are people getting this "the money will go to the bank, it won't be used for Boyd's new contract" from? We've agreed terms with the bank which do not include having to sell a player. If we are going to increase spending (e.g. increasing Boyd's wage) we will have to find that money from somewhere, no further borrowing will be allowed. So, if we are to offer Boyd a new deal, we have to either reduce the wage bill or bring money in from transfer of a player. This does both, if it goes through. Do the people who think this think Boyd will not be offered a new contract on improved terms? If he is, then some of the money from any transfer will be used towards it. That's not debatable, we will have brought money in, some will go to the bank and some money will be used to improve Boyd's terms. If that's not the case, where does the money for Boyd's new wage come from? Of course, if you believe we won't offer Boyd a contract, that's a different matter.

Otis 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If we sell Mendes for as little as £1.3million then we're not as secure as we've been led to believe.

Craigy 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I can't believe that so many people have a meh attitude towards this. Huge, huge blow if we lose him and another one of our "key" players. Can't believe we're willing to sell one of our best players for such a low price in the middle of the season. We already have such a thin squad yet we're willing to let a key player leave, with no likely replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank you for his contribution last season. Exactly, and in all honesty I think this had been agreed a while back and Mendes's injury wasn't as serious as people were led to believe, something I mentioned about a month or so ago... One contribution I will never forget is the goal against the scum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If anybody thinks we are willing to sell a player on high wages to put Kris Boyd on high wages, then sorry you are going to be severely disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? Boyd might not be on the 25 or 30k a week that Mendes is on but surely we can up the 12k he is on enough to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninblue 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 To be honest i would take that amount of money for mendes He hasn't really played well since the 4-2 win at parkhead but thats just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Privateeye2910 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Would rather hold on to him. If he goes and we get back into the Champions League we will have to buy a replacement down the line and I don't see one of his quality coming to us for a decent price.

mmrfc1873 48 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Before he got injured he was shit LMAO, right now were doing fine without him, so why hold on to him and waste 20k a week especially with him injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelgaBear 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'd take the money. Mendes has been brilliant in flashes but is far too inconsistent. He won't win us the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
