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. 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. We wont be increasing anybody terms at the club, Bain even took a wage cut and he took on more responsibility. Boyd, Novo, Broadfoot, DMB etc will get offered the same terms on view to a increase if we get buyer for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree mate, I think Boyd will have to be offered increased terms if we want to keep him. I don't think he'll be offered the £30k per week Mendes was on (obviously) but even if he was we'd still have taken £12k a week off the wage bill. Say we offer him £18k (not saying we will, just a figure off the top of my head) we will have used £6k per week of Mendes' £30k on his wage, pay the bank £1.3m or whatever, and we are saving £24k per week wages. I fully expect Boyd to be offered increased terms, I just hope they are good enough for him to accept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpRFC1 3 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 not happy about this if this goes through 1.3 million is a steal,we paid 3 million for this guy,this is exactly why we are in debt.pissing money away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 978 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Disappointingly low amount IMO, should be asking for £2.5 million at least. Sadly it does make business sense to get rid of a player who is most likely on 25k a week. If the money saved could be used to get Boyd a contract and maybe get in an attacking midfielder as cover for Davis, then i would be a happy man. Thats not gonna happen tho!

alan2306 0 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. "We don't have to sell anyone and will only sell a player if the right offers come in". The reason to sell Mendes was a financial descision not a footballing one. Our squad is already paper thin so It doesn't make sense to sell Mendes or anyone else at this stage of the season. What happens when we have players injured and suspended. We had players missing against Celtic and struggled badly. Had they been able to finish half the chances they created we would have been looking at a very heavy defeat.

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 opinionwhat about the DU game the last game of the season?or do we just forget about that game? well theres the next game that you thought he played well in which is quite bad for a midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Ness will have to come in. They said there would be a bigger emphasis on promoting from within, sadly that seems to mean flogging our best players at knock-down prices.

johanhentze 14,339 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hes certainly not the type of player we should be looking to sell Being able to survive without a player is not cause to sell him If he was in the Rangers team that has been playing well recently, with two wingers and Miller and Boyd up front, he would be fantastic, and worth alot more than 1.5m very quickly Also having a set up where if you get injured for any length of time, you are then a prime candidate for being sold, is not a way to run a football club I agree completely with this.. Just because we have been doing ok without him doesnt mean he should go. Someone mentioned that he wasnt playing too well before his injury..form is temporary but class is permanent! Imagine if he was playing in that midfield (with wingers) rather than big Lee?? IF he was to be sold then 1.5 mill (euros or punds) is a complete joke. I Personally think that we got him for next to nothing.. Hes an International.... FOR PORTUGAL!!!!!! Name another Portugese international that has that price tag???? I say keep him!

Adoniram 1,919 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If i remember correctly Mendes was one of the names i mentioned in a thread about players potentially leaving Ibrox. The Boyd situation has changed in our favour and the word from inside Ibrox is that Boyd is going nowhere. The McGregor one i am still working on because the information i was given garding Alexander came from a source close to Alexander. At this time though i cannot confirm if it was genuine or someone wanting to start a vicious rumour. As for Bougherra the story was correct 2 months ago but since then a lot has happened and i now cannot confirm if Bougherra's situation has changed or he still does have that EPL club lined up. Guess we'll just have to wait and see unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
