Amac9 2,060 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Davis, Jelavic, Amac, Bougherra, Naismith then WhittakerI'm happy with the wages I'm on thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Amac....the poster on here from Northern Ireland ? Just signed a 5 year contract worth £20,000 a week... Over the moon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACAB 2 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 This is why i love the game, eveyone has an opinion and they strongly believe that opinion is so obviously the correct one.In MY opinion, Whittacket is worth the £15-£20k per week that is being suggested because of his versatility. He has played at right wing, midfield, right back, left back & centre half, could easily be described as a jack of all trades (certainly not a master of one .. before anyone else says that). His versatility IS the reason for his worth.Would you spend a lot of money on a bucket just because you can use it to wash the car, hold paint or take a crafty shite when your bird is in the shower?That's what Whittaker is - a bucket.

supermac 115 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Fuck this, punt him put the cash towards Hutton coming back I wonder if we signed Cuellar renewed McGregor and Davis's contracts he'd be tempted back on 20k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a football player who can play a multitude of roles, when required which was quite often this season and we would have been in trouble otherwise.There is no doubting the value of a 'utility' player even when that term can be used to insult rather than highlight how important a contribution they can make over a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Fucking shocking, as soon as he rejected the 1st offer, we shouldn't offer him another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Anyone who thinks whittaker is worth more than 20k is mad. People slate the EPL for giving out big wages to shite players. The only players i would give a new contract to are, McGregor and Davis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His versatility IS the reason for his worth.Really Whittaker shouldn't be first choice for any of these positions. And if we need a utility man I'm sure we can find someone just as versatile and just as average for £10k per week or less. I would hate to see us fail to tie down McGregor or Davis when we could punt Whittaker and make an extra £15-20k available for players who deserve to be top earners.

At what point do they think, 'There's guys in the stands raising a family on minimum wage. I'm taking the piss here!'?Greedy cunts.I hear ya mate. I really do.The deals Davis and Shagger signed were two plus seasons ago. Both have done really well and both will command significantly more wages per week than the 20k that Whittaker has rejected and him saying it isnt enough. So that makes me ill. Think what it will take to tie down Shagger and Davis to long term deals?This is why I am concerned. Footballers today are greedy bastards and we simply cant compete if it comes to money.Look at Boogie he is (by mhedia reports) interested in going to fucking Switzerland?? Just for money?Look at Hemed? He went to a Spanish team that will get pumped each week.Boyd, Miller all went for the money!So, what we earn and what is our reality means fuck all to these guys. Its not like the old days. Is it?What will become our new Rangers salary cap? I read Whyte will allow more salary but will be deducted from the transfer money?

ScotBear 144 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm desperate for Whittaker to go because I'm in complete shock that the club could possibly offer him 20k a week !! 10-12k a week.........yeah ok, useful to have in the squad as he can play a number of positions.......but to make him a top earner ?!We're talking about a defender that can't defend. He's undoubtedly the biggest liability in our side. Good feet but the football brain of a pub player I read someone describe him......and that sums him up for me. He's got the natural talent to cause weaker sides problems.......such as a couple of years ago when he was scoring doubles against the likes of Hamilton and St Mirren, and striding forward in possession with confidence. But in europe, Old Firm fixtures, top 6 against the likes of Conway and Templeton........he was woeful far too regularly.If we offer Whittaker 20k per week then that's the benchmark for our other players to compare themselves when it's their turn to negotiate. If Whittaker gets 20k per week.......then what do we pay the likes of Naismith, Jelavic, Lafferty and in time guys like Ness and Wylde ? That's how our wage bill will either spiral out of control........or we'll have players leaving because they'll feel they aren't being paid fairly in comparison to others.We should ask Buraspor to give us £1m and let him go asap.
