Rousseau 10,814 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm gutted for the big man, but if he wasn't going to get a game then fair enough. He wasn't great with the ball at his feat, so isn't really W&W material. Good servant last year, but at 30 he needs to be playing. I get the sense that he wasn't trying to take a wage for nothing. He'll get a half-decent Premiership club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyBlue 0 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Would be very interested to see our wage bill after all the summers ins and outs. I have no idea if it's + or - on last year Hmm... Out: Kris Boyd, forward (Kilmarnock); Lee McCulloch, defender (Kilmarnock); Steven Smith, defender (Kilmarnock); Bilel Mohsni, defender (Angers); Richard Foster, defender (Ross County); Calum Gallagher, forward (St Mirren); Kyle Hutton, midfielder (Queen of the South); Jamie Burrows, forward (Yeovil Town); Greg Pascazio, defender (Montrose); Ian Black, midfielder; Jon Daly, forward; Steve Simonsen, goalkeeper; Sebastien Faure, defender; Lee Robinson, goalkeeper; Lewis McMinn, goalkeeper; Kristian Gibson, defender; Junior Ogen, forward; Scot Whiteside, defender. Loan: Ryan Sinnamon, defender (Falkirk); Luca Gasparotto, defender (Greenock Morton); Darren Ramsay, defender (Arbroath). Loan ended: Haris Vuckic, midfielder (Newcastle United); Shane Ferguson, midfielder (Newcastle United); Gael Bigirimana, midfielder (Newcastle United); Kevin Mbabu, defender (Newcastle United); Remie Streete, defender (Newcastle United). In: Mark Warburton, manager (Brentford); David Weir, assistant manager (Brentford); James Tavernier, defender (Wigan Athletic, undisclosed); Martyn Waghorn, forward (Wigan Athletic, undisclosed); Rob Kiernan, defender (Wigan Athletic, undisclosed); Jason Holt, midfielder (Hearts, compensation); Danny Wilson, defender (Hearts); Andy Halliday, midfielder (Bradford City); Wes Foderingham, goalkeeper (Swindon Town); Jordan Thompson, midfielder (Manchester United). Loan: Nathan Oduwa, forward (Tottenham Hotspur); Dominic Ball, defender (Tottenham Hotspur). Depends on the % we were paying the Newcastle guys wages which is still to come out. Ashley still has nondisclosure on that sadly. Also the % we are paying Arsenal and Spurs. Based on what info there is and FM (laugh but they try to source it too)...I'd think we are paying less this season by a fair bit. Waghorn's Wigan wage was less than Boyd for example and Jig cost more than Tavernier's and Kiernan's Wigan wage combined. Holt and Halliday were on relative peanuts. Credit to Warburton...not only has he signed players cheaply on transfer fees but none were earning much in wages either. That's the "value" and "youth" he keeps talking about.

LucyBlue 0 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Surely he should have been kept for cover. To be fair maybe Warburton has said he wouldn't get in and tried to do him a favour. He likes a lean squad apparently we keep hearing I don't think Warburton was ever going to play him much...he needs defenders with ball skills to play his system. He also likes developing youngsters...30 yrs old was a no go for him. Shows a greater respect to let him go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,732 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We need to realise too that none of the SPL journeymen McCoist signed on exorbitant salaries who are now entering the final year of their contracts will get offered new contracts. Darren McGregor was one of them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-1000 174 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't get ithe was one of our better players last season with a weak central defence, Keirnan still to show he's got what it takes and Eustace looking he may not achieve the fitness level we require, and the new guy Bolt or is it Ball still to prove himself you'd think paying off his contract will save us zilch on wages bit puzzled by this Surprised he wasn't kept for cover in the case of injuries or loss of form by Wilson or Kiernan but presume Warburton thinks Ball will be sufficient backup. In addition, he did not meet the managers profile of young ball player and therefore where is his added value. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren McGregor was one of them. That's actually a very good point. The last thing we need is another season where a dozen players practically down tools because they've got very little chance of a new contract. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
