Undisclosed transfer fees (1 Viewer)

[NorthernWisdom]

They're ridiculous at the best of times. Not exactly transparent, are they?

But this is about the most ridiculous example I've seen.

Walsall break 37-year transfer record

says the BBC main site link.

The undisclosed fee for the 20-year-old, who has 10 caps for his country, is more than the £175,000 paid for Birmingham City's Alan Buckley in 1979.

So their record fee is now... undisclosed.

But more than £175k.

£175k and a penny?

£175million...?

Only SISU do that

Don't care whodoes them, they take half the fun out of a football pre-season. Where's the excitement of being an £undisclosed footballer? Not exactly a £million splash, is it?

And where's the chance to laugh at a team spending £undisclosed for that heap of junk?

I think it was about £300k rumoured for him

3 goals in 27 apps last year, that'll keep Simeon Jackson on his toes!

You worry about your own lack of signings, and we'll worry about what ours turn out like.

Trust me, if we spend anything over £30,000 on a player that people haven't heard of, then they've got something. Last time was Jorge Leitao who served is very well.

Undisclosed makes perfect business sense. Let other lower league clubs gloat about what they receive/pay and wonder why they make losses, unlike us.

One thing I like about American sports is they publish full details of players contracts. Should do the same here, publish the fee and wages.

I'm not worried about any lack of signings, thank you

Oh and thanks for the nibble.
