Mitrovic £100k a week (1 Viewer)

[skybluesam66]

according to quest last night - shows what we are up against, and even more what an effort this is
Out 1st team squad probably something similar in total

That isn't a bad investment if you can afford it....
£5.2 m - if that gets the goals for the premier League, then Fulham (same with Bournemouth and solanke), will be happy enough.
I'm not saying we should, as we can't afford it. Happy with the four strikers and the choices they offer.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

20 goals in 17 games - money well placed if he gets them back to the Premier League

Trouble is you can’t afford to fail

Trouble is you can’t afford to fail

His record even before this season was better than 1 in 2 in the Championship

 

[lordy_87]

That is fucking ridiculous

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Didn’t it come out during Richard Keogh’s case that Derby were paying him 24k a week?

 

[Greggs]

10 times the player Waghorn is, similar wages too. Bad recruitment in my eyes.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Strikers will always be at a premium - it seems you're as good as guaranteed goals with a fit Mitrovic in this league.
100k is a bit crazy though.
Weren't Swansea paying Ayew 80k last season - now that is nuts ?

 

[Blind-Faith]

Just shows what we’re up against and actually how fucking brilliant we are doing when we’re coming up against players who are on that much!

 

[pusbccfc]

He's shite in the Prem.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Could deduce that from the fee he was awarded

If he gets a long term injury, Fulham are fucked, and going bankrupt. That's the risk they are taking.
Premier league parachute payments for relegated teams, put every other championship side at a disadvantage, which hardly seems fair

I read somewhere the EFL are looking to get parachute payments ended.

Read something on a Bournemouth blog about 2 weeks ago which argued that it’s much ado about nothing.
They analysed the last 10 years of promotions / relegations from the top two divisions. It stated that marginally more teams relegated from Championship into League 1 get immediately promoted than from Premiership into Championship.
Therefore parachute payments are legitimate and don’t distort the football pyramid.
Smelled of big sweaty bollocks to me! Trying to justify the unjustifiable…..

 

[Mcbean]

Even if he’s paid 100k he needs the service from the the likes of Kabano- so they are hooked

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The report said Ayew and Deeney were the highest paid previously both struggling on by on 80k per week. I wonder what Blues are paying Deeney?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He's shite in the Prem.

Didnt he only get 3 goals?

Probably a season ticket on pitch as he is watching the games go by

 

[pusbccfc]

Yep, really struggled in the second stint in the PL with Fulham. He got about 7/8 for Newcastle and a similar number for Fulham in his second PL season.

He's brilliant for Serbia though too.

I think he is one of them who could do better with better players around him (in the prem)

The last accounts show an £84 million wage bill so he’s not really much of an issue in isolation

Insurance?

 

[Flying Fokker]

That’s just so that city don’t get it in 3 years time!

 

[fatso]

Insurance?

Insurance wont replace his goals.
And without his goals they are unlikely to get promoted (imo)
And without promotion, their financial situation looks dire.

As I've said above, his goals are pivotal to them surviving financially.

He’s 27 and never had a serious injury

So???

They won’t go bust anyway - the guy who owns them is mega rich and clearly sees his sporting interests as play things

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

So???

So he isn’t injury prone - of course he could get a serious injury anytime but they’ve not given 100k to Andy Carroll have they?

I'd say he's long overdue a serious injury then.
If they get him through the season unscathed and they get promotion, then fair play. But they are putting a lot of eggs in one basket (imo) as without him they are bang average at best.

Financial fair play rules will come into play if their owner tries to bail them out.
(Hopefully)

That’s not going bust though and it’s 5 years before that would even happen

Some players are more durable than others and can go through their whole careers without serious injury. From what I can see the most games he’s missed is 9.

Combine that with his exceptional record at Championship level and it’s a gamble with minimal risk
