Rohan Ricketts

[Strike Force]

Shameless plug yes, but I interviewed Rohan for my podcast and we spoke briefly about his trial at Southend. He basically said that he was initially offered around 3k a week which was then dramatically reduced by 60% a few days later. Just interesting to hear he was offered that much at the beginning - and begs the question, are we still paying big wages at the moment?

That is a lot of money for a player at league 2 level.

Thats the same amount that Alan Smith is earning at MK Dons.

My gut instinct tells me that £3k a week is porkies, there's no way we'd have offered that.....

That's what I'm thinking. Unless we did it to get his attention so he would agree to join our tour of Scotland, then change it so if he rejected we can just put it down to him "wanting more money".

You think he's lying? Sounds like classic Ron to me

Any reason why or just plain abuse for the hell of it?

Every met him?

Just a personal opinion from meeting a number of times

Why does his wiki call him a striker when he's got less than a goal a year?

Fair enough, just seemed a bit out the blue to be honest.

Sounds like classic Agent behaviour to me.
