Latest Rumours Blues in Spain / "Sawyer not a priorty".

[Yer Blues]

Quick challenge to the Shrimperzone public. I can only think of one Adrian (possibly) ever to have player for us. Can you name him

(And I may be wrong as think he was before my time slightly).

They're as accurate as the head researcher could estimate.

Each club has their own researcher (James is ours, I believe) and they're only accepted on if they watch a big % of games.

They're probably accurate to ~£200 p/w either way, I would'a thought.

Interesting.

If some of these Barcelona B players are only on £500-£700 p/w there is no worry in terms of being able to afford their wages then.

I am not an FM man. But how accurate are these wage quotes? Pure bow lox I expect?

All the player havbe to submit a tax return to the game makers before the season starts mate so pretty accurate I would imagine. The game was actually late coming out this year because Carl Pettifer forgot to send his in in time.

Those wages seem about right to me. Obviously they're paid in Euros and that's always fluctuating, and you've got to remember living costs, they may need to be paid more/less to live in England.

As T&B said, they seem about L1/L2 standard, nothing spectacular.

**** forgot him ok think there is two then.....

Was it Adrian Burrows, who we had on loan back in 80's, when we had Lee Nogan as well?

Really?

One of the Barcelona B players you mentioned has a buyout clause of €20 million!!

Burrows was class.

It's the law that they need a buy-out clause in Spain, so they pretty much shove any number on there.

Well done mate....Some rep coming your way.

 

[number11]

Burrows was class.

Indeed, who signed him? Was always glad that he had a decent career....similarly Guy Butters.

Paul Clark, I think.

 

[number11]

Paul Clark, I think.

So he got Burrows and Nogan in to stop the rot, and then signed Crown and Butler....not bad little forays into the market for such a short stint as manager...

What about Adrian West? played at LB a couple of times if memory serves... last seen plying his trade in the Southend Sunday League

and Adrian Owers - midfielder in the mid-80s, played about 20 games.

 

[BoyWonder2]

I like the idea of looking abroad for talent, as Brushy says, the technique they have is fantastic out in Spain but the pace of the game is a lot slower. There could well be a bargain to be had out there. We've has 3 French players this season that have all done well for us.

As for Sawyer. I understand that other positions are higher up on the list than central midfield, but if there is someone of that ability avaliable to someone like us we shouldn't be telling them to hang fire whilst we sign a left winger etc.

If a player is avaliable to us, which Sawyer appears to be, then we should be going in for him as well as other players. I hope we don't miss out on him because we are chasing other positions.

Indeed. My missus said she's be putting a buy out clause of 25 Euro on me when we're on honeymoon in Barcelona this August.

 

[undercovershrimper]

wouldnt mind seeing sawyer come in, but its only really going to be as cover for macca. Like PB said central midfield isnt a priority

Good shout - I knew his brother. Westy played more games for the reserves than anything else as a certain Chris Powell was beginning his time with us and looking like he might do ok.
