Higher Paid Player Maybe?

[a don in oz]

Oh aye? How does this fit with the strict wage structure at the club then?

Christ, this will be the James Mcfadden thing again

[a don in oz]

He doesn't mention any names and only mentions it as a possible, not a definite.

 

But I'd not complain if it was that.

 

 

[Stoney]

How about you just sign a left back and a right back you senile old cunt.

[ollie1903]

I've personally stopped listening to him. It now makes me shudder with embarrassment.

He's a bell end.

 

Your only happy moment is Smith being in the squad. I doubt he'll play though. He seems to be someone who can play football and score goals.

 

That's not in keeping with Craig Brown tactics at all.

[sheepiekev]

More likely he means combine Uchechi & Paton.

That would barely get you

[a don in oz]

He actually specifically mentioned Fyvie and Arnason.

[laphroaig]

Could we not have done that to keep Arnason? FFS.

[Redstar]

Correct

[sheepiekev]

He actually specifically mentioned Fyvie and Arnason.

 

And tear up the wage structure?

Not an earthly that Milne & Fraser will sanction that.

[The Boofon]

Dodged a bullet not doing it IMO.

[deco_1985]

Was told by someone last week that we will be keeping Arnason, and half his wages will be paid by an oil company that my mates dad works for. Probably pish, but just thought I would pass on...

[Dandyesque]

What wage structure?

 

I thought McGhee made it clear that he had a budget and could spend it how he liked?

 

If he wanted to pay a fee, fine - but he'd lose wages.

 

If he wanted to bring in Hartley on inflated wages, fine - but he'd lose the ability to sign another player.

 

Has that changed?

IMO it is ridiculous to have a rigid structure. If you have a valuable asset, you should be able to pay higher wages in order to realise maximum value - like Hearts did with Craig Gordon (although £18k per week is probably pushing it)

[Dandyesque]

If you pay Arnason X amount a week then you make the next level of players such as Considine and Vernon knocking on the manager's door asking for X amount also.

 

Also gives the agents of potential new signings leverage to demand more wonga if our top earners are on more.

 

It's more to do with the knock on effect.

 

I understand that aspect - not that I think Arnason is worth it - particularly with Osborne, Milsom, Rae and Hughes already on the payroll for next season.

 

Fyvie may be a different story though - if there are Premiership teams sniffing around, it might be worth paying him an extra

[Dandyesque]

And if they don't sign him we are 100k a year down.

 

True.

 

It's a gamble.

 

But he's a cracking wee player - we'll still be able to play him.

Arneson is completely over rated on this forum. In the semi some of his passing and control was dire. Absolutely nothing special at all, certainly not worth breaking any wage structure for thats for sure.

 

Dunno who brown is thinking of but certainly macfaden has not played for everton so little prospect of him signing on there.

 

I would like to have seen us try and get Greg Wylde personally, don't know how realistic that would have been but he hasn't found a club as far as I know.

 

It'll no doubt be a Scottish player and I'm struggling to think of another that would fit other than macfaden. Can't see a 'stellar' foreign signing coming to Scotland.

I'll admit that my long term man crush ( ) on Arnason is wearing thin. His form has dipped considerably ever since the specualtion pver his future at the club began. He is definitely a capable player but not indispensible to the club.

Wasn't sure about that, was out our reach anyway I suppose.
