Quote ="BigTime"On the other site suggestion that Albert was last year’ s best paid player. Also that Hughes wasn’t overly happy with performances. I can see the latter certainly earlier in the season but the former must surely be a scurrilous rumour. He came from a L1 side if I recall. If true may explain why a few senior players perhaps holding out for a wage increase. One assumes Kennedy has come in for Albert.'"
Whilst I assume he would've been on a decent contract as an overseas and current international, I would be surprised if he had been our top earner, especially given he was essentially an interchange forward. Must have a cracking agent if true and maybe that's why Hughes was down on him.
As you say I thought his form to begin the season was decidedly average, but he did seem to pick up towards the back end. A lovely guy to speak with, but when Mike announced the 9 or so that were leaving, he was one of the first that came to mind.
