transfer fee not wages.

It still does seem way over the odds to pay that for a player with only 1 year left on his deal and who has already made it clear he does not want to be at the club beyond 2010.

True, but that 300k may include both a transfer fee and 2 year's wages or something. We could do with more info!



I obviously know nothing about the inner working of what's going on with Salford, Warrington and Myler - but I could imagine he'd take less money to play in a "bigger" team, with better chances of challenging for silverware and so forth.

What does this say about salford i would be very concered that 2 of your stars going to a bigger club how/when will you be able to move if you dont have the squad to demand a new stadium.

No chance, players are motivated by money, it's their job. If you were offered a job at Tesco for £5 an hour and double that at ASDA, which one would you take?

Sorry it did look like I was refering the 300k to cap and not a tranfer fee.
Regardless my point was that there are a lot of big name players at Wire to be all managed under the cap. Adding Myler to the mix surely would put more strain on what already looks a stretched cap.

If its just a transfer fee, 12 months before they can get him for nothing, they are mad. If its part transfer , part wages then maybe, but its still a huge gamble.

I really think that you lot are over hyping Tomkins. He is far from the great player that you are making out. He does have potential but is far from the finished article as is Eastmond. Both their displays hardly set the world alight at the weekend did they.
Tomkins for me also has a suspect attitude in respect that he can easily be got at.
Apart from the forward pass that he collected at the weekend he hardly struck fear in to the opposition..
Myler is probably on a par with both of them and has played in a poor Salford team all year.

There have been alot of games this year other fans will not of seen where he has been superb, you watch him collect the young player of the year award even if he does not play the next few games. He has more of an all round game than Myler and Eastmond. All the best players have an attitude. Good players are always hated by other fans like Long or Wellens (a former good player) from saints

Tony Smith wasn't the Wire coach then you plonker.

No, you are wrong, it was 450k you payed for Fielden.

I'm not sure that's altogether comparable, to be honest. For one thing, I'm not sure Wire are offering to double whatever Salford have offered, and the lure of potential success has to be worth something.

Well played Salford is all I can say.

200k of that is IL's money which went their way for Gleeson.

That would have been funny and made sense if Fieldens defence wasnt the only thing thats keeping him in the team

Thick Wire fans

100?

200k in what currency? it was £100k

Unless he thinks Mathers is worth 100k

Your right, NEIL BARKER at the time said wigan payed Warrington 200k and gave wire mathers for Gleeson......SO IT MUST BE TRUE.

zimbabian dollars maybe

Or maybe it's just a wire fan trying to make things look good with his primrose and blue glasses. Any wire fan saying this is a good deal is just plain daft.

The simple fact is that most Wire fans don't care as it makes very little difference to any of us. Moran maybe out of pocket but he can afford it.

Come on people, it is Neil Barker who has said Wire will pay 300k, think nosey parker told him.

Well spending so much money on one player who is still unproven on a long deal means you will be unable to sign another big player if need be.

Any signing, transfer fee or not, is a gamble.

In this instance such a huge amount of cash for a relatively 'new SL' player is extraordinary.

Just wait till we sign Ryan Atkins........think this board could blow.
