MrDiCanio Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Not too fussed about his contract, we've shed about 5x that off the wage bill over the last few days anyway, and G&S have *claimed* they'll be filling the holes left by relegation financially. I think that will be Nouble, heard something like that when we first signed him but it only seemed to be paper talk. We've sent him out on loan constantly so I'm hoping he'll get a few chances this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ridiculous wages and you'll never be able to shift him in a few years when you no longer need him. It's just like when you couldn't shift all your high earning dead wood previously.

sean_oc16 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 See, just centering the logo and using the list of fans in code tags from the old thread makes it look so much better. Title needs capitalising though, that still annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats the one Nouble, £15k a week for him is massivly huge when you look at a lot of championship wages, but apparently West ham have always been one of the bigger wage payers.

G-Man11 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Isn't Nouble one of those players who excelled at youth level purely because he was so much stronger/faster/bigger than everyone else but it's debatable whether he'll ever be good enough technically (or mentally) to excel at senior level?

Still doubtful about our chances of keeping him but if we did, I'd start to fancy us at 16/1. Leeds at home first game...Not bad, should be a good test and fancy our chances but after that we play pretty much every tipped team in the first 10 weeks.

MrDiCanio Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Apologies for the delay on the safety wink, thought we'd be alright without it: If its coming out of G&S's pockets, which it is, then theres not much for me to be concerned about.
