Daniella I have it on very good authority from a reliable source that shorey is on his way. He's said to be disgusted with the lack of ambition and progress over the summer, and has said that he will be looking to join a more established club with a more secure future.
So with shorey on his way, where does that leave the team? Is golbourne ready to step up? He was quite impressive pre-season so i'm not too worried really. What are your thoughts?

SpaceCruiserBinfield Royal Therefore, the lesson must be - pay your top existing players what they're worth because if not, someone else will.
If we did that, then we'd be bankrupt! There is a wage structure for a reason.

retro royal I'm slightly worried by this continous talk of 5m, could there be a release clause in his contract and that's why we're trying to get him to sign a new contract.
Also watching yesterday's game against the japanese team, he didn't look up for it, could just be the conditions out there.

Binfield Royal So you admit we don't pay our players what they're worth then?
Binfield Royal Also, a player like Shorey wouod cost us £5m plus wages. If we had top pay him an extra £5k a week to keep him, that must be better business?

Stop press from my normal HP.
We have discussed a fee with Reading and been in contact with the players representatives in connection with outline terms of an offer. Reading for some reason best known to themselves have been stalling on giving him an improved contract (which he expected regardless of external interest) and the boy is getting understandably impatient. Nothing will happen till Reading return from the Far East (this week-end?) but I'm told "we have a decent chance". Remember too he was always Curbs #1 choice for LB.
Not much else to report apart from:
1. Think we may be making more of the Appiah thing than the club is.
2. Everyone is absolutely gutted by the Faubert injury. He was fitting in real good and promising much. He'll recuperate back in France.
3. The Dyer stuff was a complete surprise "to everyone at the club".

Don Finch I just want to know if he is Pardew's pony or if it's an insult.
Early next week Shorey will sign a new contract, he's a bright lad and knows what's best for him. Tha's not a rumour but an opinion.

SpaceCruiser I think you can safely ignore the figure of £5m as I think it's some figure dreamed up by the rumour-mongers.

It's not just me thinking it's a rumour, it IS a rumour because there's nothing definite to prove it as true.
Stick to ringing up gay chat lines in your local phone box.

Behindu [That assumes :
- Sidwell was stupid and wasn;t well aware of what he might get elsewhere right at the start of the process
- That Sidwell would have accepted 18k (you may have inside knoweldge on that - I don't)
- That the initial (and final) club offer was £15k (which I doubt given the much larger sums offered to others)
- That the club should pay people whatever they want.
I'd argue the evidence over the last few seasons is that almost every player has been happy to accept new deals offered so the pay must be about right. Of course we have players like Shorey and Lita now in talks who are in a different league to people like Sidwell in terms of what they might reasonably be expected to earn and it will be interesting to see how their discussions are approached. I would expect both to be offered much more than Sidwell was, given that they are both much more important / better players in our team.
