Christie has 6 months left on his contract, he can sign a pre contract now with a club to join in January, if we get over £1m we'll be doing well.if we are getting 5 million for those 3 and id imagine 30k wages
I doubt we can reinvest that with 3 players of better quality
Now I agree getting rid of players who arent 100 percent committed is right
but just letting 3 very good players leave for pittance then expecting some kind of better investment is not gonna be easy
All 3 have good standard in europe albeit poorly managed in last couple of years
In this bizarre market unless we can buy better and recoup our costs at least i cant see how you find better players more committed with at least same level of experiuence for 5 million and maybe 30k per week
investment doesnt include throwing money down the pan.
Christie alone would cost approx 5 million
And both ntcham and boli for all their lack of commitment are probably of same standard of import we already cant really afford
Why would next set of investment be more committed after 3 months in freezing scotland playing against weak teams in cold stadiums with no fans
not such an easy task to invest in better players without same risks we have with these 3
And as much as i am into buying scottish ready players i dont think many players in scotland are much better than these 3 dudes
you cant reinvest buttons and get quality and unless we get a massive uplift in income we are already struggling to stay level with our wage bill that our players dont rate.
We need to fix wage budget imo and if that means playing scottish talent then so be it imo
but im no sure it would be an upgrade in those 3
And tbh i thought frimpong was garbage so if he is worth 10M i doubt we can get foreign players in of high enough quality to outgrade those 3 talent
still they do need to go
but imo
if its not at acceptable bids we should just let them rot in reserves until their ciontracts run done to deter further taking piss from their agents
their careers will stall without first team football and if they want play funny buggers then do it in the 3rd team
Ntcham, last year of his contract, done nothing last season with us, was a disaster at Marseilles, lucky if we get £2m for him.
Bolingoli, by virtue of having 2 years left on his contract will probably get us most money in a transfer fee. He's crap but would still maybe get a couple of million.
Ntcham and Bolingoli weren't there last season so we're not looking for a replacement as such, maybe spend the money elsewhere. Replacing the Christie of last season won't be difficult, in fact a fit Tom Rogic is a better player.
We don't have a reserve team never mind a 3rd team, so if we don't get them out they will be hanging about the first team squad
