But the club should have known that they would demand high wages.Genghers wrote: ↑Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:39 pm OR the interest was real, but they were demanding excessive wages that we weren't prepared to spend.
Vydra on £50k/w isn't worth it, even if he was top scorer last season (with the lowest total since 2009...). Hernandez has just failed a medical at CSKA Moscow and they were going to ask him to lower his wage demands anyway.
How many people buy season tickets based on signings? Agree that Kinnear's exciting summer comments seem premature now and you shouldn't go making those promises, but I don't think there was any devious intent there.
Hernandez wanted 70k off Villa in 2016 he was always going to demand a huge signing on fee and wages.
Vydra apparently didnt want to join, thats reflected in his wage demands, if he wasnt keen he isnt going to change his mind, why does it take a month to come to that conclusion?
It would seem odd for the leagues top scorer to go to a lower placed league club without a huge wage increase.
Naive of LUFC to expect anything different, those 2 were never likely to be bowled over by Bielsa and Leeds, cold hard cash would always be the reason.
Hope you're right regarding Kinnear but there was a lot of spin, even when Bielsa arrived we were told that "transfers were very advanced".
If thats the case who was that with?
Will wait and see and hope.
