Zamora Fan Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I can't see us getting Rooney to be honest. He'd be an excellent signing for a club like Saints, but feel he'll command too high a wage for us. supposedly we're willing to pay half his 5k wage he got at Swindon according to the Agent Scotland twitter but I can't see us shelling out 2.5k in wages on one player. He does mention us paying Craig Beattie slightly more than 2.5k last season though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I reckon very few folk on this forum have an accurate grasp on what players are paid at Saints. I work in a small office, and I have no idea what the guy next to me gets paid. I reckon it's the same at football clubs - as soon as wages are public then every player starts to demand more, and either moral or effort will suffer. If the players don't know what each other are on in detail, then how on earth does some random on twitter know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know exactly what the guy next to you is paid but I'd assume you'd have a good idea based on what you earn in comparison to what job he has?

Do you reckon that Saints would pay £2500 a week basic salary, even on a player that I'm sure we would have thought would be one of our star players? Considering we have under 2000 season ticket holder and 1500 or so through the gates everycouple of weeks? Even allowing for off field revenue, I highly doubt we'd be in a position to pay such high wages. No one will know the nitty gritty of what people are on, but I think we can make general guestimations. I wouldn't have thought we'd pay as much as £2500 a week on anyone.

RandomGuy Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The Agent Scotland account is a load of shite. Rooneys wanting £2.5k minimum, we can't pay that amount and we wouldn't even if we could Sandaza will never play for St Johnstone again Fallon is just one of a long list of strikers we're planning on watching.

Personally I don't think Saints would pay anyone that kind of money, but I don't KNOW so I won't assume. Because of court cases against players like Sandaza, we have a good idea of what he was on, and that leads me to think that paying £2500 a week is a number that the board wouldn't even consider, but again, I don't KNOW that. What I think is also important, and not mentioned above to the best of my knowledge, is that players re-signing (and that is a large percentage of the squad) will have had a strong case to ask for a pay rise due to the achievements of last season, so I don't think the reduction is squad size will have freed up a lot of money for new salaries.

pete1967 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 He must have been better than the likes of Lowry and bowerman to be offered a contract Maybe its about time some of these young players were breathing down the necks of our established players and not just getting used as bench warmers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Saint Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I wouldn't say he was rubbish without seeing him but he's a target man and we don't need a target man, we need someone to put the ball in the net pure and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming through youth ranks at Rangers and Motherwell won't have done him any harm either. The leg break against Caley, was that first team or youth? Can't say I recognise the name.
