Roma Want Senderos

[TonyGilroy]

I've no idea what he's earning but if he had a £35K a week contract that had expired he was left with no contract at all and £0 per week.

So he'd have had to see who wanted him at what price and gone for what seemed the best deal for him.

On a slightly separate point I never believe that a player is on £xK per week. Their contracts will be more complicated than that with all sorts of potential add ons and contingencies. Ultimately the better they do the more they'll earn.

yeh that was his Arsenal contract  :003:

He hardly took a pay cut to join Fulham from Arsenal.

He had endured a torrid time at the end of his Arsenal career with several loan moves that did not pan out well, so I would speculate that he would have accepted a significantly lower wage to stay in the prem.

Fight, fight fight. Let me get some popcorn first though.

No reason to let him go. He will be massive for us in our three cup competitions next season, just like Smalling was.

But we all want good bench players, don't we?

In midtable, most first XIs could probably beat another midtable first XI on a good day. For teams fighting for the scraps left by the genuinely big clubs (the odd 7th place qualification for Europe, cup runs and the odd cup win, etc.) it's the strength in depth that's important. Genuine strength in depth will mean paying probably more than you'd really want to for a player who won't get many games outside of the cups.

Losing Zamora (et al.) was a disaster early this season - having players of Sendero's calibre on the bench will mean that an injury to Hangeland won't be similarly disasterous.

Thank you, people consistently complain that the bench players are 'not up to task' (even though they generally are) and as soon as we have a strong bench people want to get rid of them.

Beggars belief!

[Mr Fulham]

Yes he will be on massive wages. 30k easily.

You couldn't be more ironic if you tried.

Please take him
