We as a Club and support have seen exactly what he brings to the table and , IMO he is a snip at £3000 per week and 3 years contract. After all, we have had our fair share of huddies in his position earning, what £1,500 - £2000 per game, better to have a proven leader like McPake. Wish we had 11 players of same quality and commitment.
I'm not convinced. I know this is a suggestion that's mooted and rarely implemented, but a low weekly wage with a higher appearance fee would be ideal, in order to cover ourselves in the event that his back problems reoccur.
Football manager has a lot to answer for.Quote:

Imaginary in the sense that people are imagining that they know what has been offered or what he wants.Quote:

Not according to the man himself. His injury at hibs was his groin injury which was evident at many of the matches when he was constantly stretching it. If he can play as well as he did with this then a fully fit McPake is worth 3k a week.Quote:

You'll not get through to them. 3k a week and a 3 year deal have long since been adopted as Gospel alongside Riordan's 20k a week China wage.Quote:

Do we share a scouting team with the Sheep or something!?Quote:

Similar size club, similar ambitions and similar budgets, its inevitable we'll be targeting the same players, wonder if this means there move for Hayes is in doubt then.Quote:

We can't even afford to sign most of the SPL players we covet. No chance of us offering James more than everyone else.Quote:

Left pompey to be closer to his family who live in Exeter. No chance.Quote:

If it means paying more than we have in the past then so be it.
Just because you want us to pay 'top coin' doesn't mean that we can afford to do it. Maybe you didnt notice how low crowds were last season. Less money in means less to go out. Unless you know different of course.Quote:

I'd like us to get Moore and another winger, one thing we've missed for about the last 2/3 seasons is some genuine width in our team.
Fixed that for you :wink:Quote:

Hibs rumours throwing some mad stuff on about McFadden on a pay as you play deal.
Cannae see it myself
McFadden is not the player he used to be IMO but would still be happy if he signed for us. Cant see it happening though TBH.Quote:
