From a very good source
We are very confident Vaclav Cerny with be a Ger next season, club have made his permanent signing their number one priority and hope to confirm this when the window reopens in the summer
There's other interest but Cerny has absolutely loved his season to date and keen to continue on again next season
Told the fee is within what we are willing to pay
@EHL @john can either of u confirm?
1.) 09 Feb 2025 06:00:49
I think we will pay Ryan Kent figures for him but in this instance he's worth it. Scoring record is decent and once he was up to speed he's nearly always available. We will have made enough in the EL so far to cover him. i'm happy about thus one if true :-)
2.) 09 Feb 2025 06:20:26
Only thing I've heard is that he is open to a permanent move - wages are the concern, especially as there are a number of others interested parties.
3.) 09 Feb 2025 06:55:00
I'd be surprised if we can tho would be good. He'll be upwards of £5m and on high wages I'm sure. With what committed to turn our loans into permanent it will cost us more than £10m just to stand still.
4.) 09 Feb 2025 07:22:26
Hope you're into is spot on Sydney ?Cerny is a player i would love us to be able to keep permanently ?His numbers for a winger are terrific ???.
5.) 09 Feb 2025 08:15:04
Can't see it if there's interest from EPL. He will go there.
6.) 09 Feb 2025 09:27:18
Would love it to be true BUT, 1 can't see us spending north of 5 mill for 1 player for a while and 2 his wages?, IF EPL sides are interested, we are blown out the water.
& don't give me the 'playing in front 50k and Europa league' like everyone, he will follow the money.
7.) 09 Feb 2025 09:38:16
If there's any interest in him from a team in a decent league he will not be here next season.
8.) 09 Feb 2025 09:48:11
He might well be making all the right noises now, but if an EPL can't in for him in summer then money will talk and I can't see him passing up double the wages to come back to us. I like him, but we need to be very careful about the finances as we could potentially get 2 Koppen projects in for the prices he'll cost us.
9.) 09 Feb 2025 10:10:14
Thanks Sydney. I have been told the only chance we have of keeping Cerny is if we qualify for the Champions league ?.
10.) 09 Feb 2025 11:10:35
I just can't see it because of wages.
11.) 09 Feb 2025 11:27:06
Cerny is currently on 27k. That's maybe high for the new structure but he's definitely worth that imo. We've been relying on tav for our right side threat for years now we're effective with Cerny.
12.) 09 Feb 2025 11:42:50
If we sign for say 7 million and he has a good season in the CL/ EL/ SPL, continues to score and establishes himself on the international stage we could sell for 20-30 million, worth the investment?
13.) 09 Feb 2025 11:58:21
Do think we will have a couple of players out of our normal wage bracket, only hope whatever Cerny gets offered he accepts, cracking player, but if offered the chance at the epl i can't see him sticking around.
14.) 09 Feb 2025 14:24:56
TJBB it's not always that easy for that to happen and he would be 28/ 29 then no one paying that sort of money for a guy that age.
15.) 09 Feb 2025 16:45:28
£7m on the drip we should surely be able to do?
16.) 09 Feb 2025 17:25:05
He a great player and would love him to stay but am slightly worried at costs and wages, if we got champions league then yes but with our current predicament and new model and wage restrictions would the money be better spent on two or three younger players, it's a sticky wicket, hopefully we can bring in some more investment which can help our chances to keep players like him, but if West Ham or another epl team come in, they will pulverise us in wages, again hope lure of potential CL would help sway him.
17.) 09 Feb 2025 17:43:55
We can't afford that type of fee when we've so many areas of the team needed to be improved.
18.) 09 Feb 2025 22:27:34
This seems way off base considering his response to the question by reporters.
Although I do hope he signs
Highly unlikely for me.
01 Feb 2025 22:51:19
With only a few days to go until the window closes we have players linked to us coming in and players potentially moving on
Potential transfers in links
Gyrano Kerk
Amadou Diawara
Bobby Clark.
1.) 01 Feb 2025 23:58:53
Diawara sounds an interesting one. We need another no6 and he was pretty highly rated in Italy not too long ago. Only 27 too.
Not so sure about kerk, at 29 I'm not sure how he'd fit our profile.
2.) 01 Feb 2025 23:59:11
The Bobby Clark rumour keeps cropping up. Loan deal looks the only viable option as Liverpool have a 17.5% sell on clause and/ also a matching bid buy back option on the boy.
3.) 02 Feb 2025 00:29:26
Diawara and Clarke are absolutely terrible. So uninspiring.
4.) 02 feb 2025 01:43:51
are you putting these young players down ee, the irony
or maybe you were just giving your opinion eh?
5.) 02 Feb 2025 07:09:37
Next few days with a run in europe moe cup games ext I would like a couple more in
My oppin
Would like another goalscorer as back up
N an experienced centreback think it's our weakest position, n unfortunately we alwaz seem too pick up injuries in that position.
6.) 02 Feb 2025 07:16:18
I would like mouad dahak before kerk, i would also like bobby clark and hopefully lyall cameron before monday and i'd be happy with that ? However regarding cameron dundee will set a fee to probably stop us signing cameron now and that's fine because we most definitely can't wait until the summer for him obviously as long as we get him officially signed on the pre contract ?.
7.) 02 Feb 2025 08:06:08
Diawara is not a young player.
8.) 02 Feb 2025 09:02:09
I have spoken with a highly regarded Belgian football journalist who has informed me that we have 0 interest in Diawara and Kerk.
9.) 02 Feb 2025 09:28:06
Though Diawara was a very good player a few seasons ago but it looks like he has never kicked on, but still only 27.
10.) 02 Feb 2025 09:36:22
Would that be Nicolas de Brabadner or Sacha Tavolieri you were speaking to?
11.) 02 Feb 2025 09:50:21
Maybe that highly regarded Belgium football journalist just doesn't have a clue Daniel, I prefer listening to someone with inside info.
12.) 02 Feb 2025 09:51:00
Good chance he knows as much as Scottish journalists, zero.
13.) 02 Feb 2025 10:55:53
Personally I think Diawara would be an incredible signing.
Kerk I think would very much be like for like with Cerny and potentially cheaper.
Clark I just don't see unless they are willing to make a loss on him.
14.) 02 Feb 2025 11:00:36
Aye Daniel good for u in your first post, I believe the guy that works at ibrox who said we have been speaking to both before a 0 0 poster.
15.) 02 Feb 2025 11:01:12
He's been on the clickbait Angus?.
16.) 02 Feb 2025 11:01:47
Correct Angus, Sacha Tavolieri. The guy who broke the Raskin story. I asked the question and he gave me the answer. Maybe Patrick Stewart was telling the truth. One (Fernandes) maybe 2 (Cameron) . Clearing the deadwood off the wage bill and giving youth players the chance ahead of next season.
17.) 02 Feb 2025 11:05:49
Also My star, listen to someone with inside info, what everyone on here?
18.) 02 Feb 2025 11:26:01
Fork, so you need to have 100 posts to have knowledge or allowed to posts?
19.) 02 Feb 2025 11:47:38
Nope Daniel, a man that's in the building he will know far better than you or anyone you know.
20.) 02 Feb 2025 11:58:00
No u don't Daniel, this time of year throws up a lot of diddy posters and suspicion always arises, yesterday I commented on it and offered an apology to genuine new posters, that applies to u also should u be in the latter category ?.
21.) 02 Feb 2025 12:19:02
My star so who is in the building?
22.) 02 Feb 2025 12:19:27
Fork ?.
23.) 02 Feb 2025 14:02:02
No worries ?.
24.) 02 Feb 2025 14:05:01
So Daniel can you explain why Sacha hasn't got the story on his Twitter feed yet has chosen to speak to you directly. seems odd for him to do that b ut I may be wrong. I can ask him later though.
25.) 02 Feb 2025 14:19:13
Right who are u n what u done with Angus?.
26.) 02 Feb 2025 17:46:12
Angus. because it's a nothing story? There's 0 interest in the players that's on a Rangers rumours site. Not so sure the likes of him and Romano are scrolling through the Rangers rumours page looking for transfer scoops.
27.) 02 Feb 2025 18:46:05
But it isn't about what he reads on this site. you said he told you personally that Rangers weren't interested in 2 players. If he was telling you then he would put it on his twitter feed. otherwise it would be renowned football transfer journalist finds breaking story but decides not to print it. however he then tells one person the story. aye right ????.
28.) 02 Feb 2025 19:42:57
He did tell me personally?
I asked a question and he answered it by stating 0 interest?
There's no story?
We aren't interested in them.
Unsure why you can't accept that.
29.) 02 Feb 2025 20:15:54
It isn't that I can't accept it, just that I don't believe you. the issue with what you say is that he told you but didn't put it on his twitter feed. He didn't get that info from this site but form one of his connections. then when he got it he didn't broadcast it yet told you. where does he stay now BTW? just a city will do.
30.) 02 Feb 2025 20:52:53
I saw these names on here previously and asked him directly.
He's checked it out and said there is 0 interest.
Me and him aren't friends haha.
I don't need you to believe me, that's what he's told me.
Only passing on info. No wonder folk don't post on here.
You never answered my question from earlier btw, who's in the building you know?
31.) 02 Feb 2025 22:05:06
You didn't ask me the question. look back and you ask My star. the names only appeared tonight so quick turnaround. you never answered mine by the way which city or even the district does he stay in. we might actually know each other you never know if you actually know him.
29 Jan 2025 20:24:18
Hey @john
Any intel as to our potential interest in Nathan Patterson
Heard this may have some legs, either a loan with option in this window or straight purchase in the summer
With just over 2 years left on his contract and very limited mins and opportunity for game time at Everton, and Tavs contract up at in 2027, this one would be a really sensible move for us and a succession plan with a home grown player and Scottish international at RB
He's on a good salary but well within our budget £28k per week
It would take a decent transfer fee, but wouldn't be a transfer fee dissimilar to Cernys IMO
I believe the Cerny potential fee would be around (£7mil minus the £1.5mil loan fee we already paid)
1.) 29 Jan 2025 21:15:28
We won't pay anyone 28k a week now.
2.) 29 Jan 2025 21:18:27
No idea if it's possible or probable but for me, the worry is his injuries.
3.) 29 Jan 2025 21:19:09
A makeweight if they want igamane?
4.) 29 Jan 2025 21:21:39
Sydney. Hearing nothing.
5.) 29 Jan 2025 21:30:21
Thought our new plan for weekly budget was no more than 17.5k?
6.) 29 Jan 2025 21:46:30
No chance we are paying anywhere near 28k moving forward. He will need to take a hit and come for max 20k wages. Igamane 15m plus Patterson.
7.) 29 Jan 2025 21:57:00
The days of big wages are over. Not one player we've had on huge money over the years was worth it.
8.) 29 Jan 2025 22:04:35
Mark, the days of big wages and big money transfers are also over.
We won't pay over 5mill for anyone.
Not for a while anyway.
9.) 29 Jan 2025 22:04:41
Sydney, this is something I can get on board with.
10.) 29 Jan 2025 22:07:42
@Deboer @GMS Cerny is on £25k per week
We will still have marquee players on the books moving forward, just not as many.
11.) 29 Jan 2025 22:15:46
£28k per week for a player who has been injured a lot and made 45 appearances in last 3 seasons. our model is buy low sell high so don't think we would consider this.
12.) 29 Jan 2025 22:29:20
Sydney, I don't think we are paying all of that.
13.) 29 Jan 2025 22:30:06
Only see it if as part of a deal for Igamane.
14.) 29 Jan 2025 22:43:44
Cerny has been valued at €10m by his club.
15.) 29 Jan 2025 23:53:02
He's not even played 100 professional games in his career at 24. This would be an awful move even if we have the money which we don't we simply cannot throw 5+ million at an injury prone player.
16.) 30 Jan 2025 05:34:11
I really hope we don't sign Patterson. Never fit. Only reason people are linking is cause he's ex player. Lazy journalism. Tav is also contracted to end of next season which is 2026.
17.) 30 Jan 2025 06:08:08
I agree great we player if not injured but a he'll of a lot of money on someone with a level injury record, n not a lot of play
Money could be far better invested.
18.) 30 Jan 2025 07:00:39
Liked Patterson - but seems injury prone and hopefully we are trying to lose the tag of signing players who spend long periods out?If Igamane was to go its hard cash we require not a nice deal for Everton.
19.) 30 Jan 2025 07:10:20
As much as I'd like a fit Patterson back, just not on those wages. Sydney would u have a right back as a marquee player like Cerny?
20.) 30 Jan 2025 07:39:39
Would be shocked if we signed anyone on a salary close to that.
21.) 30 Jan 2025 08:26:55
We need a RB though, Tavs going to need replaced, Sterling is injury prone, so we need to be thinking about this.
22.) 30 Jan 2025 08:51:23
We are too sensible or broke to throw money on an injury prone player such as Paterson. We have moved on from that. We buy prospects at max 2m. Paterson not for me.
23.) 30 Jan 2025 09:55:22
Like Patterson but I think signing him would be repeating mistakes of old. We already have a high wage but perennially injured RB in the shape of Sterling.
24.) 30 Jan 2025 12:10:03
Don't think Moyes will let Patterson go, he's started to feature again since Dyche was sacked .
25.) 30 Jan 2025 12:59:57
Eh but we do need a RB, just saying, maybe someone else?
26 Aug 2024 03:37:56
Hey Fellow Bears
Given some comprehensive info over the weekend so thought I would share
Davies - Loan (already almost complete)
Matondo - Perm Transfer (3 championship teams have either bid or shown interest)
Cantwell - Perm Transfer (this will be late in the window, this guy is a dirty dog and trying his best to manufacture a free transfer out, club are aware and will only sell if his €6mil price is met) multiple offers and or enquires are in for him, club have told him he will be playing B team football if no club match their valuation
King - Loan SPL
Lowry - Loan SPL
Devine - Loan English league 1
Hagi - He basically needs to take a pay cut to move permanently, no club have offered him same wages, my source feels this may have to be a last min loan as he has told the club he won’t take a pay cut to leave, there is interest from clubs in taking him on loan and paying his wages in full, but no perm similar offer covering all his wages
Dowell - Similar to Hagi, multiple interested clubs, but none matching our fee and or his wages, this may also be a last min loan out
Dessers - Multiple offers, none matching our valuation €6mil not £4.7mil as being reported
Tav - Multiple offers, none matching both our valuation and his wages, and confirming again he has been told he can leave but only at the right price
Been told there is a new bonus structure set in place, comprehensive backing of the new sports science team and data, which is why we are yet to see Imagane, took time to see Cerny and why we are only seeing glimpses of Danilo
Regarding players in
As I’ve mentioned a few times, we are close on an experienced CDM and a younger midfielder
We have multiple options and talks ongoing for an international class (U21 or full) CB
And will replace Matondo if expected he seals his move away before the end of the week
Expect money to be spent, also been told not to be surprised if there is 1/ 2 big money spent on the right profile players in
Looking forward to a busy week.
1.) 26 Aug 2024 05:30:46
Excellent information SydneyGer??.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 05:31:01
The gaffer said the other day. Only people that was not in the weekends squad will be leaving this week.
3.) 26 Aug 2024 06:29:18
Great info mate i'm looking forward to the week ahead to see what transpires.
4.) 26 Aug 2024 06:53:00
Good stuff sydney.
5.) 26 Aug 2024 06:55:40
Yes paul unless one of our main players has an offer in for him that meets or even exceeds our valuation, so everyone effectively for sale at the correct price ?.
6.) 26 Aug 2024 07:07:09
Sydney u get anything on tav wants pay off to compensate losing out on testimonial, circa 600 k.
7.) 26 Aug 2024 07:32:30
Time will tell.
8.) 26 Aug 2024 07:58:14
great info Sydney it shows we have players dictating to club what they
want i get no one wants a pay cut
so that leaves us with players
we may have to play because we ate paying them anyway.
9.) 26 Aug 2024 07:59:31
Nothing really new there most if not all that info has already been posted on here. Problem we have is all these players have been given inflated salaries and nobody is prepared to match our madness.
10.) 26 Aug 2024 07:59:54
I think we'd be better off taking half that for Cantwell so we can get him out of the club. Having guys like that even just playing with the B team will not help us in the long run. Shame as he had ability, but the attitude stinks.
11.) 26 Aug 2024 08:20:17
Not that I am aware of @John, was just told the fee and wages was the big hurdle in getting him moved on.
12.) 26 Aug 2024 08:33:50
I believe we would accept 3. Million for cantwell.
13.) 26 Aug 2024 08:33:54
Decent info Sydney, you're usually pretty sound with your info so hope that all works out.
14.) 26 Aug 2024 08:48:34
John we're desperately trying to reduce wages then why would we increase wages of two players who've only just joined?
15.) 26 Aug 2024 08:49:23
I never want to see Cantwell in a Rangers Jersey again. Good post Sydney.
16.) 26 Aug 2024 09:18:37
That's the post I wanted to see this morning, brilliant Syd.
17.) 26 Aug 2024 09:31:00
Good post and if we get 6m euros for cantwell I'd be amazed, I think a cdm and a no10 are priority if Lawrence gets injured we've no1 to play that 10 role perhaps dio but no1 else. I'd be content going with the ch we have if it meant resources could be used elsewhere and maybe in jan we could look again.
18.) 26 Aug 2024 09:40:28
John think if we get offered 3m for Cantwell it would be better to take it, if we don't it will cost over 1m in wages, so better to cut our loses.
19.) 26 Aug 2024 09:58:14
Looks like Cantwell will go late for not a lot of money if any. The club have broadcast the problem and buyers ain't all daft. Same problem with Lowry and Hagi.
20.) 26 Aug 2024 10:44:53
Thanks for the info, Sydney. I was one that would have welcomed Cantwell back, however some of the reports coming through lately would now make that impossible imo. Just shows nobody knows the full story. If all the reports are true he really is a silly guy. No wonder he can't get the move he wants.
21.) 26 Aug 2024 10:50:57
Sydney Ger, nice journalism there.
My info I'd that nobody has actually placed a bid for Hagi. I'm told his agent was at it trying to drum up interest. They knew the situation with his wages and were informed that he could leave but there were no bids for him.
I heard Tavernier wants to leave, heard nothing regarding bids for him though.
Hearts had a loan offer for King knocked back in pre-season.
Unlikely King will leave now.
22.) 26 Aug 2024 11:04:55
We haven't done too badly this window in terms of players leaving, but more need to go. Hopefully we can see players like Dowell, Tav, Cantwell, Lawrence, Matondo and others go.
23.) 26 Aug 2024 11:10:26
Thanks Sydney, any information is always appreciated.
24.) 26 Aug 2024 11:34:23
Kaiser as both are on less than 10k, and we want to increase length of deal by a year with a years option
Smart business extra 2k a week each.
25.) 26 Aug 2024 11:45:24
Well done. not a SIMGLE one right. Cantwell will go out on loan and Clement said on Saturday that players leaving were not in the squad to face Ross County. Matondo was.
26.) 26 Aug 2024 12:18:25
Good info Sydney.
Players who are contracted to the club will not be dictating how things go and glad that tik tok superstar has been told he will be in the B team unless he doesn't want paid the wee weasel.
Also can people please stop saying that PC stated people who were in the matchday squad won't be leaving, he isn't going to come out and say yes they are away or getting sold. If that was the case and all matchday players weren't being sold then we'd be left with too much deadwood.
27.) 26 Aug 2024 12:28:58
Good info Sydney ?????????.
28.) 26 Aug 2024 12:46:18
Davies deal was confirmed yesterday, there is no way we will be holding out for that amount for Cantwell and is there that much difference between £4.7 million and 6 million euros for Dessers.
29.) 26 Aug 2024 13:18:39
Get reasonably close to the clubs valuation of any player in squad or not, they are under starters orders. and they're off . Only Butland has been implied by the manager he is 'probably' not for sale .
30.) 26 Aug 2024 13:38:19
Cantwell at the madam just get rid and let his next club put up with him.
31.) 26 Aug 2024 13:45:49
Yet PC made clear that those playing at weekend were staying.
32.) 26 Aug 2024 13:59:11
Have you heard of any interest in Andy Irving? Would be just what we need.
33.) 26 Aug 2024 15:21:59
PC might have said anyone playing would not leave but he also said everyone was for sale except Butland at the right price so if anybody thinks if we get a 3 million Bid for Matondo and get his huge wages off the books and we won't accept you are deluded.
34.) 26 Aug 2024 16:51:11
Polaberr yes that's what was said.
35.) 26 Aug 2024 16:52:04
Its going to be a helluva a busy week.
Great info Sydney. Thanks for sharing.
23 Aug 2024 11:49:16
@John u hearing anything about Joan Jordan, heard we are back in for him and that a deal may be close?
1.) 23 Aug 2024 15:40:16
I’m not alo To say Sydney, but ?.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 15:44:08
Sydney iv literally just heard the same thing from a mate who goes every week.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 15:45:42
Just like trabzonspor bid for tav 3 days ago?
4.) 23 Aug 2024 16:57:48
Interesting John is it your source has asked you keep this one to yourself or is it jealous posters have annoyed you?
5.) 23 Aug 2024 17:53:04
G4 posters I was told to go read Spanish papers re him, I’ve kept so much to myself this season.
6.) 23 Aug 2024 18:27:13
Do people still read papers?
7.) 23 Aug 2024 18:31:56
I’ve seen those posts towards you John and others and I don’t blame you one bit from holding back.
8.) 23 Aug 2024 18:40:08
Would be a very good signing.
9.) 23 Aug 2024 21:27:03
Jordan is going to Slaves so you can rule him out. Cheik Niasse is a name I've heard that we are serious about.
10.) 23 Aug 2024 21:41:27
If he turned us down before we should not be going hear him in my view.
11.) 24 Aug 2024 02:32:27
Jordan Would be a great signing imo hopefully we can still pull this one off.
12.) 24 Aug 2024 11:52:51
We need to bring in a midfielder with goals in him like Omri Gandelmann, supposed to be a 6. Cracking first season at Gent and still priced at £3.5mil. Use hagi to lower the price.

John it's a shame that some just can't take this page as rumours and not gospel. There is no certainty in anything anyone posts as deals can go bad at sny point. I actually saw one of your posts from here on a Facebook group lol. Find your information is more reliable than most.

Great article by Scott McDermott in the record today
Could not agree more, what we are doing now should have happened in 2012
Well done PC and Kloppen, let's get behind these guys.

With the window almost closed, and a few players linked coming in
Sasa Zdjelar
Amadou Diawara
Gyrano Kerk
Bobby Clark
And a few players linked maybe leaving
Hagi
Yilmaz
Lawrence
IMO Lawrence will be the only player to leave, and hope to see Kerk And Diawarra come in before the window closes
What's everyone else's thoughts on ins and outs over the next few days?
Either way, moving out so many players draining a high salary and not playing has been a good window for us IMO.

Looking at the Europa league squad list, then considering the 3 changes we can make to that squad
My changes would be
Kasanwirjo - Fernandez
Lawrence - Danilo
Dowell - a new CDM
Looking at the balance of that squad, I don't see us letting Yilmaz move during this window, and feel like in the summer we are working on getting in a really good experienced CDM before the window closes to take one of those 3 new spaces in the squad
No place for Hagi as we are well covered in that area (no 10)
With those changes in mind, I feel players outwidth players that have already moved on this window would be King, Devine and Lawrence.

Looking at the current squad and the rumours around outgoing players either this window or next
Dessers, Lawrence, Dowell, Matondo, Lowry, King, Devine and maybe Yilmaz
This would take £7mil a year of the wage bill
Bring in 4/ 5 quality young players and we reduce our wage bill by a further $2mil per year
I feel with 4/ 5 real quality players in the door with all those players leaving and we then have a very very competitive team again
I may be beating the Clement, Koppen drum, but when u start to look closer at the long term plan, it looks like we are moving the right direction again.

Hopefully the Yilmaz example highlights to anyone that is in any doubt, we do not need to sell if we don't have to, Yilmaz will be a key player in the final stages of all remaining competitions
We could have easily cashed him in now but chose not to
To get in someone capable of filling his boots during this window would have been tough
Can see this move being concluded in the summer where we will have identified a suitable replacement who will be a younger player with potential for development
In my eyes, this window has set us up well to recalibrate the squad in the summer window
Where I believe we will see a true PC side taking shape
If u asked me at the start of the window, if I would be happy with shipping out soo much dead wood draining a wage and getting in a CB, I would definitely have been happy at that.

He's on £5k per week, would be a decent transfer fee to get him on a permanent basis but his lower weekly wage would make any transfer fee easier
May be an initial loan with option or obligation to buy around the £3mil mark
This guy looks the part and at 22, he won't lack playing experience.

Great info EHL
Would love to see both Kerk and Diawarra come in, a midfield 3 of Diawarra/ Raskin/ Dio would take a bit of beating IMO
Kerk is a really quick/ strong/ skillful RW who can play along the front 3
Both out of contract in the summer, Diawarra on £22k per week and Kerk on £13k per week
Both players very very experienced, if this is the type of players we can look forward to seeing next season, then IMO we will be very very competitive vs any team
Think we can all now start to see good foundations, these type of players really start to build out a really good team and squad.

Would like to see the Bobby Clark one come off as well, FYI Stevie G, he is on just under £200k per year at RB Salzburg £3.5k per week
Well within our wage structure, RB Salzburg are a very well run club.
29 Jan 2025 22:07:42
@Deboer @GMS Cerny is on £25k per week
We will still have marquee players on the books moving forward, just not as many.
