Re: Rocky to Real Betis

Good luck to him. I hope he does well and earns a move away at the end of the season. He seems a good guy who has been desperately unlucky with injuries.

Same. After reading the Paul Lake biography I just don't have it in me to get on players about injuries.

Re: Rocky to Real Betis

Not sure what you mean by "earns a move away from the club"?

There are probably 50 clubs across the world who would have him permanently right now if he'd take a paycut, the only reason no one will buy him is because he won't accept a drop in wages... same reason as Bridge and others. Hence the endless loans till his contract runs out (which is still a way off if he signed a 5-year deal in 2009).

Not sure this is strictly true. I'm sure I saw that he has taken a pay cut to go to Betis. City are making up a shortfall but it's much less than would have been the case if RSC had not been flexible. Fair play to the guy.

The club should just take the financial hit and just buy them out of their contracts. Cost less than them leeching wages off us for doing fuck all.

It will cost us the same wether we buy out their contracts or wait for them to expire, think about it, to buy them out of their contracts then we would have to pay them all the money we wouldve paid them in one hit, so it works out cheaper to load them and pay a slice of their wage untill the contract expires, if we can't sell them obviously...

Plus, in the grand scheme of things, it's not like us paying half of Crockys wages for a year is going to effect us, if were even paying that much in the first place...
