Yes I appreciate that. I was just amused at the term only, hence the lol. Never mind.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Bridge is quality. Ward is good too though.. cant complain.

Correct. I think, with a bit of imagination, we could have held on to him.

Got the impression he was pissed about the Poyet turnout

Believe Wolves were reported as paying Kevin Doyle £30k+ per week.

Afraid not.
Ward is on a minimum of £25k per week. Guess we are paying £10k of it like we did with bridge.
Signed new contract when was playing best football of his career in prem.
That's balls. A mate of mine had some financial dealings with him a couple of years back when he was hot property in the prem, apparently he was priced out of a move to both Newcastle and Everton by his agent who demanded £20k a week for him. Probably on between £10-15k per week.

He paid for a box at the Amex last season when playing for us. Something like 18k for a seasons rental is going to be nothing to a player that has earned as much as Bridge has over his career, I doubt Reading are letting him have it for free.
It's been reported (elsewhere on here) that Bridge is earning 24k a week at Reading, he was prepared to stay with us for less. The whole Poyet situation meant he couldn't wait it out and find out if our new management team wanted him as that offer might not have been on the table by then (although I firmly believe Oscar would have wanted him, Bridge wouldn't have been without other offers as he showed last season he is more than capable of playing at this level).

Bridge was class.
Really? So Madrid would be 2.5M+ a month worse off if Bale and Ronaldo weren't there?
Why is the club in so much debt then?
Because their bankers allow them to borrow.

My stepson used to work for a building society (I'm not going to name them) dealing with mortgage applications.
A well known Premiership footballer (not an international, but everyone on this board will have heard of him) applied for a mortgage and my stepson was very surprised my how low his wages were.
Not low by yours or my standards of course, but much lower than 'reported' wages of premiership footballers.
Never quote a press report as an impeccable source, anyone who doesn't believe the press make up stories is deluded.

Totally agree.
He was the reason Reading came back into the game second half.
I'm quite impressed with Ward, something I didn't expect to say when I heard he had signed, so he's won me over ....... but he's no Wayne Bridge.
All fine until the bank have none to lend or, god forbid, they ever expect any sort of substantial repayment
Edit: Just seen their results ... ignore above, misinformed!!

He might have been but our classy defensive work (and a few poor touches from him) nullified any threat on our goal.
