Danial Candias is far better than almost all the dross in the SPL. Just look at the prices they pay for inferior quality to him.
£250,000 for Candias is shocking IMO.
If they are going to say "costs associated with Aribo" are 2m, why don't they include salary in the 250k mention of Candeias fee?
Point takenGives me a bit of confidence that although the SD debacle could be a waste of money. It is not a hindrance or worry.
£250,000 for Candias is shocking IMO.
I have no idea about this particular deal.So you're suggesting we paid 1.7m in fees, over and above the developmental fee?
Bullshit.
That may be true, but he is never injured, gives 100%, fully fit and is team focused. At 31 he is still in his prime.
Not to sound pedantic, he is only 31 and never injured and always available for selection.32 year old who's in the last year of his contract.
We won't get much more mate.
Agree. Robertson needs to be a lot more selective about the newspapers he speaks to.
I am not disputing that Mate. I am just saying if the £250,00 is the correct figure, then we have sold him on the cheap.We obviously decided a while ago we were not going to offer him a new contract. Ruthless but correct. This move will have been in the pipeline a while.
Maybe waiting to see what will happen with Morelos? If he goes then the money will likely be used for a replacement.
I don't see us spending big on a player as things stand right now.
Who's to say he was speaking to any newspapers? They could have just picked up his quotes and made a story from it.

That seems to be the norm for us selling players of late.
Torres retired.I've wondered that instead of a fee in the 2-3m range to a club that we wouldn't offer that money to a free agent to come as part of their wages on a 2 year deal.
Maybe a striker who currently is without a club that played with the gaffer?
Announce Fernando!Torres retired.
Sturridge is banned with the FA appealing that the ban isn’t long enough.I've wondered that instead of a fee in the 2-3m range to a club that we wouldn't offer that money to a free agent to come as part of their wages on a 2 year deal.

It's more than that.£250,000 for Candias is shocking IMO.
Not anymore!Not to sound pedantic, he is only 31 and never injured and always available for selection.
Don't quote me on this but I think Gerrard has a secret weapon up his sleeve to pull out yet.
£2m for Aribo aye? Thought it was just a development fee?
Dev fee, sign on bonus, Agent Fees, housing him. That’s how we beat off other Clubs.
It was widely being discussed yesterday it was £250,000 at our EveryoneAnyone press conference, so most likely club have given nod on that
That’s the fee I have been told we received
As for money available and someone else to come in, I tweeted out on blog Helander done 2 more to go, if you consider Kent being one then today’s story makes sense in line with what I was told
Hopefully it’s a wee surprise for everyone
Ah, so they're adding everything in to that. That's fair enough. Would that be the case with Helander then?
.What's a secret weapon?
And if he was from the Tim's you could guarantee an extra 0 would be added to the 250000.from the mhedia.They are guessing at that figure
He was a squad player on the wrong side of 30 who was surplus to requirements at Ibrox.Indeed. It's all very reminiscent of Martin Bain's complete ineptitude when it comes to outgoings.
Pish journalism, Jason Holt joined QPR.
Yeah absolutely that is why you need to watch for the difference in the wording “transfer fee” and “deal worth”.
So you're suggesting we paid 1.7m in fees, over and above the developmental fee?
Bullshit.
His dog should be available for the first couple of weeks though.Sturridge is banned with the FA appealing that the ban isn’t long enough.
Is he, my mistake.No he hasn’t. He’s still our player
We sell a 31 yo European journeyman, 1 year left,FF goes to tonto. We've sold too cheaply. Fee €300kIndeed. It's all very reminiscent of Martin Bain's complete ineptitude when it comes to outgoings.
