How much are we asking?!?

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Not very much, think it was just a few hundred thousand?

Surprised Leeds can't afford him.

 

[PeteWolf]

"We can't afford him" or "We've seen him play"?

 

[Jamesjh89]

"We can't afford him" or "We've seen him play"?

Leeds seemed to love him and enjoyed how he played. Was always a frequent starter when ive checked.

 

[WV10Wolf]

His contract is up in 6 months so why would they waste good money? I doubt Keogh is the kind of player that will make or break their season.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

There was one comment at the bottom of the report by a Leeds fan.

'I am outraged! If we can't even afford an average striker from Wolves then we will remain in the championship for the foreseeable future.'

 

[WolvesAreBoringOnCeefax]

They're hardly going to agree to pay the asking price immediately are they. Got a month to get the price down, or look for another loan

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Report says Keogh will arrive back at Molineux on Jan 2.

What about Mick playing him up front with Fletch in the Cup at Birmingham.

To give him one more chance to see what he can do playing alongside a goal scorer.

I'll get my coat....

Id prefer him upfront on his own, fits the lone strike role perfect with a great eye for goal, strength and speed.

Get my coat to will ya

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Griffiths goes, Keogh comes back - life is just a balance!

If I was the attendant, I'd be throwing those coats at you.

I'd be interested to know how much we're asking, particularly as we were quoting £2.5 million for him in the summer of 2010. Seems our over the top valuations will mean we'll eventually get a fraction of that.

I'm not sure how much he earns a week - a conservative guess about £5 k?

So working on those figures, he'll earn (between now and the end of his contract in August) at least £160,000 in wages.

We must be asking for a figure well in excess of that, otherwise we'd just give him a free. I can't see anyone paying any more than £400,000 for him. I'd be tempted to accept anything that got us close to half a million in a fee and saved wages.

 

[Paul76]

Just let him go for free ffs.

 

[NOKASPLACE]

It's all bargaining tactics. He will move in Jan

 

[arctic rime]

Hasnt he been predominately a sub ?

 

[bridgnorthwolf]

Hasnt he been predominately a sub ?

No, started almost every game.

 

[leedswolf]

18 starts and 5 sub appearances, so no.

lufc could afford him, but Bates won't 'splash the cash' according to my information.

 

[PeteWolf]

Unless his contract has changed then he's on 20k per week.

When he went to Cardiff on loan and everyone was going on about how they'd built a side full of loan players they stated they were paying 50% of his wages at 10k per week.

Bloody hell! So he will actually earn closer to £640,000.

When fringe players earn that kind of money, it really makes you realise just how crazy the world has gone.

 

[Tettenhall Wolf]

£20k a week. For Keogh? Surely not. Someone needs shooting if that's right!

Penny pinching here and £20k pw for Keogh there. Crazy!

[306NOTOUT]

And people said I was talking $$$$ with Kightly being on £20k

Sounds about right to me to be honest.

Bearing in mind some of the wages Pompey and West Ham were paying out when their figures for individual players were revealed it's still pretty low by Premier League standards.

Wolves' wage bill for 2009/10 was 29.8m, which works out divided by 25 and again 52 to be £22,923 per week per player. A rough calculation, but even upped to divided for 35 players divided by 52 works out at £16,374 on average.

Now take into account that that was the first season in the PL, and the club have openly admitted contracts have been re-negotiated (increased) since then, and Keogh has probably worked himself a decent contract after promotion and his early performances that season then it sounds about right for someone who would be above others in the squads seniority ranks (even if not on the field).

 

[Jonny De Wolf]

Leeds will only sign players that do not involve an initial fee ie loanees or free signings.

 

[TheRetroChief]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Worst. News. Ever.

Just when i finally thought we were shot of that waste of a squad place:flybye:


Lord, why hath you forsaken me? :hmpf:

 

[jackdusty]

Can already see the E&S headline now "having Andy back is like a new signing"Moxey 02/01/12.

 

[arctic rime]

No, started almost every game.

recently

 

[leedswolf]

If after his first 6 games is defined as 'recently'.

 

[Wolves in Limerick]

Good summary there Pete. As for Andy coming back to us, I wouldn't expect Ken Bates to do anything other than play hardball. He knows the lad wants to be there. He knows he is out of contract at the end of the season. All he has to do now is to wait and see if another Championship club comes in for him. Hopefully one will and gazump old Kenny. If not, well the lad has given us good service and probably will go out on loan for the final period of his time with us.

 

[arctic rime]

5 of his last 6 have been as sub , relatively recent i guess.

 

[Timberwolf]

And people said I was talking $$$$ with Kightly being on £20k

I don't think they did. A poster stated that in the first team, there were players on 40k per week.

 

[leedswolf]

Still not predominately for his loan period though is it

 

[arctic rime]

maybe theyve seen the light

 

[leedswolf]

Maybe because Michael Brown is back in favour?

That's the wage bill for the all the employees of "the company" though isn't it? Everyone from the car park attendant to Kevin Doyle, from the youth team bus driver to Jez.

This point is often lost when people look at the wage bills of clubs, obviously the playing staff's salaries must account for a whopping % of the overall wage bill, but it's also covering everyone employed by the club. In the year you quote, Wolves employed 241 people - of which over 77% were non-playing staff. Even within those covered by "playing staff" you are including all the income of academy players too.

Amazing really to think a football club employs 241 people to support 38 games a year and only 19 at Molineux?!

 

[Wolves in Limerick]

Do the math NNW, the figure must invariably also include Academy games at all age groups and reserves.

 

[Tarcisio Mifsud]

There will be other championship teams asking for him.

 

[SOUTHBANK_BULLY]

id just cancel his contract , he'll be going for free in the
summer anyway

 

[Barnet Wolves]

Better than Vokes, he's a poor man's Doyle.....
