BrogueYorkshireRoyal99blythspartan I wonder if Ejaria can light up League One or if he’ll be as useless as ever. I am guessing that he must be our highest paid player now.
I am prepared to give him a chance this season but he needs to bring his A game. Not sure if the club will try to cash in while he still has a year left on his contract.
Given our situation, I think we should probably look to move him on, unless Selles really, really wants to keep him. On high wages and is probably one of only a couple of players who might be able to bring in a half decent fee.
Could certainly be a good player, I just can't see how it will be here without a serious shake up in attitude.
yeah looking at the interweb that lists player salaries, and i know it should be taken with a pinch of salt, but most seem to have Ejaria in the 14k p/w ballpark. Which tbf is probably about right. The next highest-paid players that we have left are Tmac Yiadom and Carroll - all on 3.5k pw.
As I say, it can be taken with a pinch of salt, but it does give us ballpark figures and goes to show how disproportionate Ejarias' wages are compared to the rest of the squad now, and it's not a sustainable wage in league 1.
I think our wage bill is pretty compliant with league one now tbh. We can spent £6-7m on the squad on wages this season and we have a total of 7 first teamers and about 8 young players who's wages probably total £2m max. We have headroom to sign 12-14 players with an average wage of £4k a week.
