I must be missing something here, there is no way that Chelsea will pay Sidwell for another year when he goes, they will almost certainly make up the difference is wages for a year but no more.

If this gem is correct then we must have been paying Halford for last season???? And this coming season as he was on a 3 year deal here, and presumably Sunderland will also keep paying him if he goes to Charlton, he must be raking it in.

[Stranded]

Would depend on his wages there and here...if Halford is currently earning the same or more at Sunderland than he was here then we won't be paying anything. If he's earning less, we'll have paid up or be paying the difference.

Leeds had to cover wages for a number of players they moved on due to them earning less elsewhere and not having asked for a move - this one of the things that screwed them over.

???? The reason that Chelsea are 'offering' (as part of the deal) to cover the gap in Sidwell's wages is because he has a contract and they have sold him 'without his request'. IF Halford went to Sunderland on a deal that saw his salary drop in comparison with what we were paying then maybe he did get a bit of a payback from here - but I suspect that Sunderland matched what we were paying. Also, he was obviously keen to leave here and so he probably took whatever was goinmg just to get out quickly? Now that he has gone to Charlton it is Sunderland's problem to resolve any contractual issues with them.

Simple case really

In Halford's case, we informed clubs that if they made an offer we would listen. Suderland made an offer, RFC informed Halford, and Halford accepted.

In Sidewell's case, Sidwell has been informed he is surplus to requirements, Chelse have put Sidwell up for sale, against his 'will'. Therefore compensation is required.

It's pretty depressing really that the main discussion thread on this site is this non-rumour or rather out-of-date non-rumour on Sidwell .... can't someone recycle a Matty Upson or Robbie Fowler rumour?

It's true, though. August 2nd!

While I'm at it I'll get a Danny Cullip thread going because "he lives in Bracknell"

Halford's case was even different to hat - didn;t Sunderland simply come in and ask if he was for sale ? We didn;t offer him to anyone. We could therefore stipulate as part of the deal that Sunderland agreed personal terms with him that included a wage that removed any commitment for us to pay him anything.

If so, even better. I was just covering my bases.

Sidders isnt in the Villa squad again. They have got Salifou (?) on the bench ahead of him, who's a youngster.

This suggests hes seriously out of favour.

Maybe SC could make a cheeky enquiry?

Simple answer as to why hes not in the squad is that he is just returning from injury

Is it me or are a large proportion of those who've joined HNA since 2005 retarded?


Edit: wow, he's been on here since 2004. I guess a large proportion has always been retarded.

When I first started going int he South Bank in the early 80's the majority were retarded then.
