Richey Edwards Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I have already previously praised Ashford for his APPLICATION and VERSATILITY and WIDE RANGE OF MOTION. I have seen nothing to change this opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just about broke even as a result. Depending on how Dipo's transfer fee is structured, the club may have not seen a penny yet. Also, not much of a wage is still a wage. It would be illegal to pay them less than about £300 a week. Thats one season ticket plus pension contributions, plus a load of training kit, feeding them during the day, insurance etc. (Putting my old quantity surveying hat back on) Typical rule of thumb for an employee is they cost around 1.5-1.8x their salary depending on what package your business offers. I'd expect insurance for footballers to be alot higher than someone working in a clerical job, so wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 1.8x for footballers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that though he's not bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the feeling this is going to rage on for weeks now, with us all knowing the likely outcome. If Dundee United are not playing ball, just walk away from it and move on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dundee Utd are wary of letting him go to someone in the same league. If they’re trying to make it hard for us to get him then I’d just leave it and try for someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was down south last season, with a manager who knew him and he didn’t do well. A move to a club like Ayr and a decent run in a team would be the best option for him to move upwards. Hes been at Dundee United for a for years and never had a breakthrough season. They are talking about loaning him out again so obviously don’t consider him an asset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd prefer to sell him though and there's no doubt an English League club are more likely to get closer to what both the club and Chalmers himself are looking for to make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 As much as we keep saying it’s not a priority position, we still don’t have anyone capable of playing centrally in behind the striker and I’m assuming Chalmers signing would provide that either directly or indirectly with one of the current wide players moving in one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we signed Chalmers we could potentially end up with a footballing final 3rd of Chalmers, Murphy, McGeady, Rose and Amartey which would probably be as close to the fast passing style of Moff and co as we could get, however if Bullen doesn't want us playing that way then we'd be as well forgetting about Chalmers and trying to sign a target man up top who could hold the ball up and bring others in to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly can’t count very well as we beat Albion Rovers in the cup last week. You’ll find 1+1= 2.
