Cant see Fifita being cheap tho. He is contracted isnt he at Wakey isnt he? Yes we need a full and competitive squad and we will have but i think asking GH for a transfer fee might be a job for a braver man than we have right now.

Whilst I seriously doubt that it would be Fifita, who says it would need a transfer fee? What if he’s on the highest wage there and they just want to shed the cost? Similar to us wanting to shed the cost for Sutcliffe (I know he’s not a highest earner), and therefore we are willing to forego a few?

FWIW I don’t think Fifita is the type to walk from Wakey, he seems pretty committed to the team and club.

Are contracts still valid with players been forced to take pay cuts?

I would think so with the players agreeing to the reduction.

I don't see how we can cut player wages and then spend big on signing another player. Surely, that would affect the morale in the squad.

If Ward, Cuthbertson and Myler leave as expected we could sign a player or 2 and have a lower wage bill than this year. I think the players would accept that personally.

Fifita could be the one then..

Interesting words form Agar in YEP about Sutcliffe. Apparently he wanted to leave in pre season then he seemed to backtrack and now he’s wanting a move again. Agar wants to keep him ideally but willing to let him go

You’ve gotta think it’s experienced players who are confident of finding other clubs that have rejected the pay cuts.
