Quoted from Mariner_09


On paper, he's the exact striker we are crying out for. Taylor but younger, fitter, more mobile and more of a goal threat. Then the issue is everyone, and I mean everyone will be in for him. Maybe location can work in our favour here? But if we offer say 1.5k a week and Salford offer 4k, location becomes irrelevant.

Regarding Pollock, doesn't he also play the sort of McAtee role, ie not a natural striker? Hursty clearly thinking long term with both of these.


I had heard it was more likely to be a loan - I can see that as he is contracted I think with us until Summer 2023  - I would imagine he is on 3.5k a week with us, Captain and used to be a regular starter - I would imagine we may pay some of that depending on what we need to do in terms of freeing up wages. I really like him, you can never say definitely but I personally think he would tear it up at L2 and push you right up the table.

We've been saying for months, if we're a honest, that a top striker of that ilk will turn us from mid table also runs to a serious side. Maybe a loan with a view to a permanent when his contract ends in the summer. 3.5k may have to drop to 2.5k or something, naturally you'll be earning less.

Does anyone know what our top earners are on?

Wasn't their a thread some months ago that suggested McKeown and Hansen were on £3k per week.

According to this site Morris, Hunt and Glennon are on £2.5k per week with loan players on more.

If that's right then paying a top striker 3.5k isn't "breaking the wage structure", strikers tend to earn more anyway.

I'd imagine Waterfall's a decent earner as well, maybe Holohan as well.

Does anyone really think a website that lists the personal salary of every player from Man City to Thailand’s Muangthong Utd, as well as people playing in every sport from American Football to Tennis (over 50,000 individual salaries, according to them), can be given any credence? You’d be better off looking for salaries in tea leaves.

And give him a 2.5 year contract, he's a promotion challenging type player.

Just pointing out that I mentioned Scott Pollock on 25th October in a different thread, so unless anyone else can find earlier evidence then I'm having at least some share of that one.
