Whosthedado 1,519 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 2M is'a snip' but I can't see us being able to match wage demands. Surely we would have sounded this out before making the bid though - no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We can't - hence we hope he will accept a cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,519 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm not holding my breath. Going by some reports CC is allegedly on �£40,000 a week. We can't get remotely close to that nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We'd probably offer him �£25k and hope his desire to rejoin is burning enough that the wage loss doesn't kill him. It's been mentioned that he never won the SPL while here. Perhaps he considers that unfinished business. After all, he will never win anything at Villa.

Whosthedado 1,519 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I hear what your saying Danny but I think we have found out with other targets this summer that trophies mean little compared to money for most footballers nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I hear what your saying Danny but I think we have found out with other targets this summer that trophies mean little compared to money for most footballers nowadays Surely he knew that we're not rich before he stated how incredibly keen he was to return. And he'll know his wage here was obviously lower than his current. And yet he still wants to come back. Either he's not too bright or he's willing to take less. Or I'm just being really naive.

Danny 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Interesting stat I have just been told. Don't know how true this is as I'm no accountant, but... Cuellar is currently on �£40k - the tax on high earners takes that down to 20k actual income. If he's offered �£25k at Ibrox, the same tax means he goes down to 12.5k. Which means a drop of 7.5k rather than the vast loss I originally thought. He might actually come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press paint us a false picture of these things all the time. They take some quotes from a player or his agent and paint a picture that isn't really true or accurate. That's how they work. Sensationalizing - Verb: (esp. of a newspaper) Present information about (something) in a way that provokes public interest and excitement, at the expense of accuracy.

That's assuming that Cuellar is actually on that much money at Villa and that he's actually paying the full 50% tax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
