I assume they maybe front loading some of the existing players for next year?
That's some big front loading , what you going to do , give Moses another 500k ?
Yeah that too. Maybe we need to start looking for players to loan. Imagine winning a comp with a handfull of players that aren't even ours 😂
Maybe that's how we get the Sandon Smiths , loan arrangements so they don't actually have to stay with us.
Handing out phone chargers Wiz, phone chargers...
Haha
We can forward load contracts so that we spend enough of the mandatory amount. Moses can get $2M next year as an example.
Considering how quick he signed his last upgrade , he's probably already on 2mil ..... 😜
I get what you're saying as it's our option , and we may have to . But from a club planning perspective , unless we have locked in some seriously big signings for 2027 , what is the point of front loading players other than just burning a season and creating huge imbalances for the coming years ? It can create a speed bump of salaries and a need to shed players once all catches up. Not great for a club to go into another season lean on talent and hoping to be able to spend a huge warchest to create a very short premiership window the following season.
Id say it's a massive fail if we see ourselves down this path.
