Midfielder Goran Lovre has today left Oakwell by mutual consent. Read More from the official site... NOTE: The number of page impressions the club get on the official site also improves the ammount of money going into the club coffers. We all know we need every penny we get our hands on so if you'd got out of the habit of visiting the club site then could I suggest you visit it more frequently? The club are aware of the short comings of the site and plans are in place to rectify these.
Shame we've had to pay off yet another player. We've done that quite a few times in the past few years.
Anyone wanting a nice expensive....... Penthouse flat - Get ya sens into tarn - I have a feeling one will be coming up for grabs!! Good look Goran - Good on the ball and could see a pass in my opinion but was painfully slow. Really stopped him being any kind of first team regular.
I would imagine the pay off was less than it would have cost us in wages to see his contract out. He gets some cash and can find a new club and we stop paying the wages of a player who has no place in KH's plans. Hopefully he hac use the money to strengthen the squad in Jan.
I remember seeing on here when he signed an article from his homeland saying he would be on 150k a year. There is 30 weeks between now and end of June when his contract would have run out. So he would have got 90k for not playing for us. I wonder what percentage of that is his pay off. Don't you have to pay people for another month after their contracts run out if they haven't found another club too? So that would take it to over 100k.
The settlement may have been negotiated recently. He may have wanted to leave so took a reduced amount so as to be available in the transfer window to sign for somebody else as a free agent. Point is nobody knows so not much point in speculating. I very much doubt that he will have received more than his contract was worth though as what would be the point in releasing him?
Three points... . 1 - There are numpties on twitter and facebook (I could end the sentence now..) that claim he was on £10,000 per week! Loonies 2 - There was more to it than just a lack of pace, otherwise, why is Addison ere? 3 - There is a current Reds striker already in the Plaza Penthouse.. and I shall share a story on that soon
