Perhaps you've not heard of players having their wages cut in that circumstance.

Much better idea than a player you've spent £8 million on in January leaving for free in June.


I think that its pretty obvious he wouldn't accept an offer like that, i wouldn't either.

I can't imagine Newcastle United not having that in contracts either or the majority of other Premier League clubs who couldn't afford to go down and still be paying Premier League wages.

As long as they don't get relegated I think Southampton could be a wise career move for Forren. He will (probably) get to play on a regular basis and if he proves himself as a decent centre back in the Premier League, bigger clubs can well be in for him in a year or two. Experience and first team football is alpha omega for him now.

A Premier League centre back duo of Hangeland and Forren for Norway sounds good too. They have already established a promising partnership and with Forren's Southampton transfer going through I only think it's going to get better.

Apparently he turned down a big offer from Zenit, as the only option for him was Premier League. Several other European sides were interested as well.

I read something that said Hangeland might leave Fulham for free during the summer.

Is that true?

He is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to sign a new deal, so yeah that could very well be the case.

Tbh he should just stay at Fulham, it's not like he is gonna end up at a bigger club I think. Not in Premier League anyway. As jumberto said he's not as good as he was a couple of seasons ago.

Remy would have to take an 80% cut or something in the summer anyway, to be on a Championship level wage.

Most clubs do have relegation wage clauses, but most players aren't signing purely for financial reasons while relegation remains a probability.

In the Fulham games I've seen this summer he hasn't been as good as he was.

Remy is clearly signing for financial reasons though as Newcastle are a bigger club with a better squad, a better manager and are playing in the Europa League. All he has to look forward to at QPR is a big fucking mess that will most likely end in relegation.

Motherfucker don't care cause he getting paid, plus he has the perfect excuse if he's a flop, "the team were already in trouble when i joined"

He's joining a club bottom of the league at the halfway stage, not at the start when anything can happen. He wants his assurances he won't be playing in a lower division next season. Its a gamble on QPR's part that this player will help fire them to safety come May, where they can once again and certainly with a little more common sense plan and build a side (with Remy) that is more than capable of staying in the Prem. If they go down, the gamble may have failed but at least they have saved themselves a extra £4m or so on the wage budget.

Well yeah, he's basically got a three month trial to show how good he is.

If QPR stay up, he continues to make sill money.

If QPR go down and he plays well, he could potentially be looking at a free transfer move to a big club, with an increased signing on fee, and good wages as he's now a proven Premier League player.

If QPR go down and he does not play well, ah well he'll still be taken on somewhere, on a free. West Ham or Sunderland would still pay him well.

He's been out of form for a while so it's a massive risk spending the £8-10m fee, let alone £100k in wages. I'd rather us bring in Aubamayeng or De Jong.

Liverpool have agreed to meet with Ajax 23 year old attacking midfielder Siem De Jong later this week for contract talks, according to Ajax chairman Hennie Henrichs in a interview with Dutch paper Telesport.

De Jongs transfer fee is about £10m, but Ajax are willing for a cut down to £3,5m if Assaidi is a part of the deal.

Reportedly making an offer of £6m for Zaha, I'd be happy with him for that price, but never gonna happen that cheaply.

I hope to god QPR get relegated.

This.

Would genuinely be filled with joy if this happened.

In other news Lucas Piazon has apparently joined Malaga on loan for the rest of the season. Which there has been talk that it could be part of a deal for Malaga's Isco, who Chelsea are apparently interested in. How true the second part of that is, is still to be seen.

Do people really think QPR would spend 8 million on Remy and give him a free transfer release clause in his contract?

QPR might not be the best with money but they're not that stupid.

He'll have a relegation release clause, but it will be something like 4/5 million.

He's got a £17.5m release clause, so there's no real need to try and win Malaga over with loans.
