Report: Rio Ferdinand at a reported £80K per week?

When Redknapp leaves.

Aside from one freak season reaping the benefits of Tony Carr's work, Redknapp's 32 year old managerial career has been built on the foundation of buying in experienced pro's. To be fair, it's worked.

He's not going to change now

Nothing wrong with buying experience pros though is there?.....Experience doesn't have to add up to 30+ players.
Off the top of my head i can remember Arry buying
Paul Kitson & John Hartson and getting the hammers out of trouble ...both of them weren't 30+
at Spurs he bought Walker, Naughton, Modric, Defoe, Kracjar, Bassong
at QPR he has signed Austin, Phillips Simpson...etc
Let's not get stuck down the road of slagging off our manager....again,.. over a story (which is all it is) in a newspaper

[rockandroll]

nooo thanx! never the same mistake .. just keep what we have and add some 3 or 4 young players from lower divisions with acceptable price.

[Johnny Tightlips]

When are we going to start building a team rather than stop gaps.

Please, no. Have we learnt nothing. The guy is past it and has serious long term injury problems. I wouldn't take him on even half that salary.

I just dont want to see us go downn this route again, Rio prob could do a job for a year tops but i want to see a team built,. Dont want to get to next year agin and think we need to sign another 4 or 5 players every transfer window.
This signing would show we havent learnt our lessons.

[W12_Ranger]

He has gone and is at the knackers yard.

[irememberlesley]

He's too young for us. I heard Harry has just returned from a scouting mission in Normandy.

[Connell10]

not for me to old, no motivation , to much money! if we sign players of this ilk the only way is down and we would deserve it!

[QPR Richard]

I don't believe it. Surely we would never pay 80k to a 35 yr old after what happened last time we was in the prem?

36 in November. Lampard is 36 this month, yet some people want us to sign both. I don't want either of them. Their best days are well behind them. We need to keep one eye on the future instead of signing has-beens. We've done this too often.

Answer to your question..... now. (Well as of the next transfer window)

[QPR Richard]

So if he has altered his game rich then can he still not perform?...

I also don't think we should be paying high wages for someone who's played for a big club, an ex-international, with a bad back, who's in their mid-thirties. I don't think the motivation will be there.

I'm sure there's plenty of younger CBs around who can be part of the club for a long time to come.

[UpperP]

don't think players will get paid less if you don't renew.....

Yeah that's the right attitude, let's just pay them whatever. Maybe your loaded & probably have a platinum/c club season tkt but we're not all as well off as you seem to be. Out of interest where is your season ticket as I can only afford bronze?

[twranger]

Well some of it will be mine which I do care about as struggling to afford season ticket renewal.

[UpperP]

as long any player can perform, don't care what he's paid.......not my money that's paying him!!!
