Brilliant info, AK, so spend not that huge so far, plus big saving on wages. 🇬🇧

Shankland on 25k? As much as I like him. There's no way I'd have paid him that much.
Interesting read.

Shankland?
05 Aug 2026 18:12:44
Excellent AK7.

All estimates for the wages. We got Shankland on a free, so his signing on fee, an improved weekly salary and captain talk would push him above £20,000.
If anyone has specifics, let me know.

Plus his signing on fee will be paid over the duration of his contract (if he got one). That would push his wage up.
Either way, he's not waiting on his wages going in on a Thu morning.
