... aaaaaaaand, regarding Mr N'Gog ; - http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wa ... _/?ref=mac" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
22 weeks approx. x £40k = £880,000
At his activity rate of 42 active minutes that's £349 per second
or almost £21,000 per minute
or slightly over a £1.25m per hour rate.
Way to go.
That Feb-June contract @£40k pw, let alone any sign-on fees.DAVID Ngog has been released by Swansea City after playing just 42 minutes – or 2,520 seconds – of Premier League football. The French striker had his contract picked up by the Welsh club in January – taking £40,000-a-week off Wanderers’ wage bill and clearing the way for three new signings.

I said at the time that Laudrup did it to piss off his successor, he was already on the way out I think. 'Do something with that Monk you treacherous bastard!'

I'd happily run around a pitch, not score any goals and then warm the bench for that sort of money.bobo the clown wrote:... aaaaaaaand, regarding Mr N'Gog ; - http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wa ... _/?ref=mac" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

it's not though, really..LeverEnd wrote:Haha! You know what I mean.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Ow, my head...LeverEnd wrote:Top scorer or not, his goal record for us is below average
other than Anelka and Sturridge I am struggling to think of any striker we have had in recent times who has had a much better strike-rate than Beckford...
Beckford has scored a goal every 4.7 games
Klasnic scored a goal every 4.1 games - so was marginally better...
other than that - who??
I might have missed someone - but if I haven't, then he he probably has our 4th highest strike-rate since McGinlay... that's not below average for Bolton strikers - it's well above average!
edit - I suppose Juke's must be higher... but over far fewer games... so - if we count him - then 5th!
edit - aye - juke has a goal every 2.8 games - which is pretty phenomenal for a Bolton striker...
then there's Mason - across two spells - 6 in 16 - one every 2.6 games - so, better than Juke
but just taking his second spell - a goal every 1.6 games - utterly phenomenal - better than anelka!
arse! so beckford is 6th best strike rate since McGinlay - still not bad!
sturridge
Mason
Anelka
Juke
Klasnic
Beckford
did i miss anyone?

Re: Swansea release David N Gog
Klasnic goals per game don't tell the story. If you look at his goals per minutes played, that was phenomenal.
Re: Swansea release David N Gog
yeah - good point - though some might argue that increasing the minutes played per game might not have increased the goals... who knows! still leaves beckford 6th...Worthy4England wrote:Klasnic goals per game don't tell the story. If you look at his goals per minutes played, that was phenomenal.

Re: Swansea release David N Gog
For a guy who is known as a goal poacher, failing to hit double figures is poor. That's basically what I'm getting at. Disregard all means averages and medians etc.thebish wrote:yeah - good point - though some might argue that increasing the minutes played per game might not have increased the goals... who knows! still leaves beckford 6th...Worthy4England wrote:Klasnic goals per game don't tell the story.

Not entirely his fault as I said earlier, but I expected him to finish the season with better figures than that.

Re: Swansea release David N Gog
well, if Smokin's right - now we have Feeney (do we?) - then Beckford will be dripping goals next season!LeverEnd wrote:For a guy who is known as a goal poacher, failing to hit double figures is poor.

Re: Swansea release David N Gog
We have lacked players who get to the line in recent years IMO. Eagles never beat a man and put a ball across the box.. always came inside and passed sideways or shot. Chungy usually comes inside and makes a chance for himself or passes it to the edge of the box.
Feeney will run to that line and put a ball in. Beckford should lap that up. Same with Juke if he comes back.
