OwlofOliveGrove Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If people could shut-up barking on about him trying to leave now, that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just heard about some of his terms in the new contract.. 24. Every goal scored an additional £1 will be added to your monthly salary. Yep can see why he signed it.. He's just in for the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of 40,000 reasons a week why FF wants to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor John Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Great news. I suspect there has been a pay niggle for some time and this hopefully sorts it out. He is the most complete and talented player I have seen at Hillsborough in my 50 +? years of watching the Owls - he can tackle, shoot, dribble and head. What a talisman to have! Nando will crown this new deal with a match-winning performance against the Terriers this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be be interesting to know what the rest of the team think. Good luck to to the lad. Must have a very smart agent. While it's a very valid point it had to be said the club brought this situation about too. Hopefully lessons learned all round. Looking after existing assets when new players arrive is part and parcel of high end football these days. Whether people agree or not and whether right or wrong its the way things now are Edited January 10, 2017 by scram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 1 hour ago, mcmigo said: Has shown absolutely nothing on the pitch to justify this deal this season. I actually don't doubt his effort and desire but he has lost form this season and has not influenced games like he did last season. If he finds form again this is great news but I doubt a few extra grand will do that. We will probably see the benefit of this next season if he has a settled summer and good pre season. apart from being the clear player of the month just before his sending off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Good news. All that's needed now is for him to be the match winner on Saturday and much of the negativity re him will hopefully disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Why are so many people mentioning his wage? He'd have got similar if he had buggered off to another club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAOWL267 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So the one player at the club that continually let's himself, his team mates, and the fans down by his poor disciplinary record and poor attitude gets a pay rise. He's a cheat at the end of the day. He's fooling everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I am slightly surprised I thought the news of FF new contract would be overwhelmingly popular on here but a sizable minority are less then enthusiastic about the news. I put myself into the minority. Still leaves a nasty taste in my mouth refusing to play and yes I have read the 'heartfelt' apologies as much as anyone. Don't think he has played badly this season but not anywhere near enough to justify a new contact after the Norwich incident. Time for him to deliver now on the pitch though, no more excuses.

Lord Snooty Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 A player who can produce a moment, a spark from nothing, in a turgid and uninspiring performance is worth his weight in gold. That he's signed an extension should be great news to everyone, as a like for like replacement would likely be nigh on impossible to sign in the midseason window. Excellent news. A timely positive boost in this dingy, depressing month of January And just in time for two huge games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 This is great news, there was a marked upturn in his form when Carlos declared that we had FF back and previous to that he was promised a new contract if that happened . If FF gets back to what he was last season it will have a knock on effect through the team as opposed to a negative effect when other players know something is wrong . Lets hope its all good from now on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortlandOwl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Suppose it tells any potential teams who might be interested during transfer window, not to bother. I'm surprised, I was convinced he'd be on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Copthorneowl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well well a player whose magic beguiles and who was in no way going to be with us after 1st Feb this has committed to an even longer stay. How absolutely delightful Normally we have a thread starting just got back. It's 09.30 and ive just got up to great news. Wish I'd had a tenner on with all those who said he'd go and wished it as well, what a pay out. Now thank goodness we have a real chance of the Premier league. Must say apart from being delighted I am surprised given the recent dogs abuse he's taken but once again terrific news things can only get better as they say and his recent below par performances .appear to have helped in a perverse way in that probably our rivals thought no after all. Anyway welcome back Nando not that you ever went away in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF is a one of the most talented player in the 2nd tier over a season Waddle, Carbone and Di Canio were among the most talented players in the top tier over a number of seasons.
