Sham67 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Geoffrey said: With 11 months left on their contract and just 2 two weeks of the window you're playing a risky game. If the players don't sign they may get the best deal as a free agent next June (e.g. Hirst and Clare) and the blunts or anyone else will get them free, never mind cheap. Somebody needs to start running the club as a business. Clare doesn't seem to making a good job of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Surely £200,000 a week is a bit over the top for Jones. Good job we only gave him a 27 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I have got excited that we were in contract talks with Hirst and Clare? Unless he signs or leaves within a fortnight we will have devalued another asset.

Sounded out? They need to sign them up or ship them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just pointing out what an utterly moronic belief it is to think being in contract talks with a player means he is less likely to extend than if we weren’t in contract talks.

What are you waffling on about? 2 days ago Bannan said " I would like to stay here but it's not for me to decide that. It's up to the club" " Doesn't sound like he's had an offer.

TheEnchanter Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's scary to think we've used the Hunt and Rhodes money towards Jones 50% wage increase that was triggered when he made his 4th forward pass of the season last year. 115k a week is a lot for a player like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, rather than making a knee-jerk decision which would likely result in us having to accept a cut-price deal for some of our best players, having hawked them around rival clubs who hadn't been sufficiently interested to make an offer without us first knocking on their door in desperation, we could keep them, play them, and hope that their qualities contribute to a successful season for our club, whilst looking to extend their contracts (which at least one of them has already publicly expressed an interest in). I suppose we'll have to wait and see which option the club take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Shipping them out is all well and good, but we are very unlikely to find or have a replacement for Bannan. He's one of the crown jewels and imo is one of those that is the difference in turning us from a mid-table team into a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
