swafty Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 As someone posted earlier, these 1 year contracts are the main issue, no security for the player and hardly a vote of confidence for their ability, need to tie some of the more promising ones tied down for 3 or 4 years , introduce them to the team gradually and bring them through.

So, how come we can stop Forestieri leaving unless someone pays whatever money we want, yet if he was in my job he could hand his notice in, serve 3 months, and be free to leave? I sense from a contract POV you're correct, but the difference with football is a players professional registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to pay him a salary for a further 18 months if no-one signs him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 No, we don't have to pay a salary and we wouldn't be liable for any costs if he signs for another club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 When Clares loan at Gillingham ended it was reported that they wamted to sign him and he was happy to stay. They can offer him regular first team football. No brainer really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If he wants to stay I’d certainly try and keep him, there’s a player there without question. What I want to know more about is his journey to until the Nike Academy. What was it that led to him missing the boat despite his obvious ability? Attitude? focus on education? Traveling the world? Didn’t get the lucky break? I would imagine the answer to that question will present us with some clues as to the path his future career will take. The Nike Academy is hardly littered with great successes as it’s legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His thought process maybe along the lines of that contract is not going to go anywhere and I should keep my options open as long as possible. It does seem strange, I thought that once his current contract expired the choice would be to either agree to what's being offered or else seek a new deal elsewhere That we'd fulfilled our obligations and any future settlement would be decided by tribunal Didn't know he'd still be entitled to receive a weekly wage and have his medical expenses covered while he/they wait to see what else happens His injury has complicated matters, but should the offers come in once he's regained fitness I would hope this additional outlay is added to his valuation And what if his injury clears up and the offers don't come flooding in, will he remain on weekly terms indefinitely? Or until we forego compensation and release him anyway? Which might have been their preferred option from the start, especially if a deal with (say) Gillingham is already lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky belly Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yup, the longer this goes on the more clear it is that he doesn't want to sign for us. He's obviously waiting for a better more lucrative offer to come along. Maybe his mate can get him a 'dream' move to a 2nd division Belgian club... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I’d move to a 2nd Division Belgian club if it meant going to the Prem the season after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Well there definitely doesn’t seem to be a big clamour for his signature I can see his injury been monitored and him signing a revised new deal here towards end of pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'd be cautious about him signing a new deal now. Obviously doesn't want to be here and we aren't that desperate. We don't owe him a living, expect the club to do what is necessary to maintain our right to compensation and facilitate a move elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but it seems like there are too many loopholes now for devious agents with 'foreign' contacts to exploit My main hope is that these are now coming to light and those in authority are actually doing something to address the situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
