WalthamOwl Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Good news this. Needs to get back to his form of a few months ago, looked a bit off the pace recently. Very promising player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Glad he’s signed. But his value is still vulnerable with that contract. Seems a bit of a compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 4 hours ago, CraigSGM said: A 12 month extension works well actually. Gives him this season to develop, and this time next year we can start looking at a deal that fits where he is as a player after a full season in the senior squad. Avoids both having a player that doesn't cut it on a long term deal, and having one that gets itchy feet 18 months into a 4 year deal because he's being massively underpaid as the star man. I think it could’ve done with another year as he will be in his final year again next season, which means that we would never get the best deal for him if he did want to move on. With Doyen involved I am always sceptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 1 year is right, he needs to physically develop as he is currently a bit weak for the championship imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Makes sense if they both agreed that at this time Wednesday can't offer him wages he deserves. In the summer, with most of high paid players gone they could agree to better suited contract for both sides. I heard that Penney is huge Wednesdayite, and was desperate to resign.

Inspector Lestrade Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Surely young players who are showing promise and are in a decent shop window and have a savvy agent behind them would be in favour of a short contract. If the club start taking off again and show signs of real progression then he will more than likely sign a longer contract next time. If not then he has the option of jumping ship. The players are in a strong position now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomas613 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It’s all to make sure he’s not a flash in pan if he keeps performing when it comes up to 1 year left I’m sure we will extend again. If he drops of and is none existent we’ve not commit ourselves to a player that we can offload easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 12 months we are going to be in the same position we are now however the lad will be more experienced and have a lot more interest. If he does well this season he'll be offered a new one in the summer. 4 hours ago, Beholder said: Good. Now stop playing him in Central Mid and up front. Ffs. 4 hours ago, NorfolkNChance said: Good to get him signed. Now play him left back and let’s see him develop. Swanning around in midfield or left of a front three is doing him no favours Personally think he'd be better further forward on the left in a 442. Some big weaknesses defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 apologies if this has been mentioned as I haven't read thro I think it's possible this deal is all we can offer with our restricted budget P&S wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 2 hours ago, daleblue said: Exactly, if other clubs come in for him, and he wants away we can make money, if it works out for him here and he wants to stay, he can sign an extension. If other clubs come in for him and offer enough he would be off anyway for big money. From the summer onwards clubs can get him for a reduced value due to his contract running down or take a gamble on compensation. Given that players like Joao signed up to 2021 suggest to me that this isn’t a P&S issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Weird length of contract. He has another good 6 months this season and develops into an awesome prospect and then Prem or foreign clubs can just nick him following season. It's a compromise because we can't afford to pay him what Doyen wanted, because of FFP. He obvs wants to stay and be loyal but advice was, "give them another year to show loyalty, play well and they'll be forced to sell you Summer 2019 rather than lose you for nothing" Well done Wednesday!

Hack-Abusi Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Would have liked a 2 year deal for added security .. i think given his previous performances, and with a bit more discipline, he'll be a quality player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmason69 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) We have an absolute no hoper like Nuihu given a two year extension, when he should have been dumped and we only give Penny a one year deal Theres absolutely no logic at Hillsborough to contracts or anything whatsoever. It's a farce down there Edited November 1, 2018 by Mrmason69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Thought he should have been given a two-year deal but at least he's staying for now. Perhaps he's noticed that Clare has not made a good start at Hearts and that the grass is not always greener elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
