nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Dom Howson lying through his teeth again. I can confirm that after his scan none of KW's joints are crunching .'. these are not crunch talks but contract talks. KW will want the best possible contract on offer. If we want to keep him, we keep him. Simple really ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Lucas Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Whatever it takes he loves being here and firmly believe he wants to be a part of Wednesday winning promotion to the premier and he will play a massive part in achieving this bonkers of we don't do all we can to keep him!

Blue and white Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) This is the most important bit of business we will do this summer and is pivotal to next season promotion hopes. Edited April 23, 2019 by Blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Most important business we will do between now and the start of next season is getting a new contract sorted for Westwood. Fully deserves a new 2 year contract at least. Still for me one of if not the best keeper in the league. Be a massive mistake to lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 we should offer him what we can afford ….the days of giving in to players demands as to stop if we are to get the right side of FFP …..it's pointless giving him xxx amount for the 10 points he saves us if by doing so we get hit with a points deduction as we surely will if we keep flouting the rules …….he may well take a drop in wages to stay here but if hudders or whoever are in a position to offer more then that would be a test of his loyalty and love for the club that some seem to think he has … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hang on, I thought he was third choice.......That parallel universe we found ourselves in was a dark place!!! Westwood controls everything in front of him, his communication with the defence and reading of the game is second to none. Like an extra defender. Would be massive if we keep him.

Owls2k Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Huddersfield talks are leaked a few days before he is set to sit down with Bruce. And that's what you call an agent doing his job. It'd be interesting if Chansiri broke the bank to keep him after letting (or instructing...) the previous manager leave him out.

SiJ Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Absolutely love to keep him. He has been brilliant since he came back in. Whether we can offer him a good enough deal...who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet Joe Harts agents doing just the same about this time the as will Westwoods agent , touting him to promoted to /or relegated Premier League clubs ... I don't think Chansiri will be spending much money in the close season, under the instructions from his present manager. Unless there's a big swing in cash from sales after balancing losses .......

Perhaps you can chuck a few more quid at a few players (Westwood would be one you'd push the boat out for, assuming you could), but I'm expecting our recruits to be very much in the Iorfa mold - young, with potential/resale value and relatively cheap. Truth be told, I'm all for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the rest of the Squad with Iorfa (being the yardstick / Standard as you endorsed) the exception are available at the very best price that can be got . Even Sir Alex Aspired to this model ... Since Big Ron days this is the first manager we've had who has got a huge network amongst the clubs .. I'm eager to see what's in store for us? As you say let's have more like Iorfa ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Palmer will be easier to tie down than Westwood, but I think they'll be quite a few takers for Palmer based on how well he's played since Bruce came in.

Hirstys Salopettes Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Besides the obvious benefit of a Westwood new contract, an added benefit should be it allows one of our two young talented keepers to go out on loan and get much needed regular match day experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 We do need to remember he is 34, if his wages are sky high and he gets the same again for 2/3 years, is that really good for us? I want him to stay, I just hope we have our parameters agreed so that we don’t keep getting stuck in a FFP rut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'd be wary of a 3yr deal. He's been terrific recently, but reality is we've already had the prime years of his career already. He'll start to decline at some point, whether that's injuries or reactions. Top dollar contracts for ageing players nearing the end of their best is partly how we've ended up in this mess to begin with. As much as I love Westwood, there's a tendency here to wanna hang on, and on, and on to players until the end of time. Happy to let DC & Bruce weigh up the pros & cons of overall package.
