Ante's Bubbly 943 Posted May 30 If we go up we'll need him for at least another season. If we don't go up we'll need him for at least another season. Give him two years and carry the one year extension forward to the new contract. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever the pessimist 9,913 Posted May 30 Robert Green won the europa League last night, aged 38. Granted, he didn’t so much as touch the ball throughout the campaign but he sure as hell lifted the trophy. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
