Simon78 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 What with the amount of players out of contract in the summer and whispers of players in negotiations for contracts, some of these players (I'm not naming anyone) upping their performances recently its it inconceivable a late play off burst is on the cards? On the back of players trying to earn new contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 My thoughts are that they knew they were out of contract soon when we played Blackburn etc etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the back of players trying to earn new contracts You have a strange idea what upping their performance levels means after the last ten games or so. Is it inconceivable that you are trying make mischief? Edited February 27, 2020 by Inspector Lestrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grez Bez Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Never understood this 'playing for a contract' thing. Anyone who plays football plays to the best of their ability, especially when it's your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
442 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I’d give them all 5 year contracts after that stunning win last night. They deserve it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Any player who only ups their performance near contact renewal time is a player I'd rather not have at the club. Personally would rather have players who give 100% ALL of the time, even if they are slightly less able ability wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World beater in the last three months of the season when he was out of contract. Got new deal ,then shybo again till he was playing for another.

Whilst I’ve often questioned the ability of some of our players, I think most are honest enough - am I being naive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are most players responsible for recent performances not out of contract in the summer? The ‘out of contract’ players involved last night probably had the biggest impact on the game.

Pablo Bonvin Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It’s simple. Give everyone a contract just for the next match. Then they’re always going to play well to get the next one match contract. Then we win the league. Its easy this football lark. Move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of if they are to stay here, they will want to impress other managers to ensure they get a good move in the summer. They are playing for their future wether it’s here or elsewhere.
