But not sure how he is any different to Fletcher. Both could possibly walk away at the end of their contract. He has signed extensions in the past when we were hardly in a good position. Fletcher saw out his original contract and no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bannan and hope he stays but let’s not pretend he’s going above and beyond in our time of need. He’s a footballer doing a job. Just like Fletcher was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on of the premier assist makers in the Championship and he’s elected to stay with us since 2015 through good times and bad Fletcher packed his bags and walked off a pitch 1 minute after coming on at the slightest hint of a contract elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wasn’t keen of Fletcher for that suspect injury when he came off after a minute against Forest. But again he was looking out for himself. As Bannan will be doing if he signs here or elsewhere. The fact it’s says ‘in principle’ he’s signing a new deal - that suggests to me it’s dependent on what league we were in. If he’s so loyal surely he’d sign no matter what league we’re in? Apart from the Forest episode with Fletcher - I firmly believe both Bannan and Fletcher have given their absolute all in a Wednesday shirt. The fact we couldn’t give Fletcher a contract that matched what Stoke offered him is no stain on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan has never walked off a pitch after one minute Bannan has signed extensions to contracts Bannan is still here Bannan is still grafting for the side and putting the yards in Bannan hasn’t rejected a contract outright But sure, you go ahead and equate him to one of footballs best known mercenaries 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re going to have to back that up. Fletcher put his body on the line consistently. I know someone connected to the club who says how much of a huge influence Fletcher was behind the scenes past two seasons with the squad and the young lads. Yes I know you’ll point to the Forest situation which certainly looks poor from him. Would like to know the full story though. Someone on here says we didn’t actually offer Fletcher a new contract until the very last minute. Might have pee’d him off? I don’t know. Hard to tell without the full story.

The situations are somewhat different. I’m sure Bannan knows what he’s signing. Fletch was on sky high wages and had to take a cut, negotiations probably fell after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher effectively stopped playing for us with 9 games to go to avoid getting injured when he was about to become a free agent. Do you expect Bannan to do the same this season?

Hats off to him if he signs for a League One club. I think at this stage of his career, comfort comes into it. He’s settled with a young daughter, and is the main guy at this club. He very well may be scouring the local clubs (Derby, Forest, Blackburn) in the area, and if he was to leave us I reckon it would be to someone of that ilk I’m not too confident of him staying if we drop. 60/40 on him leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a unique set of circumstances last season where players were being asked to play for a period when they were technically no longer employed by the football club. Thats why Nuhiu and Lee deserve the upmost respect for what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he’s nailed on to start every week here regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
