We seem to always be looking backwards. We constantly live in the short-term. The future looks bleak. - He's our best player - We are skint - We could be in league 1 next year - We dont have enough contracted players to put out an 11 next season - He's only 31 and it's only a 2 year deal. Not signing him would have been ridiculous. There is absolutely no way we would have got a replacement anywhere near his quality without splashing serious cash. We dont have serious cash. I really struggle to see how anyone can be unhappy about this. We are going to need to sign a lot of new players over the summer. Having an old head who knows the ropes will be imperative in helping to get the new team gelling and working together. Looking to the future doesn't mean you cant sign any older players. In fact they are essential to bringing on and developing the youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s only because I have no faith in the club to sign a replacement. Maybe signing a replacement for one of the championships top performers over the last 4 or 5 seasons isnt that easy. Especially when you have no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it tells you a lot about the state we’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Do some people really think Bannan signing a new deal is sh it or just saying it because they have a massive downer on about everything SWFC? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I hope Bannan has had some reassurances about recruitment over the summer. If so things may not be as bleak behind the scenes as we feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have had to have an unprecendented turnaround in finances/accounts for that to even be remotely possible 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called him that because my first thought was Chansiri and why? Appease the fans, and like the film, it was a case of, GET SHORTY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If Bannan doesn't sign a new deal then those moaning now would be going on about how it was a sign of where the club is and how we can't keep our best players etc. There's so much wrong with the club right now, but this is some good positive news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. In hindsight we should’ve sold. But at the time it wouldn’t be popular and we had the back stop of compensation. Leicester had our pants down on the Leuven thing and even the wider football world found that distasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Loyalty is a rare thing in football these days and it is a great boost for the club that Bannan has signed up again. He could quite easily have walked into most other championship teams and hopefully he can help secure our position in the championship this season and assist with the rebuilding process.

I suppose so. It’s just the timing of it I guess. A day after losing Shaw. That’s where my frustration is coming from. Would much rather we’d sorted Shaw out than Bannan who isn’t going to improve or make us money in the future. I think this is where we’ve gone wrong over the years. These type of deals for players heading towards the end of their career. Would much rather we’d cashed in on Bannan last year or the year before and reinvested in a younger more mobile player with his best games ahead of him. That is completely possible, Bannan is class but not irreplaceable. Edited February 19, 2021 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's 31 and a half now and you add 2 years, he'll be 33 and a half. Jesus. Better get this checked out by Chansiri's accountants ! Oh no, hold on ! They might get the wrong year !
