Players Contracts

With us waiting to see if <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Caldwell</st1lace></st1:city> will be offered/sign a contract extension before he is able to talk to other clubs in January and move for free at the end of the season I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of contracts the rest of the squad are on.<o></o>

Good job, Danni.

I repeat, Caldwell's and O'Dea's contracts are expiring next summer and we must do our best to renew those deals.

 

100% correct mate

 

just realized how much we got boruc for..bargain

 

sorry for double post but very well put together

 

Excellent Work Danni, STICKIED!!

 

just noticed this danni pal and excellant work there doll

 

Good job, very interesting...

 

Excellent post, cheers for that!

 

Some handy info there Danni. I completely forgot about big John Kennedy. Anyone know how he's getting on? I seem to recall he had more injury trouble while on loan to Norwich..could be wrong.

 

there is many players that can leave at the end of next season

 

I admire Kennedy for his spirit to keep going but when his contract expires i think it may be the end of his carreer

 

Whoa excellent work. Now go and get Caldwell and O'Dea signed on a new contract while you're at it

 

Great Post

 

great post danni!


WOW! you must admire our business making! we have built a great team and we have spend very little to do that! we have spend only 26 mill to get all the players we have in our team! if you compare that to the spending of other teams (e.g. adebayor to city for 25 mill) our management and board seem to know what they are doing!

 

Good post

Shows we spent our money wisely

 

Good post.
The main thing i took from it was how cheaply assembled our squad actually is.

 

great post its amazing how good a team we've built on a pittence. someone said 26mill. if we sold correctly we would get every penny back + a small profit but i can't help but think the folk praising the board for clever spending where slagging WGS for blowing money on duds.

as for caldwell and o'dea think the club will let o'dea sweat see if he ups his game a bit as players in their last yr typicall do. would like caldwell to stay but if he's after £25k p/w a think the money could be better spent

 

i'd sign caldwell and o'dea on new deals ASAP 25k a week is what some other players are on so why not ask for it?captain clueless wages could be better spent elsewhere!:bbpd:

 

New to the forum, and just saw this article... Good to know where things stand with the Bhoys in the squad... Now O'Dea has signed an extension. In addition to Mr. Q's observation, kudos to the academy, to Willie McStay and the late, great Tommy Burns etc, for developing so many of the youths through to the senior squad, as they did for so many years.
