Contracts

I'd be very surprised if we didn't have a couple of deals pretty much done. PR likes to do business early and by now AN will identified which positions need filling and who he is happy to let go.

I'm expecting a very busy transfer window in terms of comings and goings.

The window is shutting a month earlier than usual so we’ll have to get a move on.

Deals probably won’t be done at this stage but I suspect plans are already firmly in place with only a few weeks of the season left.

If anyone has to be sold (hope not) I’d rather that was done earlier on to, because whilst we’d get a better price late on I doubt we’d replace adequately.

I'd be prepared to see us roll the dice with both and gamble on going up next year (if we don't this year) We stand to lose 50k on them if we don't go up and have to lose them for nothing yet I'd expect both to sign on of we go up.

No we would lose the fees we could get for them this summer which would be some number of millions - enough in other words to get replacements who would sign longer contracts and still have something left over for strengthening elsewhere. Also if players with 12 month left on their contracts do not sign extensions when they are offered they are saying they would rather be somewhere else. So whichever way you look at it if they do not sign then we get what we can for them and move on. But let's see what division we are in first of all - there is still just a chance...

Selling Hugill for £10m and signing his supposed replacement in Moult for £500k doesn’t give me much hope that either would be replaced adequately.

Having only spent £50k on the pair I’d just hold onto them unless they were agitating for a move.

We’ve already got some very important business to do before having to replace players potentially sold first team players.

Hadn't we already bought Moult before Hugill was sold? IMO we still haven't replaced Hugill so lets wait and see ai

The one we’ve needed for the last 2 years was to replace Welsh. We sort of tried with signing Grimshaw. So we need that player. And would need to replace Gallagher and DJ.

So it would be 3.

We didn't try replacing Welsh or Gallagher with Grimshaw. It was a case of if you want Pearson you take Grimshaw as well and that's how we ended up with Grimshaw !!

Think they're happy to cash in on him. Cunningham and Gallagher I think are on going regarding new deals.

AN definitely rates Johnson, but no idea where contract negotiations are up to. If we sold him then lost Gallagher/Welsh as well we’d need 3 midfield signings in 1 summer, having not signed 1 in 2 and a half years. Not great planning really.

Heard similar.
 
Would be a shame to lose DJ, I think he'd tear it up in the right set up and given less defensive duties.

In terms of technique, him and Gally are the best at the club.
