That 19k would get you one championship player (who wouldn’t be as good as DJ) or two players of Ben Woodburn’s quality

Not exactly the basis for a rebuild

People complain about DJs wage as if it’s not still less than most Championship players get

You’re arguing a point I didn’t even attempt to make there!
 
A top six (top 5?) finish seems our only (small) hope of retaining him, I think. But at his age, he’ll be looking for a good long contract.

He can be an enigma. So if he goes, I will just tell myself that maybe (just maybe) it’s for the best.

You can get a lot better players of Woodburns quality for £1 a week.

Decent championship players are not always dictated by the wages or transfer fee.

Our best 2 midfielders of the past decade have been 25k and 50k.

Pearson was only 500k.

Sometimes bargains can be had.

I'm hoping Onomah turns into a right gem.

It really isn’t. That’s bollocks. He’s good when played in an attacking role and those behind him actually get the ball to him. Jesus, you’ll be perpetuating the ‘lazy’ myth next. Does anyone seriously believe DJ (or any other player for that matter) turns up some days and goes, ‘Nah, can’t be arsed today’. Utter shite.
 
Johnson and Brady, in my opinion, should be given new contracts ASAP. Appreciate some won't agree.

Onomah was great against QPR, but it would be daft to put something on the table so soon.

It goes without saying that Woodburn should be free to leave; he'll probably get snapped up by a team like Fleetwood or something.
 
Woodburn was obviously brought in to replace DJ and he's been tried and found to come up short to the job. But credit to Lowe for at least giving him a bloody good , if in retrospect a far too long - trial.

Show him the door and offer some of that wage to DJ's existing wage, Ridsdale & face facts and tell the owners the wage ceiling at PNE is going to make it Even Less attractive to anyone wishing to buy PNE.

If we do actually lose DJ in the summer and his replacement is genuinely promoting Woodburn into his position I'd put my house on us going down.

Nothing against Woodburn but they're not even comparable.
 
He will be a big loss when he goes I’ve always liked Johnson, think he reads a game well. We’d have to fork out a hefty price for anyone similar.
 
How do we know he hasnt been offered a new contract? the club will hardly announce if he has turned one down of they are still negotiating terms. ?
