Transfer Rumours In and Out

Kaikai left by mutual consent and AAH was sold.

 

Shame, those 2 seem to be doing ok, Horgan and Mellor not playing much.

 

JJ, signs for another year. Legend.

 

Just seen that all we need is everybody to sign up now

 

And he's been given a testimonial after 10 years.

 

Who else is out of contract, or is it more of a case of who is in contract.

 

Vokes is one who is out of contract, I can see him signing again if Bloomfield wants him to stay.,

 

I’d like Vokes to stay

 

Hasn't had the impact this season as last, injuries has curtailed his games this year, still a very good player

 

Josh Scowen has signed on for another year.

 

I would love to know the background to these one year extensions. Is it the club or the player that will only commit to one year?

 

I found it strange Ron i would have given him another 3 years at least.

 

He has just turned 30 and could leave on a free after one year. Tricky one. One last chance at a crack at the Championship? JJ will be 37 in November

 

I think 3 year is probably too long once you reach 30 years old, I would have said two years for Josh

 

Very pleased with this, imagine with Gape and Thompson back and if we keep wing. That would be a something to base a team around.

 

I can not see Gape & Thompson being offered anything longer than a year with their injury problems this year

 

Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that both Jack Grimmer and David Wheeler will remain at the club until the end of next season.

Not sure what to make of that either

 

I think we are short of money and can’t be dishing out long term contracts. I’d say they are repaying loyalty and not looking for longer contracts elsewhere.

 

I think a lot depends on the players belief in their ability to play at a higher level, and what the manager and owners believe

If I didn't have enough belief to hold my own at a higher level, I would be looking for as long a contract as possible because, in the event of promotion, I probably wouldn't get a game and I would be compensated if released. Conversely if I believed in myself then I would be looking for 1 year contract (in order to be free for a move to a Championship club), unless I was confident of promotion and a regular start

From the owners' viewpoint, if they think the player would not feature in the event of promotion then they would not be willing to grant a long term contract but, if they did think the player was Championship standard, they would be looking for a long term contract so that, in the event of promotion, they have a good player already signed up. If promotion didn't come, they would get a pay-out if a Championship club came calling

There is that feeling of belonging and wanting to play for a club until they retire. In that situation a long term contract would be ideal and a 1 year contract a bit demotivating

Hope that made some sense
