Unpublicised extensions to contracts revealed by the Argus

[clippedgull]

The Argus has revealed that several members of the League One Championship winning squad were awarded extensions to their contracts which were not publicised.

Talks have started with the players not in Poyets plans for next season.

Poyet told the Argus: "There are going to be players that are going to have to find a place elsewhere because they are not going to be part of things.

"Now the manager knows very well the players he wants for next year it's as simple as that.

Shamir Goodwin has been awarded a professional contract.

Poyet expects to sign up to six new players in the summer

[Notters]

Two years for Harley to prove himself.

 

[Saint Lennard]

Harley must be one of those that Gus has said who may just want to sit in the background and take the money.

 

[Frutos]

Oh yay, another year of Brez and Casper.

 

[clippedgull]

Oh yay, another year of Brez and Casper.

Indeed! Hopefully sitting in the stands, although they may alternate as permanent substitutes. I will question Gus's sanity/ambition if he hasn't secured a new No.1 by seasons start.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Oh yay, another year of Brez and Casper.

This! FFS 'facepalm:

And this. I will seriously question Gus if he does not urgently address our most pressing need!

FFS this is bad news.

 

[Albumen]

FFS this is bad news.

It's bad news that all of our good players are still in contract bar Navarro & Vicente? How is that bad?

Because we've given several players who I expected us to get rid of longer contracts. The negatives out way the positives.

I expect Gus will extend the contracts of those whom we don't want to leave on Bosnans e.g.Bridcutt as one example and then tell Russell Salad that he has first dibs and quality league one players

These players were part of a team that won the League 1 Championship at a canter. Do you really think there will be no takers for them?

The likes of Navarro, Painter, Angkergren etc are top quality League 1 players. Exactly the kind of players that teams who want to get out of that division are looking for.

 

[ees complicated no?]

I think these will be the ones that Gus will say you dont have much of a future with us.

Casper Ankergren
Gary Dicker
Marcos Painter
Michael Poke
Matt Sparrow

and also maybe these if he get the players to replace them

Tommy Elphick - doubt he will get back in the squad now but who knows.
Will Hoskins - obvs dont feature in gus plans no more or he wouldnt of been loaned.
Romain Vincelot - I hope he doesnt go as hes been good when played as cm, rb or lb .... but he doesnt seem to feature much.

as for Harley all we can do is prey for a club to be interested in him.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

6 in, so guessing at least 6 out it seems.

We need 2 strikers, 2 central midfielders, 1 left back, and 1 goalkeeper, as a minimum. I'd have liked a further defender as well.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Am I missing something here? The Argus say some players have had their contract extended and some people here add 2 and 2 together and make 5 and assume these players - not named as far as I can see - are ones that we should be looking to offload? And therefore next season is already a write-off?

Whatever happened to trusting Gus?

What does 'out way' mean?

 

[Soton Seagull]

Is this not the same mistake we made when being promoted to the Championship last time? Dick & Co daftly (although with best of intentions) handed out 3 year, from memory, extentions to some players who never really cut it in the higher league.

 

[Helen Chamberlains Quim]

Rumour has it!

Out of Contract 2015

Lewis Dunk

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Could be worse, barring a few (Bridcutt, Barnes, Dunk) the majority of top players have at least two seasons left. The only upsetting thing is, barring offers, we could be stuck with Painter (and Dicker) for another year...*weeps*

 

[Postman Pat]

Tommy Elphick - doubt he will get back in the squad now but who knows.
.

Tommy has just signed a new contract, if Gus didn't want him he would have just let him leave.
