steven33jackie 1,963 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Imagine a scenario where Goldson and Tav decide to see out their existing contracts. Tav will almost 35 and Goldson 33 by the time they expire plus they will be top earners. It would be an absolute waste of money to then compound this expensive mistake by offering Lundstram a two or three year deal as a top earner. This has been the problem for years, we have a real problem when it comes to moving players on. We continually make the same mistakes. Buy a player give them a platform where they can perform, receive bids when the plan works, reject the bid, let them run down the contract and leave for nothing or very little (Kent, Kamara, Morelos) or fork out good money fail to get the best out of them and let them go at a massive loss.

KBOO72 4,442 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 17 hours ago, OrangeRab said: My prediction: He’ll sign a new contract (because we don’t have the funds to waste trying to replace him). Him and Tav will start off next season slow and shit. They’ll get up to match sharpness by week 5 and go on to be two of our best players. We won’t rest or rotate them and they’ll play every single minute, twice a week, in every single competition. Their form will gradually drop off. By crunch time around April they’ll look slow, their intensity and speed gone and look every bit their age. We will call them losers and mentally weak. Repeat. Give it a rest ffs.

STEPPS BOY 74,692 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The Lundstram contract is quite significant now regarding where we are on and off park as a club. Financially, everything coming from club is about trading models and lowering age of squad significantly. On the park, if we give Lundstram a new deal on wages he wants then he’ll be a guaranteed starter going forward along with Tav and Goldson.

Gascoigne's Flute 276 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Been one of our most consistent performers this season but looks like he's slowing down and not got the legs he once had.

bluenoz 31,087 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He picked the worst possible time to slump. It wasn't long ago he was being considered for player of the year. He must have run out of fuel.

Swagger 8,274 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 We need as many of this lot out the door as possible. Some cunt thought giving Ryan Jack a new contract was a good idea. If Lundstrum stays we are in trouble as there is obviously no plan to actually move this club forward HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 23,035 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I think Raskin was brought in to be his successor but, for a variety of reasons, that hasn’t worked out. Raskin has plenty of critics on here but I still think that a proper close season under Clement will make a huge difference. I think Clement’s patience has run out with Lundstram, Dowell, Jack etc and the squad as a whole will get significantly younger next season too.

esquire8 43,262 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If we go into the summer and the first thing announced is him signing a new deal then we can pretty much begin to write off the window again.
