Players are now hitting peak at 30-34, Darnell has improved no end the last 2 years.
Im a fan myself. Always liked the lad.
People seem to have a fixation with age ! Given the improvement in fitness, dietary standards etc turning 30/31 is no longer the beginning of the end for professional sportsmen . If Darnell maintains his recent injury record I see no harm in tying him down for another 3 years or 2 years with 12 month option . He is still improving as can be witnessed by his performances so far this season !At my age I have no fixation whatsoever about age or fitness. However the underlying problem is still the financial situation within the club, where the utmost care must be taken with regard to player salaries and length of contracts together with maximising future resale value. So when looking at player contracts the player market must play a part in the decision. The club has shown over this transfer window the ability to find and loan/buy players that could possible be at least equal or better than those released or contracts expired. I'm confident the club will not sign players or resign players with limited shelf life and no resale value
Well he is 29 this October do a 2 year deal maxBut no resale value and relatively high salary !!
The old promotion linked pay rise might do it
Yes agreed on the striker comment. Not digging Cole out because he clearly is our 3rd choice but the drop off from Maja and Dike to him is huge. Praying for all strikers to remain injury free.We have an opportunity in January - the recruitment team are already on it, global search for a striker
It would appear the player is not pushing for a move and given we have 3 days left in the window I'm not selling at any price the clubs concerned are likely to offer. Even if they are prepared to overpay and £20m now is an overpay that money is devalued because if we went out in the market we would be overpaying for any of the players we were likely to bring in.Not so, the money is of course valuable to the club. as I've said before timing is of the essence, if we are planning well we will have already got contingencies in place to ensure we get players out and in before the deadline
Had Southampton or anyone else turned up with £15m plus add-on's at the beginning of the widow they might have got the player, simply because the money would have been worth more to us then than it is now.
No need to apologise chap, nobody's implied anything. A poster has stated a fact as can be found online. Another poster (me) wonders where blame lies and suggested a couple of bum hangers may have felt a little loose. That's it. Calm your pantaloons. Ps, Albionic can answer for himselfI'm sure he can but the nod nod wink wink is a clear implication, I don't have my knickers in a twist, just clear thinking so we can act accordingly as Albionic has.
Our problem is Jack Clarke was sold for 15million now he had a better season in the Championship than TF & no doubt that is what any suitors will say !!They can say what they like, Fellows will only leave when the club decides it has received an acceptable offer
