Guest The Libertine Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 a 4 and a half year contract for someone who's only played 7 games? strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 a 4 and a half year contract for someone who's only played 7 games? strange. Not really. You're not going to sign a promising youngster for just a couple of years. 1 because they're not even going to get a chance in that time, and they could just be snapped up by someone bigger.

I doubt the size of the contract is going to break the bank, with him being a 17 year old defender, its going to take a lot of training to get him near the 1st team, were showing him he's for the long term, there's nothing unusual about the length of such a contract for someone so young, in fact its a good thing.

Guest The Libertine Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i agree that we should be tying these young promising players down for the long term, but he's only had 7 games. how much can we know about him as a player now and his potential?

relámpago blanco Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 He may only have played 7 times for the 1st team but I'm sure he will have played in some form of FA Youth League isn't he in england under 18s or somthing as well. I'm sure everton knew rooney was half decent before he'd played for their 1st team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for other clubs, namely Manu & Arsenal, they see a youngster and they nail him down for 5 years and start working on them with hope to being them through at the end of their teens. How much do you think the lad is getting paid, considering he's only a year from his YTS contract? I cannot see it being more a year than Owen gets in a week. So a 5 years deal is the same if not considerably less than Owen earns in a month to 6 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Whats the problem with the 4.5 year contract? Whats the alternative? 1.5 year contract he does reasonably well, and another club take him off us for a pittance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 SSN Ben Tozer has signed for Newcastle United on a four and a half year deal.... the only clip they could find was him hacking someone down in the area and getting sent off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hope we are intending to play him as a centre back eventually, as that's his best and natural position. Heard he's been signed to play left back though. Apparnetly he's very good at listening what coaches have to say and taking that on board, and showing that he's listened in his performances. Coaches find him easy to work with and he learns fast. Hope he does well for us, and for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Glad the deal is finally done.I dont know much about this Tozer guy but Im sure he doesnt like to be toss around and I think 4.5 year contract is not that bad as it seems.He will probably be loan out to some championship club before he will be given a start to play for us.

hakka Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Anyone know why Plymouth got rid? Argyle youth coach didn't really value him like that, and believe Tozer wanted pro contract and Argyle were not prepared to offer it yet. Think the previous youth guy at Plymouth went to Swindon when Sturrock went there, he always believed in Tozer so took him from Argyle and signed him up pro. Few games later, he's suddenly off to Newcastle for £1.1 million. Bet Argyle are kicking themselves now though, could have made some money or at least got some decent games out of him for a bit. Some people down here slate the youth setup at the club, although Dan Gosling and Paul Connolly are doing well. Luke McCormick is a decent keeper too. Gosling just sold to Everton for £1.5m. Only played 20 games, and he's 17. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 new transfer policy - throw (relatively) small amounts of money at 17 years olds showing promise.... probability suggests that in 3-4 years time we'll end up with some decent players surely better than blowing 17m on a cripple in one shot? if we'd have spent that 17m on, say, 30 17 year olds we'd just be about to see a crop of 20 year old genii take the world by storm ah, sweet hindsight, what a cruel mistress you are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give those kids £3k a week contracts, and you are still paying less than Owen's wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
