JH Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 There shouldn't be a situation. He is contracted to the club for two more years. And it's all complete speculation anyway. What is an 'unfair' contract offer, or 'asking for too much'? We simply don't know if the club have offered him 2k a week, or he's demanding 90k.

Tisd09 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I understand the idea of keeping them both, I wish we could whilst adding quality to the squad. But what do we do to keep them? Do we give Barton a 4 year contract (if thats what he's asking for of course) do we give Nolan what he wants? For the people who think this is a bad situation with Barton and Nolan what would you see as reasonable to keep them. All we have heard is from the players side, maybe the club are being bastards we don't know but we can't pay over massive wages and long contracts. Look at Smith, there is every chance in a couple of seasons that Nolan would be on massive wages with plenty of time left on his contract and contributing jack shit. People will be calling Nolan a cunt just like they are calling Smith a cunt. In a few seasons we could have a situation where Barton and Nolan are doing fuck all for us whilst earning more than a decent wage. At a maximum I see Nolan lasting another 2 seasons for us which sees us to the end of his contract. I'd be happy for him to run that down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has rejected a new contract offer - that is the situation!!!! ... and he has 2 years left on his current one. There is no situation. I would prefer a conversation about Kevin Nolan and the report that he has rejected a contract. Not a short answer about it's not a situation. It's clearly a situation we have here: A contract offer rejected. How? Why? I understand he has 2 years left on his contract, but a rejected contract from Nolan may have an impact on the squad and/or on certain players. Nolan is a popular player in the squad. That's why I hope they can sort this situation out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If he's rejected the contract then just let the season ride out and re-assess the situation in 12 months time. See where we are as a club and gradually phase him out or offer him a better deal to keep him on. No need for histrionics and hissyfits. Let it ride.

leffe186 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I can. I'd really like you to name them. Someone cited Carrick, Barry and Parker's wages earlier for comparison. Well, Man U could afford to take a bit of a punt on Carrick (and of course they kept Scholes and Giggs), Man City are on a different planet and West Ham seem to have lost their minds on wages a couple of years back. Everybody should now be cutting their cloth according to what they have coming in. To echo Neil from outside - the only indisputable fact is that Barton and Nolan were central to survival this year. I'd be looking for tweaks rather than major overhauls, and losing Barton (as well as Carroll) is on the side of 'major overhaul'. Nolan still has two years, so there's not a major rush. Barton is the bigger issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No club will pay the money to buy him out with 2 years left, no club will likely match his wages. He's going nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodson Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Why is this even a matter roght now. 2 years left on the contract and will be 31 when that contract expires. I definately hope gradually during his last two years he will be used more as a valuable squad player anyways... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Aye, not really arsed about this like. Definitely don't want to see him leave, but he has two years left on his deal and ideally in two years time I'd want us to have better players than him in the team.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 depends if it affects his performances surely? we don't want the fucking nolan that played a nice big, fat part in taking us down rearing his head again do we? hopefully he's a pro about it, same with barton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 if he is on the bench he will spend more time in the dressing room, which is apparently very important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just hope all this contract stuff with senior players does not fuck up the dressing room spirit we have managed to build. Otherwise, agree, he has 2 years, asses at the end of next season (not before). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Perhaps the manager / owners foresee a midfield with both guile and more importantly - pace. Nolan ticks neither box and in my opinion wont be missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be missed if he leaves, but I'll ask again what should the club do to keep Nolan? What would be seen as acceptable? We don't know who is being unreasonable. Are Nolans demands too much? Are the club offering a pittance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton is different though, can see him being a quality player in his early-mid thirties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
