midds Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 He's 29 and has 2 years to run and wants another 2 years tacked on? Don't blame the club for hanging fire for a bit tbh. If it's all legit obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 How can it be considered a "contract snub" when he's still got two years left to run on his current deal? To my mind the decision to leave talks of a new contract until next season is perfectly reasonable. I'll chuck in the words paper shitstirring.

Ashley17 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Absolutely bonkers to want to tie someone on £50k a week to that sort of deal until they're 33. He's not exactly Mr Mobility as it is, even if his leadership qualities far outweight that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 does seem rather reasonable, no major rush and the jose contract is a tiny bit more important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Whilst Nolan is an integral player at the club at the mo, no way should we consider having him here until he's 33/34. Let him see out the remaining 2 years and, if at the end of that time he's still performing, only then should the club consider offering an extension. IMO it's taking a risk to extend his current deal - we don't want another Butt situation, where we're sick of him and desperate to see him go.

jdckelly Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 in fact the more i think on it the smarter by the club it is imo, he's done well this year but there was a tailing off in performance after Carroll left so keep an eye on how he does next year before committing any further Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 So was this the shocking news then? What a load of shite, I'd go postal if we gave Nolan a contract until he's fucking 33! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nolan's mobility at 33 would be astounding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised if he was about as effective as he is now, actually... but yeah, this was one of my guesses for the MDouglas 'treason' - Captain Nolan thinking about going/agreeing to go. Fwiw, I can't imagine he or anyone would expect him to be given a 4 year £50k p/w contract - I'd bet it would've come with a healthy cut. As for why it's happening (IF it's happening), I believe that it's finally properly dawning on the players that 'this group of lads' is meant to be disbanded, not evolved.

I'd reckon 80 is more right than wrong. The old guard are to be put out to pasture. If the new breed are of the Tiote, Arfa, Cabaye ilk I can't say I'm too concerned, but it has the potential to go pear shaped I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Beye still has 2 years left? Contract expires August 2012, when he'll be two months from his 35th birthday. Another of the "realise you despereately need a player and it's getting late, sign someone uninspiring, decide you don't like him, throw your toys out the pram when the chairman points at him and suggests 2m a year is a bit of a waste of money" brigade. I pray MON gets the Fulham job. Can't wait to see him try that shit with Al Fayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old guard aren't being put out to pasture as far as I can tell. They just aren't getting inflated deals based on their "group of lads" valuation criteria.

JH Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The Toon hierarchy have refused to extend his current contract at St James’ Park. But the club has shelved plans to discuss his contract until the end of next season leaving Nolan in complete limbo. Biggest load of 'journalism' bollocks ever. Ignore it.
