Guest Roger Kint Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Barton is different though, can see him being a quality player in his early-mid thirties. He was offered a deal up til almost his 32nd birthday, its only right he should have to prove himself after that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If he wanted five years I'm behind the club on this one, although I'm not entirely convinced his situation as is terminal as Barton's is because he's got that extra year to run on his deal. If he does piss off we'll struggle to find a player who can match his goals and leadership ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The best thing about Nolan signing a new contract has alway been that it will probably be a morale boost to the rest of the camp, it's not like we have to tie him down to retain some sell on value. Now I like Nolan, but he'll be 30 coming into the 2012/2013 season (last season on his contract), and with Nolan suffering some sort of Old Snake rapid ageing process, this would put him at about 38 in normal footballers years, 4 seasons is an extremely generous offer.

Do you really think the Enrique's, Coloccini's, Ben Arfa's, Krul's & Tiote's are on their holidays thinking, "They'd better give Nolan that brand new contract"?

SUPERTOON Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Where has this five year thing come from? Sky Sports article........... it says he wants an improved 5 year deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well that is ridiculous if true. Doesn't seem to match with his comments a while back about knowing he's going to be phased out of the team though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Where has this five year thing come from? Sky Sports article........... it says he wants an improved 5 year deal. That's where it breaks for me. With that he wants more money and another year on his contract. Fucking hell, Nolan will help us stabilize as a Premier League team in the two coming years but I hope that after that we'll be looking at breaking into top 7 and Nolan will never be good enough for such a push. Should take his 3 year extension and shove it up his arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it'll be some sort of magical spell cast on everyone as soon as he puts pen to paper, but I certainly think a happy and commited Nolan would be better for the team spirit, he's clearly a big charecter in the dressing room. I think he will grit his teeth and get on as usual anyway, regardless if his demands are answered or not, like, I was just making the point that tying Nolan down for a further 2 years isn;t realy neccesary (imo).

Tisd09 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 As long as it doesn't effect his commitment to us then I see no problem with him not extending his contract. The problem may come if he sulks that he's not getting what he wants. If what is being said is true I'm glad the club are not committing. An extra 2 years on top of what he's got is more than adequate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schmuck Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well that is ridiculous if true.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If he's the type of pro I believe he is, he should be relishing the opportunity to try and match last season to show he's worth it so when it comes to this time next summer, we'll be looking at extending. By 3 years though? Again, not so sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 He isn't worth an extension at all tbh. I would have let him finish his contract, and then we should be in a position where we don't need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how Nolan & Barton have both made all the right noises to the fans, in the press, on Twitter, etc. that they love the club, want to stay, etc. yet have never denied the "club source's" info that we've knocked them back due to the length of contract they're after.

Dave Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Wouldn't surprise me if Barton and Nolan are merely trying to exploit their affinity with the fans and the area and didn't count on the club doing exactly the same back at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
