Oh piss off.  Out of those players the only one we should be in talks with is Anita as backup to RB.

Anita's only 28, he can still get a decent long term contract elsewhere. Gouffran is 31, he'll likely be more willing to accept a shorter contract on lower wages. That's probably the gist of it, Rafa won't be offering Gouffran a contract if he reckons it's shite for the club :lol:

 

He's obviously not going to be anywhere near the starting XI next season.

Speaking of wingers, what's happened to Roberts? Did he do much at Kilmarnock? Was the next big hope 2-3 years ago, he should be at the stage where he's pushing people like Gouffran out the picture as a squad player by now if he's going to make it

Wouldn't be my decision this, but if the manager thinks he's worth keeping around then fair enough, it's not going to break the bank and perhaps he was more influential behind the scenes than we realise. If we had anyone else in charge I'd be concerned about what it said for our transfer plans but not this time.

Reading the wording on the official statement on the club website, it does sound that it's not a simple contract extension, they sound very much like they are offering him a deal that they are not very confident that he will accept, so it could be a pay as your play type or a significantly lower wage than he is currently on.

Obviously we all trust Rafa, but there isn't a single scenario in any match that we will play where Gouffran will be needed or useful.

 

One thing I will say is that we really don't know what goes on in the dressing room and at the training complex. Gouf may play a big role in bounding the group together, perhaps that's why Rafa wants to keep him around.
