It’s been in the works since before the season started by the sound of it. He said he’s known about it since the summer IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 Have to say, I'm working on the assumption that story about the original contract being for 3.5 years - or something to that effect - is true. Which made the need to open discussions a lot more pressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 The way people reacted to the signing, it was clear that Gordon had a lot to prove when he arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 (edited) https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c2ek10zxzzlo Absolutely certain some 'journalist' get to pleasure themselves writing stuff about us that is negative. Even when it's positive news, they write about how it could have been negative. Pathetic. Edited October 23, 2024 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see you do it for two back to back seasons first. Would tell all agents that when signing players. Do that and reward them handsomely. If you want to make young signings wait 2 full seasons before giving them a new contract then it is best not to give them a 3.5 year contract in the first place, especially if you are paying north of £40 million for them.

Yep. It’s definitely been a strange one. Was it ever confirmed he only had 2yrs left on contract? Makes initial contract very short and unlike us.

Given some of the eccentric things that have come out about our overall conduct, it doesn't feel as implausible as it once did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 (edited) Um, what. How is this new contract any confusing at all? Fully deserved and smart to do from a business and football point of view. Edited October 23, 2024 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is not the offering of the contract it's the reported making him the clubs highest earner on the back of one seasons good numbers. I don't have an issue with it personally as it protects our investment and hopefully helps attract other good players having more internationals in the team.
