Remember that Liam Bridcutt only came on a 3 or 4 month contract initially - and that worked out ok
No he didn't. I've scored 4,000 goals in the Monkey Tennis League. I'm still shit.
Eh? Wrong quote methinks!
We shouldn't be signing him at all if we haven't done enough research to think he's good enough. When we buy players for a few million, we don't buy them with a 4 month contract. If we think he's good enough, it's disappointing if the contract is only until summer (unless we have the option to extend). And I haven't ever criticised Burke & co for signing players on contracts that are too long.Why? So that in a years time if he hasn't settled and is not performing well you can blast Burke for signing him up on a long contract because now we have him eating up a chunk of wages we could be using on some player we desperately need? Why oh why did he not do the sensible thing and offer a short term contract?
My guess is that the 4 months is to allow him to see if he and his family can settle in this country, a bit like Vicente's second year option. And if the player doesn't want to be here after May, let's hope Oscar handles the situation a LOT better than Poyet did with Vicente.
If I'd posted ten seconds beforehand, I'd have just said "THIS":
Yes, that may be the case, and that is disappointing. I'm not saying that we should tell him to go **** himself, I'm saying that it's disappointing he's not signing a longer deal.maybe he wants to play higher in the league and is using us as a shop window
Yeah, that's a bit odd. BG re-posts every rumour he reads on anonymous and incorrect websites for years, but when a reliable source gives him this incredible rumour he waits until half of it come through to post
No I didnt. I said that I was told earlier in the day that CMS was possibly going to Charlton later in the day I was told about a Spanish player coming in to replace him . That is what I posted not that CMS would go if we signed Sanchez as you imply. You have it the wrong way around.But u said the rumour was if we signed Sanchez macca would go Charlton! So u knew the Sanchez rumour before it was in NSC, but didn't think to post it in here? Right o. I assume u got this from football rumours site as many have suggested, and you've not answered?!
