Seen some reports of it being an 8 year contract. That doesn't seem quite right, surely?

Brilliant news.

Surely only happens at Chelsea?

Mike McGrath, who broke the story, didn't mention that. The only place I've seen talk of 8 years is Seagulls Central on Twitter, who presumably just read the original Telegraph story and decided to add a bit to seem ITK.

If it is eight years a certain someone is going to be in amortisation heaven...and dozens of lucrative media appearances explaining it to us mortals.

Amortisation against the transfer fee we paid for him?

A nice pick-me-up after Sunday's disappointment. 3 points tomorrow now please

 

[Gabbiano]

All these contract renewals coming through are nice little pick-me-ups.

Who is left that is due one, Mitoma and Veltman?

 

[Oh_aye]

Nice.

Veltman is out of contract in June.

A new contract is excellent news. Well done Evan, you richly deserve it.

On the signing for 8 years. Obviously this is unconfirmed, and very well might not be true in this instance, but did I remember the story correctly that UEFA / FIFA have changed the rules so that amortisation can now happen over a maximum of 5 years, however this will only apply for contracts signed after the end of this season, meaning that if you can get a long term contract signed before July, you can “take advantage” of this rule as Chelsea have?
