Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted November 28, 2016 But I thought all the professional footballers were massively unhappy here? Suggests otherwise.Oh, unless it is so we can get a bigger fee when we sell him in January?I just saw Jez Moxey on a grassy knoll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted November 28, 2016 Great news. Suprised by that one. One of the few who could command a decent transfer fee.Guess we will sell him in the summer if we don''t go up 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted November 28, 2016 I''m happy he has signed for Norwich City.Thats about all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted November 28, 2016 That''s terrific news. I think we may lose Brady but Olsson and Brady would be a been catastrophic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted November 28, 2016 How strangeJust as Jacob Murphy a few days agoSurely if we are in a mess, not showing any hambition, almost bankrupt ... etc they would be off like a shot ?More so given they were both soon to become free agentsPerhaps they know more than some on hereHow odd would that be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted November 28, 2016 Not sure I like this. Part of the problem IMO. We need freshen the squad, not offer extended deals to ageing de-motivated players. The timing is even more mind boggling considering our abysmal form.I can''t think of anyone worthy of a new deal at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

? 0 Posted November 28, 2016 Jim, I would imaging that has something to do with parachute payments and lack of promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,455 Posted November 28, 2016 Oddly short contract but good to have him secured for another year at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted November 28, 2016 [quote user="king canary"]Oddly short contract but good to have him secured for another year at least.[/quote]Its the rest of this season, and all of next season.I think he''s 29?Surprised he didn''t want a longer contract, and kudos to Jez for getting him to sign.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted November 28, 2016 Guess he''s giving us two seasons to get back to the Premiership, if we don''t make it he''s off. Still, it shows he likes it here, unlike what some were saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted November 28, 2016 Could be an option where it extends if we are promoted like Turners did? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted November 28, 2016 Good news as he''s a good player when on form. Been underwhelming this season so far but hopefully this will get him in a better place mentally.Club obviously chucked a bit of extra cash at him for a handy PR boost in the current circumstances but who cares as he''s a decent player.

king canary 7,455 Posted November 28, 2016 May do Nigel. Could also have a clause saying we have to sell for a certain fee to a premier league side if we don''t go up. All speculation though. However having a player of his ability tied down for longer can only be a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted November 28, 2016 Indeed some good news on the back of Murphy. Who cares why he signed just good to keep the quality players, he just needs to step it up a notch along with the rest of the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,502 Posted November 28, 2016 No negative here.Him and Jacob signing suggests it can''t be that bad at Conley currently.Even if you take the pessimistic view that it''s only been done to secure a better fee when we sell then it''s still better than letting him go on a free!!
