Crofty and Other Contract Expiries

[gissing canary 2]

Now due to the fact that we have got a new squad every year for the past couple, we shouldnt have too many contract issues especially as we dont own many players.But I think I am right in thinking Croftys contract is up this summer?  Or do we have an option to extend?  Also Fozzys is as well - guessing he wont sign after losing captaincy and first team place.Spillanes is as well?  How is he doing at Luton?  Surely worth coming back?But my main point is, we need Crofty to sign on again, he has really learned his trade here over the past 3 seasons and is now more consistent and becoming a key threat for us, pushing Bell onto the right and forcing out Chadwick, we therefore have to get him to sign on.  We need to build a squad not spend our time replacing key players constantly!

Very good point, we should be talking to the key players who are out of contract this summer, now.

croft likely to be atrracting interest aswell, if he is out of contract in the summer he can start talking to other clubs in just three weeks time!

[/quote]I get the distinct impression Crofty could be one of those loyal type who would''nt wish to go anywhere.  Keep the faith.

[/quote]I forgot about Chadwick, Eagle and Lappin, though none of them are a real loss other than that I fell we could of sold Chadwick and Lappin last summer and got some much needed cash!Eagle - not sure what GR is doing there, gave him a new contract and has he even made the bench yet?

I really can''t see us letting Crofty go. As for the rest of that list CA I think all will disappear.

Crofty will stay dont you worry

This story smacks of Croft''s agent trying to jack up the size of the contract offer.

All smoke and mirrors if you ask me

Gordon Ramsay might if Delia doesn''t get there first - wonder what he tastes like with capers - Asda''s finest of course.
