gissing canary 2 Posted December 9, 2008 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted December 9, 2008 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes the whole Fozzy and Doc saga this summer was a mistake, if key players are able to go on a free i think it forces the management to have to plan for that too, we dont wanna do that, we have 2 good right wingers, so we should be crossing that off as a position we need and focusing on forwards and defenders!
