I'd have to agree with this, his time has been, its all well and good playing well for two big games a year, but what about the other 30 or so

Give him a Ten year contract the man is a Saints Legend some of you have very short memories indeed.

No room for sentimentality.

Make it 9 years then.

TBH, I wouldnt even give him a one year contract based on his performances so far. Imagine the cap space we will have with him off the wage bill. As Ski said, no room for sentiment. Hes been a fantastic player, but his performances this season arent warranting him being offered a new contract imo.

I think you should give Long and Cunningham new 5 year deals.

Not sure the team be the same withotu Longy in it, or around it. The wage will decrease and we retain the legend that is Sean Long, unless he fancies a stint at Fev Rovers along side his buddy Iestyn

I'd love to see him got to Celtic for a couple of seasons. Get a nice pay check, and help them grow. But there is now no rooms for him at Saints, we need to start moving on.

If he did go have an Indian Summer in Wales, it would be great when he came back to play us we would sing (well we wouldn't because we don't sing anymore) his name once again to remind him how much we love him.

I think you need a hobby.

Our new 22yr old signing ruining your "dads army" claims??

Doesn't only half of Longs salary count towards the salary cap?

If that's the case, then would we be able to find a player of that quality, for that amount of money?

How? you are allowed an extra £50k for a player who has had over 10yrs service, but we could use that on wello just as easily

Spot on Longy this year has done nothing to warrant a new contract let alone one for 2yrs
He needs to look at his kicking for a start woefull

Long and KC are both Saints legends, however there comes a time with all players when its time to hang up the boots, or take a step down in intensity.

Chris Joynt was a legend at Saints but knew when to quit and didnt spoil his copy book.

I would hate for Long and KC to fall for the boxers trick of playing on and end up diminishing their immense reputations.

Both can still do it and raise themselves for the big games, but the week in week out intensity does take its tole, and has shown on a number of times this year, when the players have put in performances that are out of character.

At this stage i certainly think Saints cannot afford to offer Long a 2 year contract. At most i would offer him a one year deal, but realistically even that is pushing it.
Its a similar scenario to Willie Talau. Willie could still do the business but sometimes you have to plan for the future and take hard decisions. Remember as a result of Willie going, we have managed to give Chris Dean and Gary Wheeler the opportunity to show their wares.
Wheeler in particular looks a star in the making, and although not yet as capable as Willie, offers the potential in a year or two to be a better player.

KC for me should go out at the top as a legend. Therefore finish at the end of this year.

But it's only for one player per team.
