Some of the problems that are being described with player negotiations - if they are true of course rather than just hearsay - are of the players own making. Whilst it's nice to think that Jimmy would look them in the eye and discuss their future with the club, the reality is that agents now have to be involved in these discussions, which turns them from a quick chat into a formal meeting with several parties involved, all of whom have to coordinate diaries and suchlike.

So, when a fan (rather inappropriately?) asks a player if they're staying next season and the player glibly replies, "I don't know, they haven't talked to me," what he could really mean is, "I don't know - my agent is trying to screw as much money as possible out of several clubs at the moment, so we're spinning plates with all of them to see who comes up with the best offer."

Meanwhile, I agree with the sentiment that whilst Korki has been an enthusiastic contributor to the WTW cause, he's not actually much cop, so I won't be sorry if his loan period expires and he goes elsewhere.

spot on.

Point Taken

You are sort of right with your point, I can understand that we cannot talk to Korki because he is Hudds player but we could simply ask what is plans are for next year with Hudds, if there are no plans or if he is not wanted with Hudds we could simply say once we have a coach in place and needs players in your possition we will put your name forward, Easy....No comitment but knows he's thought of.

As for Morrison I cannot believe it, 100% effort like Korki but has the skill with it, not on big big bucks and I know would be more than happy with playing for us for another year, he ideally want's player coach but would play only for next year. Should we not be keeping players like this, maybe on basic salary and player performance bonus, you know the players that are gonna put there body's on the line, he's one.......

Give him Another year PLEASE....

we'll probably go for hendo over morrison, becasue he has more friends at the club as he's been here longer.

small time attitude = small time club.
