| Quote: The Hollywood Frasier "Surprised that he has got a 2 year deal whoever his agent is has done a great job getting him that.'" maybe his second year isnt worth so much and a testimonial (sp) swayed him to stay and to boost his wages on his second year? Allthough he could have 1 if he had gone to rovers i think he will get far more people at kc

Bang on the money - IMHO.
Maybe he's on a reduced terms playing contract.,topped up
by a coach's salary for the u15's.??
Could they do same for Webster??

| i'm happy - radford is a loyal black n white, plenty of experience and he's tough and a demon in defence
we've lost cusack and dowes and we need an english forward given the quota reduction. apart from fielden/LMS there's not much out there available better than radford IMO
would rather keep radders than dowes and we can't afford to lose 'em both. Agar has said a few times recently that we are going for a more rigid salary structure implying that radford is in adherence to this new policy therefore we probably shouldn't whinge about his salary either

We had it last year with Sam Moa and now this year with Radford.

I dont think they would in this situation either

| Well with all the rumours going around, I think is by far the best outcome. I would have been shocked if we had signed him but it seems most on here are happy with his re signing.

The decision to keep Moa was undoubtedly the correct one.

| Quote: Eric The Viking "I don't know what the problem ever was about him getting two years? People like Wilf bleating on that his body will be shot to bits is a load of sh&te. He's really fit, trains hard and his injury record is almost none existent. Look at players like Menzies who is still doing the business and a couple of years oldern than Lee.
I'm dissappointed Rovers never got him to be honest, will do a solid job for you lot for the two years he's contracted.'"
I'll continue to bleat on then and talk some more of that brown stuff that despite the fact it runs up and down your ground all season never makes the grass any greener....he will be fine next year, not sure about the one after that though, no different than what I said when Rovers made him an offer. One of his major strengths is off the field in the dressing room anyway. As Justine said last night he is a quality player and good to have in the middle of the field. I expect that we have kept to our offer, which was not as big as some others, but made it two years and not one and offered some coaching which he was after.
Now talking to the more civilised officianado's, it was interesting when he talks about Rich's plans for the future and does anyone else wonder if now we should withdraw our offer to Dowesey and try and get some new blood at prop?

| Quote: BlackNwhite "Im not sure what radfords is on at all. People seem to have a real beef about players like radford,dowes and yak. Alot of fans seem to dismiss them as second rate forwards as the dont do what james graham does or they are not top tackle breakers. In these times of salery caps players like these are in fact a massive part of the makeup of a squad. When times are hard and yards are hard to come by these guys do stick the hard work in, making carries taking pressure off other forwards. Im happy that he has signed and a bit like tickle, gives us a stability to our team.
I know he has his faults, at times, but so do other players. People talk of the young lads learning from long, fitz and so on. I think alot of the young lads can and will learn alot from what lee does on and off the pitch.'"
The thing is, how many do? Totally agree that there's is much value in players of the Radford/Dowes mould. Our problem in recent years has not been that we've had such players, just the amount we've had. The balance is beginning to be redressed IMO.

Dont think thats the rational at all. I think it's more a case of there been no one else out there. We offered Radders a 1 year deal while we were having talks with LMS and Fielden. Once we knew that neither was coming we realised we had to up our offer to keep Radders. Nothing to do with Rovers or the HDM imo.

| Would rather have kept Dowes if that's what this means, don't think he's got 2 years in him. Will be happy to be proved wrong.

I would respectfully disagree. I think he showed enough last season to indicate that he would be worth at least two years.
