Welham has not even started negotiations yet

I hope people arn't starting unfounded rumours on here, Its an abomination, never thought i'd see the day

I cant see these contracts having a significant impact on the Cap to affect our recruitment.

I would guess that their money would increment each year rather then being given a big one off rise now.

Obviously this is all speculation and my opinion. We'll never know the true figures. Will we Hutchie?

Surely Fox will see a huge rise as he could probably expect that if he was to go somewhere else

not neccesarily, that could be said about almost every player at every club. Everybody will always want a pay rise. You have to look at present market conditions. Most clubs will be as close to their cap as they can be, and also with the competition been reasonably even across the board, would it benefit him leaving?

Hope its true, but as its you i doubt it

We would like some of our up and coming players to be tied to longer deals. You would like some of your established players to be ooc sooner. C'est la vie.

As players like Welham come through the ranks they will replace our older (many of them overseas) players and be paid more to reflect this. This is something that is generally regarded as a good thing.

Edit: I don't think we'll see too many players coming in from outside the club this year. When you look at who is ooc, promoting from the academy (reserves, whatever) looks like best value.

Hiya Hutchie, thanks for your "privvy" info about OUR club, whats happening at yours????

If Fox's agent cant get him a hefty pay rise then he needs sacking. He signed for rovers as a decent/average player now he is rated as one of the top wingers in the league.There will be plenty of clubs with players leaving at the end of the season to free up the cap space

Most of the talk these days seems to be about retaining existing players, not signing new ones....compare that to some of our rivals

Shows how far we've progressed.
