3 year contract. Big gamble

Happy he’s signed but three years is a risk. I’m guessing that’s how we convinced him to stay but it’s a long contract for a man of his age.

3 years is nuts at his age BUT after last season he deserves it. Without him we'd have been struggling to stay up.
Like arsehole said that's the reason he's stayed, he'd have been offered 2 years on better money by a few I imagine.

Yep.. 3rd season is a risk but if we go up be worth it. Fair play to them getting it done ✅

Three years was obviously what was needed to get him to sign. Definitely a risk but fair play for doing it and taking the gamble. Better than our usual trick of offering bob all and signing a replacement with "a point to prove".

We'd have got away with a 2 year extension deal if we'd done it around December time. Wouldn't want to upset the other lads that weren't getting a new contract for Xmas though. 😞

Thing is, it would have been a PR disaster for the club if he left for a 2 year deal somewhere else in L2. Fans, and not just us, would have gone nuts - especially as the Doyle and Vaughan debacles still linger in the memory.

Not as concerned about the age, given that he's remotely been a quick player for us. It's certainly not like signing Scannell after his legs had gone but we need somebody else.
HOWEVER. Rumour is that both Wrexham and a League one team were after him, so concerned we might have spunked the budget on him
