Vestergaard

[Gravel]

Just waiting for Ward's extension to be posted now🙄

[Samilktray]

I’m hearing on the grapevine that Vestergaards camp aren’t happy he didn’t get a flashy announcement video for his new contract. One to keep an eye on this is

[RowlattsFox]

Imagine this was made weeks ago and we are just waiting for him and Vardy to come back of their holidays.

 

Interesting if Jannik now regrets this. But a 3 year contract is not all bad  whoever the manager is. 

 

Should never have been 3 years, even if Enzo planned on staying.

I've got nothing else to say so I'm gonna hand it over to Nige 

[Madelin21]

3 years!!!! Absolutely ridiculous! Whoever is making these decisions needs to be sacked.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Depends on the terms of the deal, he may have taken a significant wage drop in return for longer term security. If he can replicate his form from last season I have no issue at all with it. 
 

I have a feeling he will play an important role for us, all in all a good dependable pro who was hung out to dry by Rodgers and as soon as he was shown a modicum of trust and belief was excellent. 
 

However if we have committed to similar wages to his last contract and extended by 3 years then I tend to agree that we have learnt absolutely nothing.

I thought this was a wind up.  3 years  

 

Just waiting for Ryan Bertrand to be announced

[Muzzy_no7]

F’in hope he’s on 30-40K a week and not 80-90 like previous 

[Groby_Blue]

Surely the three year deal is so we can hike his transfer fee up when Chelsea come calling for him??

[Pliskin]

Does Stevie Wonder write the contracts up?

It’s not ideal but we’re in a corner really. Offer him less and he’s little incentive to sign on. Then we yet another player to replace on a shoestring budget

Indeed. It is what is is, we don’t have the budget to be spending fees on loads of players. Whether the new man wants to play a certain way or not is frankly inconsequential at this moment in time.
 

We desperately need bodies, we are already likely losing: Albrighton, Ndidi, Iheanacho, Praet. On top of actually needing some other players and replacing the loans of Doyle and Casedei.

 

Losing him would mean another player we need to buy, more money, time and resources bringing someone in. And if anyone mentions Nelson again, we already had him, he was already in the squad. Using him isn’t replacing a player, whether he’s good or rubbish.

[fazzyfox]

Would he have rejected a 2 year? Doubt it so why 3? What with all that intense competition for his signature. Or is it just making sure we have enough players already on the books to get through the next 3 transfer embargo’s! Three years ?

Life under Top and Jon Rudkin. I despair.

I know it's one player but it shows in a nutshell why they need to go. 3 years for a guy who's clearly not worth it (debate if 1 year is even worth it) and more crazily, done when there's no new manager in post.

 

Gross mismanagement

[winteriscoming]

Shouldn’t be that surprised when the club gave Hamza a 4 year deal last season whose at best is a mid table  championship player. 
Dreading who we end up with as manager with these clowns in charge. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Three years !

Now we know which charity the £25 ST charge has gone towards

Stand by... 

[SkidsFox]

We had to do it. Rumours that Chelsea were going to swoop and offer him a seven year deal...  

 

Ok, that is fantasy. But the reality is we've given Vesty a new three year deal.  I'm giving up trying to make sense of all this.

[JimmyC74]

Rudders at the wheel….

I am sure he has learned from his mistakes *cough*

Yet the foxestalk overlords still delete my posts and ban me from posting because I won't grass up my source

It isn’t going to be the same money. Everyone knows, agents and players that clubs now have the 85% spend restrictions.

 

It’s the perfect opportunity for everyone to pull back on wages, with the perfect excuse and everyone is in the same boat. So any other offers are all going to drop as well

If he's halved his wages then that's fair enough but if he's taken a big cut, he could still be on £60k or something silly.

 

It's a 31 year that has massively struggled in this division in the past, so it's most likely a crap deal

[CaliFOXnia]

Seriously, this football club deserves everything it gets. 

Ran by complete f*****g mongols, seemingly hellbent on outdoing themselves year on year in the internal "Stupidest F******g Decision" awards. 

I'd like to say I'm gobsmacked, but I'm not anymore. Par for the course for Top and Co.

[fox_favourite]

Vesty on 3yrs?! Good lord that's a clanger. Deserves another 1yr with an option, but 3?!

Mental decision on the length of his deal. We've learnt nothing.

3 years is a sensible length provided his wages are not super high. If he does well it means we are not having to renegotiate with him again next year/ can get some money for him if he decides to move on

[lcfc sheff]

3 years isn’t bad as long as he isn’t on a fortune. Also suggests (hopefully?) that’ll well be playing a similar style next season otherwise it’s kind of stupid
