RT's Vaseline Tub Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Why haven't the club offered Josh an extended contract as yet? He started slowly but now a cracking player and at a age where offering him improved terms is a no brainer especially with loads of Prem clubs sniffing around. Come on Ashton sort it out!

Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Don't need to if we have an option. In any case I expect to hear of one well before January. Right now we are signing and selling, imagine contract negotiations start next week up and down the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT's Vaseline Tub Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Could have extended it any time really, e.g. over the Summer; would have been much better than leaving negotiations until the last minute with clubs hovering around to get him on the cheap & well below true market value. bit strange when everyone else that's done well has been rewarded in the past like Flint & Bryan with extensions to name but 2.

Loco Rojo Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 We always seem to do this don't we? We're very good at getting the youth players signed on to longer deals but when it comes to the first team players it feels like we leave it too late. Fingers crossed talks have been ongoing and news will come out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browhill's agent I imagine in August is simply minded for deals and cuts if transfer fees for his clients, whereas in our side too I expect MA would have been busy on incoming and outgoings.

I'm struggling to think of many others since Liam Rosenior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best bit of business we have done, but still not losing him for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comments were reflecting my view of how it has felt (to me) in the past. Plus, my first scentance was a question. Should have put a disclaimer at the bottom.

Robbored Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 It's an unfamiliar position for me to take on players contracts but I actually trust LJ when it comes to who he recommends to MA for contract talks. I also trust MA to negotiate the right deal for the club and the player. The club is in good and professional hands right now and if Brownhill or any other young player isn't offered a new deal then they'd be a damn good reason for it.
