Popular Post Lrrr Posted December 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Probably a case of Nahki being the type of personality Pearson wants around the group, evidenced by last season being out of the first team wanting to play 21’s to prove himself rather than grumbling about not being in the team and being a positive influence and role model for younger members of the squad 39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Brilliant. Imagine there’ll be some huge savings in wages as a result too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that video with Scott and Conway that they put out last week, Tommy mentioned how much he'd learnt from Nahki, not just playing together in the U21/3s but from spending most of last season on the bench with him and how professional he was about not playing when he could have sulked and kicked up a stink about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Personally I was really looking forward to getting him off the wages… but I’ve got to say he’s been nothing but the model professional even when playing in the U23’s… a well earned deal. Fair play. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Good video, apart from the white socks! Nahki’s form this season, and the new contract begs the question, why wasn’t he getting regular starts last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I am sure @Mr Popodopolous, or @Davefevs can give us some idea how this fits into the FFP regarding amortisation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Really happy about this. A complete turnaround for him and he's shown an incredible attitude to get back into contention and become a key player. Fair play to him. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Great news for us. Not many better we could bring in with the cost restraints we are currently under if we did not renew. Model professional, suffered for joining us when we were a shambles but has never shirked or sulked even when unfairly (in my opinion) scapegoated for our abysmal performances. Great partnership with TC which is exciting to watch continue develop over the next two years. Almost certain that Semenyo is gone I would imagine now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Happy with that, we have enough youngsters in that position and need to have some guidance for them and who better than someone who seems to have been playing at this level forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Football eh, funny old game. From Zero to Hero but well a deserved extension Maybe I was wrong to say he was our worst ever signing based on age, wage and length of contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Silvio Dante Posted December 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 The knock on piece is the interesting angle here. On the basis that we’re unlikely to sell Weimann or Conway, and in view of the contract situation, it now seems nailed on that an acceptable bid sees Semenyo gone. Wells and Conway are first choice up top and with Scott and Andi able to play behind, Antoine seems surplus considering what we’d lose in not selling him now. It also shows we’re looking to sort the OOC we want to keep, and which are financially viable. If no news on Bentley, Massengo etc we can also expect them gone - not surprising but just crystallises things. As for NW - totally richly deserved. To change perceptions the way he has through hard work, lack of ego and no little quality is a great story 24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Very good news indeed. He’s been like a new signing this season (and towards end of last actually), bringing the best out of our younger players like Conway as well. Arguably now the player we thought we’d signed. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be right on Bentley and Massengo but I'd not be surprised if decisions our still being made on Dasilva and Kalas based on various factors and we might find out either way on both of those much closer to the end of the season. O'Leary, Vyner and Martin all have options so I imagine there is less of a rush to nail anything down either way with those three either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Options will be taken on Vyner and O’Leary (and FWIW Semenyo) but not on Martin. I can see DaSilva being extended (contract not height although he needs that) - he’s not playing in a position where people pay a premium so reduced terms in line with the market is affordable. Kalas I have no earthly clue. If he’s fit I’d want to keep him - normally there’s no chance but the injuries have obliterated his wage value in the market so I think he may still be affordable at a drastically reduced level. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add someone I trust told me that Nakhi was absolutely brilliant with the first year pros, especially the forwards, always looking to pass on tips & hugely supportive. I must confess I saw his demeanour as poor body language at the start but I was wrong, firstly he genuinely wants to play, secondly he’s really popular in the dressing room with the players & seen as a bit of a spokesman if they need to raise anything with NP. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Ok. Assuming reduced wages (similar to Weimann's re-signing) then fine. Edited December 23, 2022 by ExiledAjax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 He deserves it, has knuckled down when out of the side and delivered when in it. Seems to have worked well wirh Conway. It will save a bit on amortisation and presumably a wage reduction. Otoh he is 32- will be 33 next season and 34 in 2024-25 if still here- at what point will his effectiveness start to wane? Not a reflection on him, happens to all players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Would assume it’s on wages at least 33% less than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
