And that will play a big part in any decision. So Robbored, what have you done with Italian Dave? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 17 hours ago, GrahamC said: Logic says that we don’t offer him anything but I just have a feeling that Pearson rates him & that if he’s willing to take a big pay cut it’s not yet a definite no. Could be wrong but he’s currently the only one out of contract this summer that I’m not sure which way it will go. Think he has to play at least 6 games and end season on a high to be in with a chance of a contract . It’s clear that Pearson really likes him & coupled with the fact that his girlfriend lives next door to her parents in their Long Ashton home, then there are other factors that may lead to him taking a reduction. Has to play though to even have a chance of an offer but think personally he stays if he proves fitness and accepts reduction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiesaffer Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Think a deal has already been offered to Kalas IMO, even though he’s has a tough time with injury’s, the medical team with all the technology available to them know how serious these are or not. Why would we delay an offer when they have the facts. If season tickets are stuttering due the economic climate, Kalas resigning would probably boost those sales.

I think Kalas re-signing might boost them more. Yours sincerely, A. Pedant. Edited March 31, 2023 by italian dave 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that will play a big part in any decision. Very true. Thanks to our friend wiki, a check on his playing career shows a good record games played. This last 12 months have been hard luck for him with two injuries in a row, but if the medical team believe with confidence he will certainly overcome them he has to be worth a contract offer. I believe a fit Kalas is the best defender at the club and was he not our record signing. We watch with interest but I suspect a deal will be on the table (similar to NW scenario). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted something similar a while ago after he was being called a sicknote. He has a very good record for us, but a bit like Baker, because of the type of defenders that they are/were, they are more likely to get knocks. Remember his broken jaw? It didn't help change the views of the sicknote labellers mind, so I just gave up in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't actually remember who it was, mind you I think there's probably a lot more that Watkins wishes he couldn't remember from his latter days here, especially if the rumours about Nige finding him hiding were true! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spelling, punctuation and grammar are so important. It could mean the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit....or between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse or helping your uncle jack off a horse! As for Kalas - everything will come down to what his bottom line is. I think we'd want him to stay, but there won't be any formal contract offer if his expectations and our ours are too far apart. Everything will be have been informal chats until that's known. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we can be giving him 2/3 years off the bat, not unless there are some very sensible break clauses. A fit Kalas is an asset to us. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I think that just because of the way he has played the game he isnt destined for a long career into this mid 30s… the year out injured must mean offering another multiple year contract is a big risk, and he would still be a top earner even if his salary was cut in half. Im not sure he would make the difference for us in the championship if he played every game. For me he ought to be released,,, and dasilva too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Think he will end up in the Bundesliga. Still 29 and an international player, can't see him or his agent agreeing to take a massive wage cut to stay here when he could still get a decent wage elsewhere. Would be a different situation if he was 32/33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he ought to be released,,, and dasilva too Look at when Weimann was injured, and what he was offered at the time. If Kalas has a similar mindset, wage requirements etc, then it could easily be a similar deal. As for not making a difference, I beg to differ. Atkinson, Naismith and Kalas in the same side would give a lot of sides a hard time, and the strikers a lot to think about. When Kalas has been back in the side, it's no coincidence that we've looked better at the back. Edited March 31, 2023 by Taz Sorry, forgot Vyner. After his showings this season he's not going to be dropped either!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
