Silvio Dante Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 As expected - and a four year deal I’d wager is longer than we’d have offered. Best for all parties and good luck to him. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Wish him nothing but luck, 4 year contract isn't to be sniffed at in the current climate so plenty of security for him and his family 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yep, both Dasilva and Palmer on wages that no longer support their squad status. In Kasey’s case, we took a short term hit financially to move him on. In Jay’s case, he wanted more than we were willing to offer. Showed a good attitude here despite knowing he was off, and I very much expect Cov have offered more than we were going to in terms of both term and wages. Fair play to both. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Good move for all concerned. We’ve got a far more strict wage structure than when the lad joined and in our position if we’re going to pay big money to a player they need to be a game changer. With respect to Jay he’s a good left back at the level but not that good particularly when we have Pring making big strides, 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s stretching it a bit but what I will say is KP’s main achievement in football is likely to be the security he provides his family over actual football achievements which is a shame given his raw ability. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wonder if the wage probably isn't that much more than what we'd offer, but it's offset by a 4 year deal when we'd be looking at 2 or 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Bloody hell what are Cov doing offering players 4 year deals? That's insane. Especially as Jay isn't THAT good. Considering what they've been through in the past you'd think they would be a bit more financially prudent. I guess they couldn't afford his wages over 3 years so have spread it out over 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Fair play to Jay. Done well to get a 4 year contract elsewhere. He’s a good player but we clearly don’t give out contracts like that anymore. I hope it works out for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
