Three New Contracts (12 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

I’ve said it before on here people are saying Dasilva has been excellent are only judging it on his previous levels not the levels of a decent full back, Boro could see he was the weak link and put Whittaker very wide and Dasilva just left him alone we’re lucky he had a bad game and they don’t feed him that much.

this makes no sense

I thought you might struggle with the longer words but try.

 

[David O'Day]

It's been said a million times and there is no point in going around in circles yet again but JDS has been very good for a large part of the season and the issues he has had are largely tactical and he is doing as asked.

I know there are people on here that will ignore this and just say he is shit but fuck them

 

[Samo]

I'd be surprised if he leaves should we go up

As would I, but it is still just about protecting assets.

This is bollocks.

 

[shmmeee]

All had another year after this, maybe getting pay rises ahead of promotion?

Don’t like how little info the club gives out on contracts and youth these days I seriously doubt in an industry as small as football others don’t know the details if they want to.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Oh the joys of being a well managed football club.

This is terrible news at this rate we will lose our reputation of letting players go for free.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

MVE, JDS and Kitching have all signed new contracts. No info on how long for.

Great news on getting Milan tied down. Not too fussed about the others. Think they were both up end of next season?

Why the fuck have we gave JDS a new contract! This is going to be like getting stuck with Wilson, Bidwell and Allen for seasons all over again

Just protecting assets is all.

Just like Wilson and Bidwell but then nobody wants them and we are stuck with them

Just gives them a little bit of an incentive to get promoted.

 

[Potbellypig]

Just purely out of interest, I'd love to know how much money they're on.

Maybe a little more.motivation, coupled with protecting the assets, certainly for MVE

 

[Adge]

Da Silva has got his weaknesses certainly but he's a decent full back at this level. He's pretty good one on one as he's got a low centre of gravity, solid in the tackle.

But has also been found out numerous times this season at this level. Like others, if we managed to go up he will be out of his depth.
A back up if we reach the the promised land and a position that undoubtedly needs addressing in the summer.

 

[CCFC96]

All 3 top 6 level champ players at a minimum with MvE having a real chance at making the step up to prem. Smart business to sort all 3 out, if we do go up, I imagine Kitching and JDS will likely drop into rotation players but doesn’t mean they won’t be useful.

Nice to be run like a real club.

 

[SleepyGinger]

If we do go up we won’t have any problems moving on Kitching or Dasilva, or any of our squad for that matter.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Absolutely correct!

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Happy with this, all the players have played important roles this season.

 

[jto123]

Buzzing about MVE. The others are good players, but wouldn’t be against getting good money for them.

 

[procdoc]

We wouldn't be where we are without him. He has been excellent this season and had a great game on Monday evening.

Why our we constantly dismissive of our own players?

It’s Cally Fedora, knows as much about football as I do about minute black holes in deep space

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Odd they haven't mentioned the length of the new deals.

 

[Samo]

At which point they cease to be assets and become liabilities.

Bidwell and Allen have been great servants for our club. They have helped us to get where we are and can be relied on when needed. Always train hard and don't complain when not in the side.

If we get promoted this season JDS will be similar. He will have a part to play whenever needed. You can't have a full squad of players that expect to play every game and if we are only going to bring in quality players we won't be able to replace the whole squad.

I’m really not worried about protecting that JDS goes on a free, that whole LB dept needs a revamp.

Couldn't find an Ian Dury Gif, so had to use this one instead. Glad Giphy is back up and running, yesterday was hell! Nearly had to resort to a flick book and a sharpy...

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

If we get promoted, most will go , so best time them down now.

The entire squad needs replacing if we go up. Dasilva has been fine and one of the more consistent players this year.

6ft Dasilva isn’t playing for Wales

Edit: Or us

There's a knob head next to me who slates him at every opportunity
Was quiet Monday until they had an attack down his side 2nd half, not even his man but he was into him again.
I made a vow to my lot that I'd stop having a go at the dickheads around me but this guy is really testing my patience

do you expect the club to just release the details of the contracts?

 

[PVA]

You're telling me that Boro made the unprecedented and totally insane decision to... play a wide player out wide, all because of Jay Dasilva?

 

[shmmeee]

do you expect the club to just release the details of the contracts?

You mean like they always have? Yes?

 

[robbiekeane]

sorry i misunderstood…thought you were talking salary etc…long day…

The same Whittaker who thrives at playing more as an inside forward and is shite as a more traditional wide player? We must have watched a different game buddy because Dasilva handled him well and our tactics were set up to perfections to limit Boro’s threat

You need a buyer for that
