Whats bugging me is the fact I believe Clark Christie ,Bigi,Thomas and I guess all the new kids get Signed up on Two year deals ,have a season to prove themselves ,and then the wolves are at the door and they're much easier and cheaper to prize away.Why not three year deals like most others ,especially the two French lads ,who for all the scouting mentioned we do not know anywhere near as much about.I am assuming they will be on low wages and its the contract length + strength of sterling that lured them from a Galic lifestyle .We have had a few frenchies here over the years not always capable of adapting to English lifestyle,and if they can't they won't have any resale value ,much like Bell and Baker on the 4yr deals.
If the strategy is to generate our income from selling the youth prospects ,surely a 3yr deal and a year proving makes them more valuable,and god forbid" Want to Hang on to them " we could.
