Eccles signed a new deal last season whilst on loan at Gillingham (I think)
Eccles signed a new deal last season whilst on loan at Gillingham (I think)He deserved a new deal and not just because of his effort. He has improved his game and stepped up to the level we are now at. He is probably the fittest in the squad but is now putting it together with other aspects of his game. He adds to the squad and is a nice player to pin down and to add to.
Be interesting to see who is next, I would imagine Eccles, Jones and Macfazden are in talks. I would offer all new deals with Eccles getting a long term one.
Are you suggesting Allen, a player who has played a fair amount of games in the championship for a team nearer the business end rather than basement of the league has no re-sale value?
The same people complaining about contract extensions would be up in arms if there was a mass exodus of the squad as contracts ran off and blame Robbins for poor planning.
One thing Robbins has been brilliant at is to continuously evolve and improve the squad - if he thinks Allen is good enough to continue with us on that journey- more than good enough for me vs. some of the “experts“ on here.
Rumoured to be 750,000He certainly hasn’t no. How much do you think he’d be worth? Todd Kane played 200 plus games in the championship - how much did he cost again?
But that is what the usual number of certain fans on here do and from now when he plays they will be on his case like a rash, monitoring every loose pass, let’s be honest a two year contract at 26 isn’t massiveAllen has showed some class this year… I like him and just don’t get the negativity
is this a joke?Rumoured to be 750,000
is this a joke?
You're lumping together a player who is a first choice and has one of the best scoring rates in the division with one who is an occasional starter here.Contract signings like this and Godden really show we are limiting our potential growth as a championship club
Not sure if I count as one of your 'experts'. I never claim to be anything other than a fan, and one who has opinions purely based on what I see in matches. Of course Robins knows far more than all of us.The same people complaining about contract extensions would be up in arms if there was a mass exodus of the squad as contracts ran off and blame Robbins for poor planning.

Simple incompetence on my side BSB to be honest - not for the first time!Every night is Christmas Eve in his house-waiting for a sack that never comes
Is your misspelling of Robins deliberate?
I think you're right GI thought it was a nominal fee I’ve not heard that quoted anywhere
Not aimed at you Herts!Not sure if I count as one of your 'experts'. I never claim to be anything other than a fan, and one who has opinions purely based on what I see in matches. Of course Robins knows far more than all of us.
I continue to be unconvinced that Allen is effective as a Championship player. As I said I hope he proves me wrong as Gyokeres did.
It doesn't make me less of a fan that I think some players are better than others and some are not quite good enough. Surely there must be players you aren't sure about? Otherwise why don't we win the league every season?
I would guess about 200k. Todd Kane!?! QPR wanted him off their wage bill and there were interpersonal issues too. On that basis the comparison was a poor choice. We also do have a number of worthless players in our squad that we would release for nothing but Allen is not one of them and the new deal suggests Robins is of that view.He certainly hasn’t no. How much do you think he’d be worth? Todd Kane played 200 plus games in the championship - how much did he cost again?

For clarity, to get to where we want to be Allen should be no more than 4th or 5th choice and I don't rate him that highly but worthless, no.
Seen some stupid comments on here...but fuck me THIS! LolContract signings like this and Godden really show we are limiting our potential growth as a championship club
A lot less than Walker cost us.He certainly hasn’t no. How much do you think he’d be worth? Todd Kane played 200 plus games in the championship - how much did he cost again?
Your fully entitled to your opinion and unlike yourself I will keep it friendly and respectfully disagree.Clueless

Here is a link to a transfer market website where they evaluate player values. They think he is worth 450k, I said 200k as I don't think he is that good but there you go.

Another cheap and cheerful solution then. Let’s extend Shipley as well.
Fair to say not an overwhelming extension but has proved his worth as a squad player in and around the first xi.
I doubt we would have bust the bank with this contract extension and he is pretty versatile.
I also expect to see with him extended Kelly released at end of this season - a bit meh but I do not have a real problem with this extension as I do think he has kicked on a bit this season.
Well on that basis, given those two are next worthless my 200k valuation is probably not a million miles away.yes it says Wesley Jobello is worth £220k and hillsner the same.

We’ve had to keep Allen on G until we bring in £70m for O’Hare...budgets etcI thought it was a nominal fee I’ve not heard that quoted anywhere
Deserves it tbh mate he’s looked good this season,I don’t think he’s on silly money eitherIt's just a case of Allen has worked hard and the management have changed their mind
You might be right on Kelly & contract but think he will be moved on at the end of the season.
Been a great servant but I think that it will probably be the best decision.
Not really as it rates Sheaf the same as Allen
