Didn’t he retire a few years ago?!
No, he was playing for Harry's team against the Germans......
That's nice of him not to help out his club who could potentially be facing relegation :/
Yeh, that was my first thought too...
I'd get it a bit more if you were at the tail end of your career in a lower league and you didn't wanna jeopardise what's likely to be your last pro contract (and the necessary financials that came with it), but in such a case as this... Meh... Just extend for a month. Interest from potential suitors will remain the same.
Just a thought though.... Contractually speaking.... If a player's contract ends 30/06/20 (as would be fairly standard), could they play in (eg) the EPL after that if they're since signed with a new club or would they have to wait until the start of the next season to debut.....
We're in an unprecedented situation, but I'm sure player contracts could be written to reflect whatever is desired so long as the league regulations allow it....
Maybe it's the club who want to buy him who have told him not to extend and risk potential injury
I understand both sides of the argument - without a pre-contract (can he sign one in England now?) you are always running the risk of breaking your leg and not getting the move / £££.
As a fan I would be fucked off with the player, if I were the player I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same (3 year contract on £60K p/w is best part of £10M - I would do a lot for £10M)
All that's really happened is the time-frames have shifted.... A similar risk will apply whether the season ends mid May or end of June. The only real diff is that due to a set of on-off circumstances, he's been afforded a get out from that risk.
Time to show a little integrity.... He's just had 3 months pay for doing fuck all.
There's no way Levy would have let a kid not signing a contract play for the 1st team.
Seems by the way the teams are printed he was playing on the left???
And he would have finished his contractual requirements, if he could have done that 3 months earlier he probably would have - you are right but it doesn't change my view.
I don't expect to change your view, fella...
I just think it would be a poor show on his part.
100%, I would also likely do the same. As I said I understand both sides.
He will take pelters from their fans and will have figured that. Over the years he has probably seen clubs get rid of players /friends because it suited them so that also colours his decision making
Rod was American.
Think you mean Rusedski, technically he was Canadian.
Murray is Scottish, doesn't count for some people.
So we're still trying to find a Wimbledon winner. I've just reignited the fun for you again. Thank me later.
FTFY-
Technically he was English... he was actually Canadian.
Thought he looked quite promising from what I saw of him.
I was just winding my mate up that he was going to come here.
From what I have heard he was always second or third choice in the youth setup and got his chance due to injuries (1st team and youth in front of him). He did alright for the few games he played but nothing to show he was going to step up. West Ham were possibly not going to give him a contract before then.
HE has been offered a contract so won't be free but would be cheap. I wouldn't bother myself.
