Excellent news on top of the many positive steps the Club have taken on field in the last 2 or 3 months.
Just hope it isn't the pre-cursor to any further off field dramas that will kick us all in the teds.

Better to not tie him down and let him bugger off for a minimal fee?

I'm surprised it took 39 posts for that to be dropped into the thread!

Great news, and it shows some ambition!
I wonder how many of the 18 chances we created last Saturday he would of converted. still as some on hear would say, he's too young and inexperienced to be given a chance, let's carry on with our shit strikers and somehow expect them to change.
Although a cursory glance at their career stats would suggest that's unlikely.

Well, all I can do is echo similar sentiments to many others, give the lad a chance MR.
A few 30 minute cameos as sub will start him off nicely. It's Ponti's time to shine, before he's inevitably sold.

But I keep getting told we are smart to only offer one year deals to kids who aren’t first team regulars and that this is just another David Bell situation where we waste money.

Who on earth keeps telling you this is the same as us offering a 4 year deal to david bell ?

Great news and well done to the Football Club which isn't SISU.
Even greater news is that I'm in the top five of the prediction league, life is good

Who told you that? Duggins, Mutton, Lucas? You need to get out of the office more.

Good move. Gives the kid some security and means if other teams want him the club are in a stronger bargaining position.
Despite his potential I doubt he is on anything like the wages David Bell was on. So 2, 3 or 4 year contracts for kids who have development and sell on potential, although not void of risk, are a more sensible investment of the budget in my opinion.

Now time to give the kid a chance in the first team to see what he can do

I think length of contract increases value

Will be watching out for your scores Rev. Wonder if Nick will be putting up a bottle of Scotch as the prize this year?

Fair enough if that’s your opinion. As I say though imo length of contract is just bargaining power. So we set our price and they pay. The only time that decreases is in the last 12 months. Which we won’t have to worry about for 2 years
