New player contracts (1 Viewer)

[KersleyDigs]

I see the new contracts for Wilson and Christie are yet to materialise...

If Otium want to convince the fans they really are in it for the "long haul"' then they need to secure these players on longer deals. I am dreading losing Christie on a bosman, like Gunnarrson and Westwood, this would be a travesty and further anger the City fans!

As a minimum, (recognising that Cyrus may not be realistic) they must to tie up the following players for at least the next three seasons, and soon:

Wilson, Fleck, Thomas, J Clarke, Willis, Daniels

I'm sure this is at the forefront of most supporters minds, the more exposure our young players get from good performances, the more the vultures will circle over head...

They will go whether they sign or not, this season or next season. No fans no money. Wether we like it or not that is the way it will eventually go if we stay in Northampton.

What do people think about Murphy? Worth tying down? Too expensive? I believe his contract is up in the summer too.

Willis and Jordan Clarke have already both signed 3 year deals

Bit at least we will get a bigger fee, rather than nothing. Where that fee goes tho is a completely different story.

Worth keeping. He's a Champ level keeper imo.

agreed. but how old is he?

31 I believe, so not too old for a keeper, worth a 2 year contract at least, though he's probably one of our highest paid players.

hmmm :/ its one of those, do we keep what we know, or get in a decent 25/26 year old from lower leagues?
