Eccles signed a new deal last season whilst on loan at Gillingham (I think)
Jamie Allen signs new Contract (6 Viewers)

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?

Contract signings like this and Godden really show we are limiting our potential growth as a championship club

Money is limiting our potential. Simple fact is we don’t have any, and if we manage to acquire any. SISU will make sure it is swallowed up in management charges.

It sounds like allen is one of the players who is setting the standards in training. Also the fight he has shown getting himself off the transfer list and into the starting line up is admirable. Hes a good character to have in the squad. I also cannot imagine hes on that much.

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 massive
Don’t care what others said the last few games he’s played or come on as sub he’s been okay.
We haven’t the money to splash around our owner wouldn’t allow it.
Allen at 26 on a two year extension is nothing.

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.

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 think you're right G
Kane isn't on big wages either
He came here bacuse he wanted to play
QPR didn't have a queue of takers and their manager wanted him off the premises

Not aimed at you Herts!
Gyo has proved lots of doubters wrong; and in my view so has Allen this season.
Message was not about being any less of a fan and was not intended to read that way - but I do think Robins deserves the benefit of the doubt in these judgment calls given his fantastic record of evolving the squad - and without a huge amount of cash to throw around.

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.
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.

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.

A lot less than Walker cost us.
In Kane's case QPR just wanted him off the wage bill.

Your fully entitled to your opinion and unlike yourself I will keep it friendly and respectfully disagree.
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.

yes it says Wesley Jobello is worth £220k and hillsner the same.

Yes it is but you could pay a lot more and get a lot worse than Allen. The thing that has made this team is group togetherness rather than individaual talent. The never say die attitude has been outstanding with so many late goals.
PS Grendel used to post on how spending money didnt correlate to getting better players. This season he has switched horses (something he has done numerous times before on various topics) and is complaining about lack of investment.

Was Kelly not a new two year deal at the end of last season?

Well on that basis, given those two are next worthless my 200k valuation is probably not a million miles away.

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.

Players like him will leave with their heads held high and in Kelly's case especially having helped to drag the club up from the basement. At the same time the club has to move on so those who take his place can help write a new chapter

I suspect it's not accurate in all cases. Jobello at 200k is clearly overvalued and at anything less than a million + for Sheaf is being underrated. My only point has always been that Allen is not worth zero pounds and zero pence. To say otherwise in my view is slightly strange given the money that, even during a pandemic, has changed hands in the lower leagues for players less accomplished than Allen. Regardless, your entitled to have your opinion.
