AJ gets a new deal but NDJ waits on???

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Surely something is wrong here, there is talk of AJ on the verge of singing a new deal whereas it has been reported that no contract talks will take place mid-season with regards to NDJ.

NDJ is essential to the cause City.....sign him up up City and sort it out!

Again he is not essential to City anymore. He is part of a squad and defo not the first name on the team sheet like he was last year

Nigel could be demanding 6 figures a week. Im sure Adams deal isn't/won't be nearly as lucrative.

He hasnt been in negotiation that long, Hart took aroung 12 months to agree a deal. He has a long time left on his contract, no big rush at all.

Nigel thinks he is worth xxx and the club will have another figure. Its called negotiation, City wont let £20m pounds worth of talent walk out the dor for free.

I disagree, just because he is not the first name on the team sheet does not mean he is not essential to us just as SG, Ya Ya, ED, MB etc... and the list goes on, all our top players are essential and NDJ is right up there at the top.

Nigel could be demanding 6 figures a week. Im sure Adams deal isn't/won't be nearly as lucrative.

I hope that this is what its all about...

Ah ok thanks for enlightening me

Nige isn't essential, he thinks he is, that's why he's demanding an extortionate wage, and that's the reason he hasn't been granted a new contract.

We seem to be getting on quite well in his absence this season so therefore he isn't essential is he?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

He will be when the African Cup of Nations starts.

No worries on Nige's contract. all will be sorted in due course and he will be extending.

We have not won the league yet and by the end of the season he will have earned the tag - 'essential' I am sure.....<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 16, 2011 7:12 pm --<br /><br />

Disagree, he is essential but the club is right to hold tough negotiations :)
