Jimmy & Joe To Sign New Contracts

[stony]

Unfortunately, that sort of forgiveness has to come from a greater entity than myself.

Hmmm,where is Gordon tonight?

Lurking mainly, having just finished packing for a week away. My girlfriend cannot understand my insouciance to the fact we are flying in a few hours and thinks I should have packed days ago, which is utterly ridiculous. If you want a bloke who does his packing in advance go out with a fucking accountant.

You need a valet to do this sort of menial work for you.

She's already moaning about my general air of indolence. Not sure a valet is the solution to that particular complaint. Besides it's a ten minute job.

We're reluctant to give him 4 years because what little pace he already possesses will be gone by 34.

We could always sign him on a four year deal, but send him off to NYCFC for a swansong after three years.

We could always give him 4 years, then sell him in the summer to liverpool and get a decent fee, in fact up the wages a bit and get an even better fee from those with all that 'istry.

According to some in the FFP thread, we could probably sell him for £100m to Melbourne if we wanted to.

I was trying to be realistic, but if Carroll was worth £35m, maybe we could get £100m from liverpool ?

Simon Mullock is a Blue, and has good links at the club so I'm more inclined to believe him than other journalists. If it is true then it seems odd from the club; we should just give him a four year deal. We could always sell him after 2/3 years if necessary. With the new TV deal those wages aren't an issue.

If true, it seems very odd indeed. It would suggest that the club aren't overly bothered whether he stays or goes, or whether we get a fee.

Puzzling.

Do we know what signing on fee Milner and his agent are haggling for. Maybe that's another five or ten million quid?

So now it's an extra year?! It was playing time he wanted before, why say it's an extra year now not before? He's stalling to leave on a free.. I want him to stay by the way

I don't think he's saying anything, it's a quite news day.

He doesn't have an agent but this is the key point imo. He knows he's in for a huge signing on fee if/when he signs for a different club so he wants the same from City.
