according to SSN waiting for new bid from huddersfield apparantly I reckon reject all bids and let him leave on a free next year another example of player power poor show yids imo
Not sure Yids has done anything wrong. He is honouring his contract and simply declined a new one. Its up to the club if they sell him of keep him to his contract. He could of course do a Winnall, force it and then i think the 'poor show' bit is right. So far its seems more of a Poor Show from the club with the outs vs ins. But we will find out next week
I believe Wagner has said he's going with what he's got for now, so it looks unlikely that he's going to offer more for Yids at this time. That situation might of course change as the new season approaches. Ross Barkley has refused an new contract of £120k a week at Everton and Koeman has said that he has probably priced himself out of a move by his excessive demands and has added that far as he is concerned Barkley can play for the reserves until his contract is up and that his career at Everton is effectively over. Is that an approach to be applauded or do you continue to include a player in your team in the knowledge that his heart is not really in it.?
poor show on yids part as it leaves us 1 week to find a replacement as our track record is to sell when he could have told us weeks ago he wasn't going to sign new deal
I wish more clubs would take a stand like this with players. I hope Everton stick to their guns but I suspect they will back down.
Why though? It's pathetic on the employer's part. If it worked like that at normal jobs and I'd agreed to teach somewhere on a 3 year contract (the length decided and advertised by them by the way) and then after I'd been there 2 years they called me in and said they'd like to keep me there longer but I fancied a change and said I'd rather just stay the 3 years as originally planned, I wouldn't expect them to say 'well, I'm not giving you a class next year, you can be a TA and rot in Reception for a year'. It's even stupidier if they then continued to pay me a teacher's salary whilst using me as a TA for that year. Not wanting to sign a new deal is all Yids has done as far as we know. Obviously it's different if he's trying to force a move now (just like in the example above it would be wrong for me to say I wouldn't teach properly unless they let me leave) but if he just wants to finish his 3 years and move on then that's up to him. Then, if he does go earlier, the club has agreed to it and been paid handsomely to let him do so. People always seem to associate not wanting to sign a new contract as acting like billy big b*llocks and refusing to play.
Totally agree (NB the length of contract we, foolishly, gave him to start with was 2 years). According to a person who should know, he 'behaved fantastic' when our bids didn't meet Barnet's valuation and they kept hold of him for a year. http://www.times-series.co.uk/sport...he_could_leave_Barnet_in_January_last_summer/
I was talking about Everton and what they're doing with Barkley. Players holding a club to ransom and demanding astronomical salaries is bad for the game and at some point somebody has to take a stand. I really don't think your analogy is right; the world of football and the world we work in are very different. The two scenarios are not comparable. Player / agent power has to be reigned in.
So, many a player outgrows his club, or at least becomes sought after and attracts interest. A good number of those players tend to extend their contracts, enabling the club to get a better deal. But at Barnsley, this seldom ever happens. Now, Yiadom will be gone soon, even if he signs a new deal. He'll be bought, end of. So why the constant reluctance to sign an extension form every player who shows a bit of promise? Are we offering terms so far below the market value that players don't want to know? Or are we too small a club for players to show respect to or want to sign an extension with? I get the money argument. Of course players want to move and get higher wages. But there just seems this utter reluctance to extend contracts at Barnsley, even now with players who have only been here a year and excelled for 2/3 of that time.
I would have thought very few players sign contracts knowing other clubs are after them as it would surely enhance their own personal terms. If the players wanted to I dare say their agents would be banging on the door,
It must be. I'm not naiive, I get that if Connor Hourihane is offered mega bucks at Villa, he's off. Same with Winnall. Stand out players will often refuse contract extensions if they feel it'll hinder a move. But when a player only completes one season, in which he only began to excel half way through, then won't sign an extension, it makes you wonder if anyone actually wants to play for us. Player power maybe, but when you develop someone who has jumped up two leagues, I'd like to think at least one or two would be willing to at least sign a new deal before they rush off elsewhere.
All boils down to getting the contracts right when we first sign them. If we are payig oeanuts when we get then why not get them on longer deals or have option of extra years. Serms we want to take the risk at buying in unknown talent and trying to polish em up but not willing to back themselves to get it right.
Oh god yaaaaaaaaaaaawn I'm so bored let him fu_k off their all fuc__g mersonaries.The time when you had a professional footballer who really cared about the club they play for long gone I'm afraid gone
Adam Hammill, Angus MacDonald, Adam Davies... Just off top of my head. Edit: Bit of thinking about it and looking beyond first team: Josh Kay, Jared Bird, Dylan Mottley-Henry, Jamie Clapham (not a player but still). There's always going to be players who move on, of course there are but you're over egging it a bit with your 'seldom ever happens', 'constant reluctance', 'utter reluctance' etc. That's 6 players and a coach all within a year.
Koeman of Everton when asked on a Sky interview a couple of days ago about Barkley said he wanted to go so they will let him. If there are no acceptable offers and he is with them at the season start he will train with first team and still be an Everton player and hence available to play given that he still has a year of the contract to run. He expected the club and player to remain professional.
Not read majority of these posts (and not gunna) but my view is 'get thi Sen off lad' I fuckin love this player but ****** to thi pal. Am mad as **** wi players that always think they are bigger and better than us. We made most of them the players they are now. Selfish cnuts only look at that fararri or 12 bedroomed house they av drove past. Aaarrrrgghhh
What has yiadom actually done wrong? He hasn't handed in a transfer request. He hasn't refused to play. He hasn't been disruptive. If this rumour is to be believed then all he has done is said that he doesn't want to sign a new contract tying him to the club on the wages we have offered for even longer than the year he already has on the deal. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. For a start we have no idea what offer the club made. We also have no idea what league we will be in next season. What I do know is that if I was a player of his quality and I saw how short term we as a club think and how piss poor we were up front I would be VERY reluctant to sign up for next year as there is a good chance that doing so is tying him to a league one bound club. That isn't being greedy it is being sensible with his career. If we can't match the big teams on wages we have to try to tempt players to sign in other ways and constantly selling the assets and banking the cash for a rainy day is hardly showing ambition is it. It wouldn't convince me to sign up if I knew other clubs were interested.
