WIZZO83 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 This week I would like to see chubs, brownie, grounds, Wilson and weso to join Lockwood signing a new deal. No messing around they have been brilliant over the past 2 months and created a solid platform to build from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Agree and set them a deadline to sign it... none of this checking on other offers rubbish Either you want to play for Oldham or you don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Problem is the club dont really want to start signing players up now because it costs money paying them from now till they kick a ball again in august if money is tight its alright saying lets offer them all extensions but that would be 10k + a week and it soon adds up at this time of year.

That is quite simply untrue. It may cost to contract players from the date of the expiry of their current ones but there is not a cat in hell's chance we'll allow the players we want to keep to run out of contract and hope we can pick them up just before the season starts. I can't imagine any of them would want to play for us if we did that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Same thing could be said of teachers and firemen Would you say to a fireman "sorry old chap theres been no fires this week so we dont believe we should pay you?"

WIZZO83 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Players contracts run until 1st July and preseason normally starts that week so that would be a really stupid idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'd love us to sign these players up, but don't forget that the agents will have (too much of) a say on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) In the 1950s an International player wanted payment during the close season, only to be told by the club chairman, "you don't kick a ball during the close season so you're getting nowt".

We'll be paying them until their expiry anyway. I'm sure that any deals signed in advance will be with effect from the new contract date, rather than straight away.The complicatations come from the agents trying to get them a better deal or if someone else wants to sign them. Any players signed past the start of the pre-season will affect preperations. As much as there are other players available, it would be good to have some stability to build on.

HarryBosch Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If he goes maybe LJ will renew interest in Yeovil's Joey Jones, a similar type of player. A beautiful footballer in the Tarkowski mould. It pains me to say it but, these last few weeks have shown that we'd better off with another Lockwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No messing around they have been brilliant over the past 2 months and created a solid platform to build from. I am sure if they all were to accept the offer we put on the table, then they would sign. Its just infinitely more complicated than that. Plus a couple of your list, that another season might just prove to be one season too far. That has happened to usa few times in recent years.

opinions4u Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Was that grounds swansong at carlisle Probably. But it could just be that he didn't want his wife sticking his shirt in the tumble dryer. He's never going to wear that one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
