thevelourfog Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 A quality player, let's hope the injuries have been circumstance. Curious about a 7 year deal now we can't account for the fee over that length, just don't see the benefit of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about a 7 year deal now we can't account for the fee over that length, just don't see the benefit of it. Fairly positive the long term deals were seen as a way to buy more time and to avoid Rudiger like situations. A conventional 5 year deal really only means a player is secured for 3 years, as with 2 years left the club and player would need to begin negotiations on a new deal. Should discussions end up drawn out there's the risk of the player going into the final year of their deal and possibly just waiting it out to leave for nothing. A 7 year deal essentially extends that period of security, gives the club greater control, and also avoids situations with trying to get players to sign 1-2 year extensions even through they're likely to be sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also a considerably higher risk for the club. Ever more so given Neto’s injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever more so given Neto’s injury problems. Beaten to it, but the idea that it provides security is a nice theory that, imo, ignores reality. It's generally pretty easy to extend a player's contract when they're doing well, and generally easy for a player to force their way out years early if that's what they want. All a long deal does is tie you into a liability for longer than you know it's profitable to have it. I can't buy that securing low wages long term is a reason, either. If a player thinks their market value wage has increased, they'll agitate for it. We've been successful enough to only see it from the purchasing side in recent decades, but that can quickly change. In reality, no club really holds any more cards with a 7 year deal than they do a 5 year one. As with everything we're doing, it'd be fine in moderation but instead we're tying ourselves into these deals for literally every signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will Pulisic be thinking now that Poch has been confirmed as USMNT coach? 😬 Edited August 15 by Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
