[Archived] Golden Oldies

[Amo]

I've lost track of Nelsen's situation. Is he injured or "injured?"

Just been having a look at the contract situation of our club ……it seems we have a number of very experienced players coming to an end.

Are the following Golden oldies effectively finished as premier league players? Are they past it and injury prone? Would you offer to renew any of the contracts?

They say you can’t win anything with Kids so do we need to retain some of these experienced players?

Vince Grella (Expires summer 2012)

David Dunn (Expires summer 2012) - 12 MONTH Extension & coaching role

Michel Salgado (Expires summer 2012)

Jason Roberts (Expires summer 2012) - GONE

Ryan Nelsen (Contract till 2013) - GONE

There are then 2 other experienced players who only have 12 months left on their deal and probably very unlikely to sign a new one, so it’s a case of should we sell them for something or lose them for nothing

Gael Givet – 2013

Keith Andrews - 2013 - GONE

Made some progress on this list now it seems. Happy so far with what we have done. Just need Grella & Salgado to go (who id keep till summer & play his final 8) and then hopefully sign Givet on a new deal.
