Millenniumram Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just opened negotiations and rightly so, very rarely will players accept the lowest offer- I'm sure it's just a starting point and we'll come to terms with him eventually, no need for panic just yet. Mel Morris ain't a fool, surely he knows how vital Hughes is to us and will ensure he does everything he can to make sure we keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hughes does start from a strong position in this one. I suspect he is thinking about moving to the top flight, otherwise i think this snippet would be under wraps. We may well come to terms with him, especially as big bad Pearson has gone.

Dimmu Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 He is our best player and deserves best salary. Simples. Not his fault we are paying too much for some. I'm more worried about clauses what Will's agent can negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Let's just hope contract negotiations don't affect his performances for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'd kick him out of town now if he doesn't want to sign a new contract, and use the money we save to pay some of Frank Lampard's wages until the end of the season. If we get promoted it'll be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Sure If we can't afford Hughes wage demands let's go for 38 year old Fat Frank's... Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 A year and a half left on his contract and this will be the first salvo of negotiations... Nobody accepts the first offer and this is a negotiation tactic from his agent... If Hughes wants to stay he'll stay... If he wants out he wouldn't do it this way, he'd just request a transfer...

If he wanted to leave he'd make it clear to the club that he wanted out... There are ways to do it without handing in a transfer request (I think Robbie did an article for the BBC about it at one point?) but I don't think contract negotiations would be the way he'd do it...

YouRams Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Personally think whoever offered him the contract wants *******. We should be doing all we can to keep Hughes at this club, not taking the **** by offering him a poor contract which could lead to his head being turned.

I think you've taken me too literally. Some on here insist on making ridiculous signings with the excuse that if we get promotion it will be worth it. If we just give Will what he is worth then I am sure he wil sign a new contract. Having a new contract wouldn't prevent Prem teams coming in for him if they really want him. It's a win/win for Will.

Unless your name is Peter Risdale, although technically I guess there was a second offer to Seth, if the stories are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_The_Ram Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The papers will always go bloody berserk about these things ... especially at this time of year, silly season approaches. I may well have my differences with a lot of you regarding Hughes, however, the lad is a hot prospect, and he deserves to negotiate as such. At risk of sounding repetitive ... so long as he keeps his level high on the pitch, I don't really care what sort of deal he is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highgate Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If it's just a negotiating tactic on his part...then no problem...good on him. Give him what he/his agent wants. If we don't get promoted he's gone to be sold anyway....can't keep in the championship forever. Having him on a longer term contract will mean we'll get a much better price for him. If we do get promoted.., then the money we are offering Will now won't be an issue. Basically just do whatever we can to get him to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
