ossieram Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I think this has been triggered by the number of games he's played this season, so you could say he's earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Still think he'll leave in the summer, despite the triggered extension. I'll be pleased if he does stay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Pleased with this. He's a gorgeous footballer to watch and has only recently been displaced by his 'son' (Holmes) in my affections in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages will be unchanged. Considering we will now have Huddlestone, Evans, Thorne and Bird for the DM role(s) for next season, it's unlikely we'll get another in without one going out.

Have been reading Simon Jordan’s auto recently and he mentions in it how agents like to put in incremental rises in wages spread across the lengths of the contract. Jacob Butterfield is no doubt earning a lot more now than when he first signed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like about the guy, but that book really is eye-opening when considering what running a football club is really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Still best cdm in the division imo, played around the right players in a team regularly. Chopping and changing have hindered him this season as he hasn’t been consistently starting imo. Still been far better than anyone else in that role in our team mind. Would be pretty much impossible to replace at the same level as him so delighted myself. Similar to @BurtonRam7 hes been my favourite player since he returned, only now being challenged by the little terrier of Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I love all the comments about his contract and what it will "probably" be now...… not one person on this forum (with the exception of Mad Mel-and he probably doesn't know) has the tiniest of clue what Huddlestones contract used to be, is now or will be in the future, not the tiniest of clue...... Not a bad signing, nothing to get excited about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsFan10 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Going to be a controversial opinion but not so pleased with this. He's on such high wages and seems like a clause rather than Frank's choice to extend it. He's a good player obviously, but if we're seeking to bring down the age and wage expenditure then this would be one you'd get rid of. Maybe all this means is we get a bit of money for him in summer from an Italian team, rather than his value counting against our FFP when he gets released.

Also had been on a premier league contract the year before. I'm not claiming to know his exact earnings but its really not hard to find out that he's earning more than the average at our club, i find all this "how does anyone know what he's earning" talk quite ridiculous to be honest.

ollycutts1982 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hopefully means we will get a small fee for him in the summer, absolutely loved him in his first stint with us and was delighted when he re-signed for us. However, this season he has been poor, with the players round him he should thrive in the role picking those in front of him with his range of passes, it just seems he is in need of calibration. I was on the fence about him staying or going but the nail in the coffin for me was when he could not win a header against Barry Bannan. For his size he is far too lightweight. Thanks for the memories THudd and enjoy Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported by who? The club didn't make that statement and neither did Hudds. You might find it ridiculous, but it's not half as ridiculous as people posting speculation as a fact.

cannable Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Meh, people think he’s something he’s not because he’s big and can pass. Doesnt control games and doesn’t screen notably well. Needs players to do the dirty work for him so he can just create from deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
