Joel Bagin Has Signed a 3 Year Contract

Re: Joel Bagin Has Signed a 3 Year Contract

Really? A near 22 year old who made 1 league appearance and for the most part couldn’t get in the 20 man squad all last season rewarded with a 3 year deal? Very odd.

A three year deal does seem odd, but if I remember rightly, this board seemed to spend most of last season arguing that Bagan should be playing, instead of whoever was in the left berth at the time. He's a promising player, but he needs game time.

The deal must be weighted towards the club, surely? It's not like Bagan had a great deal of bargaining in his armoury, unless he's just brilliant in training! I reckon the club have offered him relatively low wages, so it's worth it for them

He's not a bad player, so there's scope for him to improve I suppose. If he does well enough for us, then we have a cheap player, or the club get to sell him on for a sizeable profit. We also don't know what's written into the contract. Good luck to him though.

Spot on and he has sufficient pedigree for it to be easy to find him a loan elsewhere if he doesn't crack the 1st team. In the meantime, he is a pretty solid reserve left back at this level.

Bulut was talking about a possible loan move when he talked about the new contract yesterday. Bagan needs to play. Maybe a half year loan to a League One side would be good. I couldn't remember if he had been out on loan before - but according to Wiki he had a one month (!) loan deal with Notts County in early 2000 - and played twice.

If he can go to a club like Bristol Rovers, it would be really good for him. I’d keep him there for a full season too. He can’t defend and needs to toughen up.

This loan deal came up recently. Neal Ardley took him to Notts County in February 2020 for a month initially but, after impressing in wins against Barrow and Eastleigh in early March, that was extended to the end of the season. He started every game after that, all two of them. The play off semi against Barnet in July and the final against Harrogate at Wembley in August.

There can't be many successful six month loan spells where a player only gets four games but that's what happened to Bagan. Not his fault in any way - unless we're blaming him for the pandemic, which would be harsh in my opinion.

Re: Joel Bagin Has Signed a 3 Year Contract

I wonder if the manager had much of a say in this. I hope so. I have a feeling that we're going to have a pretty good season.

Re: Joel Bagin Has Signed a 3 Year Contract

It probaly helped his development by not being a part of that mess last season. I've seen enough to think he can play a part in this squad going forward. Hope he grab the oppurtunity with this new contract.
