Re: Bacuna

Length of contract means very little nowadays???? Utter Rubbish.

Don't know what world you live in but it isn't the real one. If what you say is true, players would all see out their contracts to the bitter end and not get sold. If a player wants to leave a club he will invariably get his wish, no matter how long is left on his contract. Clubs like longer contracts because it means they can sell whenever they want and get a better fee. Players like Bale are the exception as he is milking it for all he can get at Real Madrid, presumably because of the way they have treated him.

Its simple.

They mean something as if hes any good hes under contract and leave for a fee and hopefully everyones happy.

Alternatively it means something as sh!t signings can sit on their contracts and clubs cant get them off the books but the player picks up wages the club doesnt think hes worth.

Weve had players weve paid off just to get them off the books. Had to do it as they are under contract.

Vassell im sure hed be gone on a free this summer wont happen as hes under contract.

So the contact isnt worthless.

Real world😂

Re: Bacuna

I recall Dalman suggesting a significant lack of preparation going into premier league season which pre-empted January window desperation and being an easy target for agents/selling clubs. Following summer had a transfer strategy but it was a bad one which has made Bacuna and every other individual look worse since.

Bacuna is a very useful squad player, and he did really well in a midfield three when Sanderson was still being trusted as RB, but isn't regular first choice in most of the formations we use and hasn't justified being one of the rumoured higher earners.

(He is also a player who travels further than most during international windows so some mitigation for recent performances).
