Why doesn’t he want to sign a new contract?
Is he looking for a big money move?
This'll realistically be his last contract on top whack money so he'd be right to try and maximise that.
The money it would cost to replace him may as well give him a fair contracT.
Depends - would we still want him if we went up?
I would suggest that is thinking far to far ahead.Quote:

There will be clubs already tapping him up ive no doubt so he holds all the cards imo
Why wouldn’t he be a lover of tan? He’s played under his employment for 7 seasons?Quote:

He wont have forgotten that and as for why hasnt he upped and gone? ......
you dont bite your nose to spite your face and if the right opportunity doesnt arise you sit and wait.
I doubt the players give a **** about the owners as long as the checks are signed.Quote:

In the summer he was reportedly happy at the club and ready to discuss a new contract. The fact that hasn't happened may be more down to the club and manager than to Gunnar:

He won't have forgotten the club defending him against Moody's claims it was Gunnarsson who leaked the tem sheet.Quote:

We need him to sign a new contract before January or sell him rather than lose him on a free as we have done with many other players?
Ledley would be an outstanding replacement if he goes!
Depends where we are on the table. If he can help us get into the PL great, take the risk, it’s not like he’s going to fetch multiple millions with 5/6 months left on his contract.Quote:

Anyone who thinks VT is good for our club is demented. We are helpless against his crazy behaviour as recently as last monthQuote:

It's his job and viewing it as such If the money is right for him he will sign.
Theres only one demented person on this thread and thats you. What crazy behavior happened last month - oh yes, he sanctioned us spending nearly £5m on new players. Crackers isnt he.Quote:

Final note, I prefer it when we develop our own players rather than buy them in and I don't think anyone can complain that VT isn't backing the development of our own players.

I agree with this. He know's he made some mistakes some of them being offensive but he changed them back and deserves respect for putting his hand's up. He gave Ollie stupid money, backed Malky to the hilt. I got no quarrel with him. I remember a fan moaning about his lack of investment when there was brick dust falling on his head from the new tier being erected.
You must just be here to try and get bites because i can't think of anyone on this board that talks the rubbish that you doQuote:

Good luck to the lad , before the Warnock reawakening a lot were calling for him and the Whitts partnership to be broken up .Quote:

If we go up , he will want to sign ,however will we then need something better though ?
If a good offer came in I think we maybe tempted to cash in .
I would sell in Jan of a decent offer comes in. Dont forget Gunnar will have one eye on Russia and his performances will inevitably tail off in the latter part of the season. His contract expires in June 2018 anyway.
Yes and no. We'll surely be in with a promotion shout come Jan. We can't be selling him if so. His stock will be very high if he and the Icelanders do well. My guess is the only way we'll keep him is if we get promoted.Quote:

well said penarth blues he his the best chairman we have had in my time watching the city for the last 38 years
All eyes are going to be on Iceland at the world cup and a decent world cup will give him so many options. He will be able to go anywhere around the world plus everyone loves an underdog especially if they have got a long throw
Classic Neil...
Warnock was worried about Gunnarsson's fitness before Iceland's qualifiers with Turkey and Kosovo.
The 28-year-old played in both ties and films of him joining in the country's celebrations emerged on social media.
Warnock joked: "He should be available, but we have not breathalysed him yet."
