5th longest serving player in the championship.

Re: Joe Ralls signs new contract

Nah! Not for me. I think that’s just silly. Time to move on. I’m not sentimental. Edit: giving him a contract I mean. I want a fresh start.

He's still one of our best midfielders, why would you want to move on?

28 league appearances this season and we've won only 2 of the 9 games he's missed

You lost me at ‘he’s still one of our best midfielders’ ……I haven’t taken our midfield seriously for years.

Re: Joe Ralls signs new contract

Good news, im glad it’s a year, i can see him being more of a squad player going forward. Our midfield still generally looks better with him in it.

Ralls is a all round player for when the hard work needs doing

If anyone needs to be on a pay as your play deal it's rambo who is more than likely to retire at the end of this season than sign a new contract

Who was the last Cardiff player to sign a play as you play deal? Is there currently any in the championship? I’ll be honestly I can’t think of any players.

How many years have we been saying ‘glad it’s another year?’ Jo Ralls getting a year’s contract extension is like some sort of CCFC annual event now. All the usual platitudes. Every year for the at least three seasons. Please make it stop and let’s move on. 🫣😆🥲

He's shown he's still got what it takes to play midfield at championship level

Re: Joe Ralls signs new contract

Now are you being serious there I wonder? I’ll be serious and say the use of the words “appearance based” about the further one year extension suggests there is an element of pay as you play to it.

This time last year, I would have said Joe Ralls was on his last contract at City as he was missing lots of games and struggling when he did play. He’s missed quite a few games this season, but it seems to me that, first, he’s in better form than he was in 22/23 and, second, whatever it is which causes him to miss so many games is not affecting him as much when he plays as it once did - he’s been able to play the occasional full ninety minutes this season and going back a year again, I’d have said such things were beyond him.

Very good news regarding someone who has been such a great servant of the club - testimonial games are almost unheard of these days, but Ralls has more than qualified for one now.

Am i being serious?

I'd go one further and say who was the last player to sign a play as you play deal? Granted not the most in depth investigations conducted, but a quick search on the internet and the only return for a specific player is Owen Hargreaves in 2011.

I don't know but it should be rambo as he's crocked

I was going to say who was the last players to have a pay as you play deal but then half expected someone to pull of a list of random players lol. I couldn’t think of any.
