"Planning"

Roeder is adamant he will not discuss new contracts with any player until after the New Year, with Sibierski joining centre-backs Craig Moore and Titus Bramble on the list of those whose present deals expire at the end of the season.

 

But Newcastle's manager has already indicated his bargain buy should be rewarded for his recent heroics.

 

He said: "There will come an appropriate time to sit down and talk to him about contracts and what he wants to do.

 

"As with Titus Bramble, that time will come after Christmas. No decision has been made on any player and no decision will be made until the end of January.

"But what Antoine has done so far, why shouldn't he be offered a new contract? He has done fantastically well for the team and he is a popular player.

 

"Without asking him, I have a gut feeling he would want one because he is enjoying his football up here and so he should be."

 

I absolutely fail to understand this policy. From January on those players are free to talk to any club without needing the permission of Newcastle. Shouldn't a decision be made earlier then, i.e. extending the contracts as long as the club is in the pole position?

 

N.B. Not that I am advocating the contract extension of Bramble and Moore per se. ;)

I can only presume he wants to see who he can get in during the January window before deciding if he wants to keep them.

 

New keyboard Greg? ;)

I hope it’s Glenn's way of saying that Titus won’t get his contract extended :D

 

Regarding Moore; didn’t he say that he would move (back to Australia) after this season?

 

Agree with the whole “forward-planning”-thing, ideally we should have a new LB, RB, CB and two strikers ready on the 1st of January, but we all know that won’t happen… ;)

Yeah! I've just got myself a USB keyboard for now until I get my laptop keyboard fixed.
