Jagielka: 1 year Extension

[Woolly Blue]

Makes sense.

He'll be lower down the pecking order in 2018/19, but we'll still need cover or players to sit on the bench and, though he's plainly past his best, we know Jags can still do a job.

It also gives Contract Dave something to do. He's been quiet for a week or so and he probably needs to get pen fit for the last few weeks of the window.

Well in Phil.

Now lift a trophy before you leave, there's a good lad.

Nothing but admiration for Jags, arguably my favourite player of the last 2 decades.

His best days are behind him now but I cannot think of a better character to have around the club for other players to aspire too. I really hope he wins something here.

Dave's head is going to explode.

 

[Wayno]

I've got too much sentiment to be mad at this

Remember the dark days when he first signed and had no position , playing at defensive mid quite a bit

Then the resurgence when he got a few games at CB

Dear me,it's slowly ebbing away.....said in a sorrowful voice.

Dave's head is going to explode.

He was already having a shocker of a day in the Dowell and transfer threads.

This could actually send him into a blubbering mess.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

He's more than welcome to end his career here. Good on you captain Jags

Dave's head is going to explode.

Brilliant stuff. Wait for Koeman's press conference in a minute where he praises Jags to high heaven. Cannot wait.

 

[blue61]

Still got plenty to offer if used correctly, we'll hopefully be playing plenty of games this season and will need the extra numbers and experience.

All those idiots on Twitter with the
"were fookin rich"
"Everton will sign who they want"

Carry on must feel foolish now. Would any of the top 6 offer a past it player this? No chance.

 

[Groucho]

And that's still one of the best goals either side has scored in a derby in decades.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I actually admire the likes of Gary Neville and even to some extent Carragher for realising their days as Premier League footballers are over.

Jagielka, Hibbert, Osman and Neville just rely on us to hand the undeserved deals.

Should be retiring.

Yup, him and Baines will hopefully see out their careers with us.
