Unless you know another club is after you then it becomes tricky.

And what club leaves a contract until the final year to start negotiating?

Next year is the final year. It should be a straightforward process unless he's got a ego on him.

If Barkley is messing around I would tell him to do one.

Bring back Del and have him play Ross's role.

He is a better, more intelligent player anyway.

Hardly think he's got an ego when half the gwladys give him dogs abuse and his form drops.

To me he's not been offered anything yet and he's got clubs sniffing.

Up to the board to change it rather than us expecting Ross to sign a 20 year deal for a packet of quavers because he's blooo

It's amazing how many of our players think they're good enough to be playing CL football.
Yet we currently sit 7th

I seem to recall Slippy Gerrard advising Ross to stay with his boyhood club, that there was no better career. He would do well to remember that advice.

It does make me laugh that. Like the players are just observers at the club.

Play better then!

And everyone who are playing is responsible of losing to the like in Burnley and Watford away.

It quite literally is saying that Kev - or at least that he 'will' be offered one

Perhaps we've been in discussions over an initial contract that he and his representatives weren't happy with and as such discussions are ongoing.

It has taken far too long. If he is not signing just tell the club earlier and we can prepare. I rather he stays of course.

I'm confident he'll stay and a contract will be signed before the close of the season and I'll happily be vaulted if I am incorrect.

Simply, I expected his representatives are playing hard ball over a lucrative deal while rightly or wrongly we'll be looking for the best deal for us.
