Saint Charlie Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 It would seem Jake Thomson is only on a one year contract, ie it expires next summer. Seeing as he is going to be at worst a very decent player, I certainly hope Saints are trying to extend it, as before we know it he could be linked with bigger and better teams....and tribunals arent kind to smaller clubs!
davec Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Totally agree! Jake is likely to be an important player due to his versatility and Woopert must sign him on a longer contract before other clubs start sniffing! Given a proper chance, Jake could become the new Walcott as he has pace to burn!
Saint Charlie Posted 5 August, 2008 Author Posted 5 August, 2008 Stop finding things to worry about. As you will see from my other posts this is wide of the amrk, I am very optimistic about the season and in full support of JP and the board, just think these are the kind of things to get sorted out, especially as have no money, it would be a shame to lose a good prospect for next to nothing next summer!

FMPR Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Will depend if he plays, QPR were in for him this summer. If he doesnt play he should and most likely will go.

Andy_Porter Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Isn't Lallana in the same boat? they should be offered new contracts asap.
Saint Charlie Posted 5 August, 2008 Author Posted 5 August, 2008 Isn't Lallana in the same boat? they should be offered new contracts asap. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=7672 Says he signed until end of 2009. That would suggest it expies half way through a season which is strange but who knows?
Fowllyd Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=7672 Says he signed until end of 2009. That would suggest it expies half way through a season which is strange but who knows? More likely means till end of 2008/9 season, which would indeed mean we need to get him signed longer-term as soon as possible.
THEVMAN Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Lallana is in the process of geting his contract sorted out hopefully this month.
Ludwig Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Lallana is in the process of geting his contract sorted out hopefully this month. I hope you're right, hope we get Jake in for the long haul too.
St Marco Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Been very impressed by Thomson in the games i've watched, he more then anyone in my opinion deserves to start the game on saturday. Hope he signs a new deal and has a really good season for us!
THEVMAN Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 I think you`ll find Lowe is trying to nail down all the great young talent that we have to substantial new contracts as he knows it`s the way forward,without breaking the bank.
Saints67 Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Been very impressed by Thomson in the games i've watched, he more then anyone in my opinion deserves to start the game on saturday. Hope he signs a new deal and has a really good season for us! In the game against Hereford he was played out wide on the right. He let the left back go charging past him which resulted in Wayne Thomas telling him that it was his job to track back with the left back. To me that seemed rather basics so maybe the lad needs more time in the reserves? To counter that though the lads pace is scary and he has a venomous shot on him and might be a useful addition to the bench as he looks like he could play anywhere along the front.
Professor Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Maybe the club need to be sure that the clear out is going OK before they commit more money to next year's wages budget. Expect the longer deals for any players on one-year contracts who hold their places in the first team after a few weeks but it is important that two or three out of Rudi / Safri / Rasiak / Stern / Saga / Euell, do find a home soon. I don't mean I wan't them all to go, but who goes also depends on who is wanted. Last season's outcome hasn't made any of them look like better players.
Michelle Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Jake has been one of the stars of pre-season for me, we need to get him signed up quick!
saint_stevo Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Will depend if he plays, QPR were in for him this summer. If he doesnt play he should and most likely will go. Says who!?
