• Heskey to be offered new contract : Is mid-table totally exceptable now??

• Heskey is to be offered a new contract according to several media reports. A clear indication we have no ambition. Is mid-table totally exceptable now as wage bills are still being addressed. Or do we need to stabalize the club and accept that we cannot compete with the teams on the fringe of the big boys ?

• From reading the quote from McCleish he just says that Heskey doesn't need to worry about his future despite being the last year of his contract. You could interpret that in several ways, but I certainly wouldn't offer him a new one.

• With AM saying he's a bit like Bekenbauer (sp) , it's not that unbelievable.
  
  Ivanhoe, I just vanhoe.

• If it's as a squad player at a reduced wage then fine or to help the yoof and reserves. But as a starter no bloody way

• Let's just hope we can get Beye signed up long-term so we'll have a bit more security for the future.

• If he's happy to accept parity with the likes of Delfouneso or Weimann then I'd have nothing against offering him another two year contract befitting the fourth choice striker that he is.

• He's a decent back up. I just hope his wages will reflect that if he is offered anything new.

• We been moaning about squad being too small for years. Manager after manager play him. He plays internationally and other proffesional players talk about him all the time. He's steady and he's respected if nothing else

  That's it then, towel thrown in - 'steady and respected' is now worth a new contract - oh my days.
  
  £20k a week max if it happens.

• He played an important role earlier in the year. He played well, and smart.

• So, where are the quotes to substantiate the story that he's going to be offered a new contract? I've read  what the manager said but there's nothing specific there. Is there something else or is this another 2+2=74.29?

• I don't mind keeping him around but it would have to be on lots less than he earns now.
