Must be a pretty much win always round for us, assuming it's for reasonable wages.As with Clark,either he continues to be a valuable member of the the first team = great deal, orhe never progresses further than now and remains as a competent squad member without reaching the stupid situation we were in with the likes of Beye orhe moves in 12-18 months and we get a decent fee due to the length of contract
"Any player who wants to get in the team ahead of Ashley Westwood will have to be a very good player"Not my words, but those of Tim Sherwood
Potentially a very good player, occasionally a good player. Too often disappears from games. He needs to be getting more assists really. If he's to remain as a first choice he's got to up his game and find more consistency and start influencing games more. Sherwood is right in wanting to see Westwood improve. I think he's still got a bit part to play and 5 years for someone his age isn't out of the ordinary. I'm not against it as we could well cash in next summer if he's not pushed on. This is a big season for Westwood as well as a few other long termers here.
A 5 year deal seems too long for Westwood but haven't we now got a contract specialist as part of the backroom staff which presumably means these new contracts should all be being made with the best interests of the club at heart covering a number of scenarios.

It's a win win as he will either remain squad players when our new signings flourish or he will progress this season towards an England cap and we will be delighted.
