Alan McCafu

[RussellC]

To be honest, with the way he's been playing, I fully expected us to offer him an extension at some point, but not this early and not necessarily for 3 years! Oh well, if nothing else, it shows that there's pro-activity behind the scenes again.

Fingers crossed that this is the first of a number of renewals.

This news does not warrant being part of the BBC football news on their website, just writing about a possible contract extension
for Eden Hazard......when are these media outlets gonna cover ALL the potential Champions league teams on an equal footing!!!!

[Clampy]

Yep, that's surprised me as well or maybe the length of it has, i don't know. Either way, i didn't see that one coming.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

3 (THREE) years?  Jesus!

[ozzjim]

Fox clearly has a taste for Mutton

[Tony Erdington]

He's started on fire, and some of us were very up beat about him from the friendly, this certainly shows comitment from above to the stability of the club.

if Alan Hutton continues in this vain though , there will be other pursuers, so Good move imo.

[Dr Butler]

is this a 3 year contract on top of what he has left or a total of 3 years ?

in my opinion he has been solid and that is what we needed right now, so a reward for putting the hard work in is not unrealistic...just my opinion

Well who saw this one coming then?

[supertom]

What next? New 5 year deal for Given?

Fair play Alan.  Stayed dignified when frozen out and took his chance with both hands when offered it.   I'm pleased for him.

Part of me thinks we should have waited, but if he'd kept up the form and we lost him on a free I guess we'd be dissapointed. 

Bit of a gamble though - we'll look very silly if his form dips.

[Legion]

Wow.

[The Left Side]

Well done Alan and Villa, who would of thought that would be the next contract signed... now Fantastic Mr. Fox go and get you Fabian and Jack signed up and Ron too!

[kiddylion]

FairPlay to him he's obviously knuckled down  pre season & really worked hard.
Despite his treatment he never publicly slagged the club off(no doubt as he was still getting extremely well paid)
FairPlay also to lambert as he's had to sollow his pride in this abit I think but looks more like he was following orders from above

[ciggiesnbeer]

Fairplay Alan. A true professional.

[Tuscans]

Let's be honest, out of the 2 right backs he bought he always had the best one here already. ( Not top class but will do for us and where we are).

And Aly is an absolute steal....again, 3 left backs later he get's it right.

Good on you Alan.

Now get Vlaar, Delph and Grealish on bumper deals please.
