New Contracts?

[Goldie.7]

From 8k to a Reported 80K a month not bad ey.

[Villafirst]

Hopefully Okore can now step up and replace Vlaar....

[Gareth]

Good news on Grealish, now we are nearly out of the mad stretch I look forward to seeing him properly blooded against our 'peer' teams

From 8k to a Reported 80K a month not bad ey.

I wouldn't have been too unhappy about £8k a month to be honest, especially if I were 19 years old at the time.

It must be me, I'm glad he signed I think, but I'm yet to see what everyone else must be seeing. It's all a bit Gary Gardner at the moment. As it stands we've just made another young man a millionaire.

Oh well good luck to him and let's hope we get a golden season or so from him. And golden to me means not just 10th, but if we must have 10th, then let it be with an FA Cup please.

Christ, you don't want much. 

If he wins us the FA Cup single-handedly they'll be naming stands after him.

From the Mirror

Double Vlaar vision
 
The Daily Star reports that Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar wants DOUBLE his current contract to remain at Villa Park - or he'll look to move to Old Trafford.
 
The Dutch defender, 29, is not among the highest earners in the Midlands and his long-term future is up in the air as he's out of contract during the summer.
 
And if the Villa hierarchy doesn't look to hand their skipper a new double-your-money deal soon, then United will look to move for around £4million in January

I wouldnt offer Vlaar anything like this with his injury record.

agreed and I would take £4 million for him right now.

[PaulWinch again]

What's he being paid now? I can't open the link. If he's on relatively low wages then double might not be that unrealistic.

[KevinGage]

Seeing as we signed him at the height of austerity mode, I'd say £40K tops.     Bent, Given and CNZ are reportedly still the highest earners.  Parity with them might be fair.  But more than that -circa £80k- would be a risk, with his record.

I'd go with that.

If he was on, say, 20k now, I'd consider doubling that, but if he was on 40k now (which, in fairness, I doubt), there's no way I'd double that - and there's no way we would, either.

I also think the "or he'll move to Old Trafford" line doesn't even stand up to the slightest scrutiny. For a start, if he really had a chance to move to Man United, there's both no way he'd be considering staying with us, and no amount of money we could offer him to make him stay.

His major problem is his injury record. He picks up so many knocks, and they never seem to be the "miss one match" sort.

I agree. Although of course it would be in his agent's interests to talk up the possibility of this happening as a negotiating tactic with us.

I doubt it. If so it's a very bizarre negotiating tactic from his agent. It'd be like telling ASDA that if they don'y give you more club rewards you're off to shop at Waitrose.

[PaulWinch again]

See I suspect he's on about £20K too, and I wouldn't be against us going to about £35-£40K to keep him. That's not particularly big wages for the captain of the club.
