We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
The club want him to sign early, get a better deal.
He wants to sign later, feels he can increase his price or get a better offer elsewhere once he has a chance to play and put himself in the shop window.
More power to him really, he's obviously confident in himself, if he does not put on a good show then his price would drop.
If gaskell is playing most weeks I can't see why if wouldnt sign a new,deal but if like last season lance is playing before him week in week out then he be off somewhere else . I can't see him putting pen to paper before August anyway

i think its pretty black and white that this will be the case. He played well enough throughout 2011 to establish himself as a SL player. He was then dropped out of sight without doing anything in particular wrong because the temp coaches found a system that worked and weren't brave enough to tinker with it (even though Ray Charles could see Gaskell would've improved our game).
Whatever the ins and outs of his year, should he decide to leave he won't be short of offers. Talented lad is Gaskell.
Indeed. You can generally tell whether a good decision has been made to release a player by the calibre of the club that they end up at afterwards (see Dixon, Ashurst etc). I'pretty sure that if Gaskell doesn't sign a contract at Saints he'll end up at Wire, Wigan or Leeds.
Works both ways but isnt it a little dangerous for LG?
Plays well and gets the first team games that he wants then give him what he wants (within reason). Gets his first team games but under performs then may get a contract but with reduced money from Saints and across the board then itll be interesting to see what happens. Plays disastrously and gets a bad injury then what happens?
we still stand by him, just with a smaller pay check.
its makes sense to wait and see. NB must be happy with him in training for this to be on the table now, but game time is different and as such makes sense on waiting and see how he fairs.
like LeFrank whats the rush
