I don't know what the actual contract offer was to Welham initially, but apparently it was not a very good one, peanuts was the word I heard used a couple of weeks ago.

To be honest he's been good this year but the previous two seasons he was stealing a wage

Re: Next seasons recruitment : Tue Aug 11, 2015 9:34 pm  

We shouldn't be paying him mega bucks, but I'd be very, very disappointed to see him go.

He's been excellent this year from game one, even though he's an evil ginger.

Deserve's an extension and an upgrade, if he isn't getting that then you have to think as Football Manager, Peacock doesn't think he's worth it.

The contract he's on now is better than he's probably worth so giving him an upgrade is out of the question I would like him to stay on this seasons form but I wouldn't make him a top earner like he is now

The addition of Goulding taught Welham what a centre's job actually is ......Hopefully, he will realise this and repay Rovers' patience with him and sign a new contract when Rovers could have easily offloaded him and subjected him to Championship rugby for the rest of his career .....Don't let your head swell after a few months of good rugby, Welham!

Well, this is where as always I have to say I know nowt.

I have no idea what players are paid, so perhaps I'd best shut it.

Geoff Tips seams to know though...

Haha! .....I know f**k all, honestly my avian friend! .....Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more!

I can't imagine there'll be that big a queue to sign Chris up. He's had a good year but has been far from prolific in the scoring charts and although improved his defence is hardly international standard. Looking round the league most teams have centres who are of equal or better standard.

I wont profess to know his wages etc but taking the above into account and with his testimonial coming up I struggle to see how a move would financially benefit him.

Lunt and Welham to leave (that is if they don't receive a better offer from Rovers' final offer), as well as Cox and Burke ......As for new signings, we desperately need a barn storming prop, second row and a centre that knows what his job as a centre is ......And if Lunt decides to go back to Leeds, then Pelissier will definitely be a target (He's a t**t that everyone loves to hate, but he is still a good player regardless) .....And to complete the french connection, Simon from Wakey ......Now all of that is a wild speculation, but hey, contracts don't mean s**t today!

What about Paleaasina? Out of contract and no news of an extended deal with us.

He is going to be hard to play in 2017 (Down to 8 changes) so unless he accepts a 1 year deal with someone he's going to struggle to get a gig.

I think a one year deal us about right for him, think he would be a good signing and I would be gutted seeking him play for you.

You should be going all out for Harrison Hansen
