Good news on Kenwyne Jones

Kenwyne Jones is in talks with the club over extending his contract.

The striker is happy at the club and wants to extend his stay beyond this season.

The club want to keep hold of their best players and Jones is certainly in that bracket.

Hopefully there can be an agreement reached.

Hopefully on a reduced wage he's a really good player but hopefully he will take a paycut with promotion bonus in his contract

Has Tan had a slight change of heart after a good start to the season? It seems to me that whilst he's not splashing the cash he realises we have a half decent chance of the play offs and if we can somehow go up he can recoup his losses a lot more easily than if we end up mid table in championship.

More good news if this happens.
All the Kenwyne haters - he's lazy, he's useless etc.etc. won't be happy although they've been quiet lately I don't know why!

Really happy with this give him a 2 year contract on 25k -30kmax as he is probably at the moment one of the most important players

He will get us 20 goals this season

If he's on the reported wages he is, then I would hope his wages in terms of a renewed contract would be linked to our championship status rather than premier league wages.

Yes he is a very good player at this level but he demonstrated it on an inconsistent basis last season and didn't really justify his reported wages. He's started the season very well, let's hope If he does agree a new contract, he continues it for the rest of the season.

And save us 20 goals a season with his defending ability on corners and set pieces

If true I will be well happy

If we can keep him on lower wages, then that's superb business by the club! To keep Marshall, Manga and Jones is excellent!

Our new style of play seems to suit Jones and he is playing better as a result.

Extending on a lower wage would be much more beneficial than pushing him out and signing someone that might be useless.

We don't know what Kenwyne's wages are. Unless he's told people, of course. Hope he stays.

If he lowers his salary then great. :thumbright:

Whatever they pay him he's worth every penny in my view.

Jones also started last season very well until the transfer window closed, then when he didn't secure his big money move away, he went to his old, lazy self and his performances declined. Hopefully, that won't happen this season. We need to offer Jones a much lesser wage but with generous win bonuses, goal bonuses, man of the match bonuses and promotion bonuses. That will ensure he gives 100% every game then and he will really be a benefit to us this season.

Any contracts given now with any players should be bonus based
base wage and if promotion achieved goals scored bonus etc

Re: ' GOOD NEWS ON KENWYNE JONES '

Mon Aug 31, 2015 6:17 pm

That Marshall, he doesn't score enough goals to earn a bonus.
