There was a weird report in Jan/Feb as well where SkySports reported that Gradel looked like he wanted to extend his deal, but Leeds for some reason were unwilling to offer a contract. http://www.werenotfamousanymore.com/2011/02/contracts-contracts-contracts-and-brad.html
Our contract policy is crap. Beckford - one of our best players leaves on a free, Johnson -after a good season, still young and can improve/have sell on value leaves on a free. Becchio only signed a new deal in November I think, now Snodgrass, Gradel and Howson all have less than 2 years left. Why not open talks with all 3 now?
If the price is right Bates will sell him thier are too many rumours flying around for my liking it doesn,t look good we must keep our best players and he is one of them!
