That Wickham, Brown and O'Shea are in the last year of their contract? well i know Wickham is. All the focus is on boy wonder, but what becomes of the other two? Time to pack in, take up coaching, or become tv ****ehawks?
They take a big, big wage drop on shorter term deals or they leave. Both are worth a place in the squad for next season but not on the money they're being paid.
Brown & O'shea 1 year , with a small payoff clause if injured, with the clubs option to extend a further year.
Re Brown and Oshea. We need to sign a quality centre half in January and integrate him into the team. Oshea id let go at the end of the season. Brown id offer him a one year deal maybe player coach style role. Brown is technically a brilliant centre back and when he's on his game is still one of the best around. Two young centre backs could learn so much from him. Just not an oshea fan, I think he's dreadful at everything.
