I was just wondering that with Vokes and McCleary out injured are we able to recall anyone who went on loan. I’m thinking Horgan and Mellor. Can’t remember, did we sell or loan Kaikai and AAH.
Campbell - TJ - Hanlan isn’t quite the same as
Mehmeti - Vokes - McCleary

I would love to know the background to these one year extensions. Is it the club or the player that will only commit to one year?

He has just turned 30 and could leave on a free after one year. Tricky one. One last chance at a crack at the Championship? JJ will be 37 in November <yikes>
 
Very pleased with this, imagine with Gape and Thompson back and if we keep wing. That would be a something to base a team around.
 
Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that both Jack Grimmer and David Wheeler will remain at the club until the end of next season.

Not sure what to make of that either

I think we are short of money and can’t be dishing out long term contracts. I’d say they are repaying loyalty and not looking for longer contracts elsewhere.

I think a lot depends on the players belief in their ability to play at a higher level, and what the manager and owners believe

If I didn't have enough belief to hold my own at a higher level, I would be looking for as long a contract as possible because, in the event of promotion, I probably wouldn't get a game and I would be compensated if released. Conversely if I believed in myself then I would be looking for 1 year contract (in order to be free for a move to a Championship club), unless I was confident of promotion and a regular start

From the owners' viewpoint, if they think the player would not feature in the event of promotion then they would not be willing to grant a long term contract but, if they did think the player was Championship standard, they would be looking for a long term contract so that, in the event of promotion, they have a good player already signed up. If promotion didn't come, they would get a pay-out if a Championship club came calling

There is that feeling of belonging and wanting to play for a club until they retire. In that situation a long term contract would be ideal and a 1 year contract a bit demotivating

Hope that made some sense
