Geovanni or Koren? ;)

Don't want to sound critical of Koren but Geovanni IMO. It's close, Koren has his benefits as in he can perform all year round and he is very consistent, but when Geovannis on song... ****ING HELL there's a serious player.
 
I know what you're saying, but I'd have thought it was obvious the player has a choice. The term 'with the option of a further year' suggests the club can just renew it if they fancy or the player can. If it actually depends on both parties agreeing then it is just like any normal contracxt renewal and if it is a clause where a contract has to be offered based on a number of appearances then it might as well just be secret like whatever other clauses may be in there. The idea of announcing this 'optional further year' just seems weird and confusing to me when you consider the actual process.

Optional further year could also mean if we decide to offer him an extension, the first year has to be on the same or better terms.

Geovanni's best is better than Koren's best but i think you get more consistency from Koren. I would like to see Koren in the PL before making any harsh decision but both where Great for the club.
 
I wonder how long Koren will carry on playing for Slovenia?

A lot of players knock it on the head around 30 these days to prolong their club career.
Wonder if he'll be one if them.
 
Could be that he puts his country first, who knows, it would suit us if he jacked it in at international level if he comes back knackered after games
 
I'm sure the one year extension has been trigged and he's got an automatic year deal if he wants it, but as he's playing so well, we'll almost certainly being offering an improved contract for a longer term.

Think you'll find the players that retire from International Football to concentrate on their Clubs are the same ones that earn a couple of million a year from their Clubs. (or the ones who think they are a million light years better than they actually are - like Carragher).

Maybe that's where Blunderside get it from.
They've just announced that they are in error and Koren's contract does not expire at the end of this season but in 2013.

It would depend who's favour the option is in.

In the player's favour then the terms and everything were agreed in advance and it's completely up to the player whether to sign it or not.

In the club's favour then the terms and everything were agreed in advance and it's completely up to us whether we activate it or not.

And I think you'll find he's seriously considering knocking playing for Slovenia on the head.
