Poveda

Why did we give him a 3 year deal, if it was 2 maybe understand but there’s no reason why we should be offering lengthy deals like that for him. Bit like offering Semedo a 5 year deal
I’m trying to look at a positive side of this, is it definitely a three year contract full stop? One thing you can’t aim at the club is that it’s “lax” with its contract policies. It seemed a strange one at the time, but completely out of character to give such a contract to someone who hasn’t been able to get on the pitch regularly for a long time.

Could it be it’s a shorter contract with an option to extend? Could it be he’s got an element of pay as you play.

If it has been a signing under short, aye. But under Speakman & De Freyus it seems like a total left field decision

We have absolutely no idea how the contract is structured though. He may have a low baseline salary with appearance add-ons/incentives and the club may feel like they have a long-term plan to improve his fitness/robustness. It may not work but I'd be surprised if there wasn't something like that in his contract that gives him a bit of security and protect us somehow.
 
Just no need to be derogatory you must think abdullahi is as well, unless you know more than the average fan it's not his fault he gets injured, he's played very limited game time so not sure how you can comment on work rate, I did see him tracking back and winning free kicks against Leeds mind.
You probably defended Jack Rodwell too. Just for the sake of having a different opinion.

Because supposedly he was absolutely class for sheff wed despite registering 0 goals and assists and having only played in about 70 games in his whole career.

f***ing shocking signing

He's probably on at least 5k a week for the next 3 yr! Buzzing his little titties off!

Like ordering Jack Rodwell from Wish.
