Is that 'cute', or is it just signing players who aren't wanted (because if they were we wouldn't have been able to sign them(although Gowling's different))?

Either way, Arnold and Gowling are certainly excellent loanees.

(Robertson and Jolley are ours though)

We gave Hearn a three-year deal and got one good year out of him.

Obviously no one knows what will happen to a player after they sign on the dotted line, but it makes sense to sign them on one-year deals with a clause to say that if they play more than X amount of games it triggers the option for an extension.

That way, if the player is fit enough then we have the option to keep for longer without having to open new negotiations.

We had Bognit on one of those deals and look where it got us.
Also lennie triggereda similar clause,
Question, would Paul have let him go if he hadn't have triggered that clause??

Not in my opinion no - backed up by the fact Lenny has started virtually every game while fit!

To players like Pearson, Magnay and LJL a 2 year deal with a option of a 3rd is deserved,

Others a 1 year deal with an option is fair,

That's if we are still in the conference,

If we are in L2 then more players could be handed a longer deal,

I really hope we are a league side next season then with the extra cash we can look after the players better,

Macca should also get a longer contract as well of course.

Far too risky offering players medium-long term deals at this level.  

We got burnt a bit with Hearn, one good season and then he was injured for the next two.   That left us with a large wage that we were paying with no return for two campaigns.  

With regards Chappell, in the few sub appearances he made I wasn't overly impressed with him and thought he was about as good as the vast majority of loan wingers we sign, play a few games and never hear from again.  Against Aldershot though I thought he looked excellent, albeit he was against a poor side.
