Collins and Summerfield

Maybe wouldnt be a bad thing if they said no earlier rather than later?
Collins at his age is a gamble for me anyway and Summerfield can very easily be replaced.
Im thinking mr Jolley has offered them wages he sees fit and may not be up to their liking.

Quoted from oldun

they are obviously not keen otherwise they would be signing on the dotted. it is a case of "if nothing better crops up I might stay" You either want to play for us or you don't, let us know and we move on.

Or they may have offers that are longer term than we have offered. They are both over 30 and, certainly in Collins case, probably signing their last or last but one contract.

Quoted from Cod Cheeks

Let them go

You must be taking the piste-they were our 2 best players last season-lest anybody should forget. We are only offering 1 year contracts so if anybody came in and offered 2years  i wouldn't blame them. We were pig shite too clever over Arnold and Almond and suffered for it. don't let us make the same mistake

Some people have short memories golfer. Summers won several awards at POTY and was a shoe-in for the main award in many fans' eyes - if I was him I would have hoped to get a 2 year deal.

Macca was our best player and they were average at best in a well below average team
Can't even compare them with Arnold and Amond

Summerfield was one of our most consistent performers last season. Even during the bad run he always gave 100% and tried to encourage others around him. He won over a lot of fans with his attitude (me included).  I was happy he was offered a new deal......but if he decides his future is elsewhere so be it.

Good luck to him and he would go with my best wishes and I hope should he ever return to BP in another sides colours he would be given a warm reception. But he is replaceable as is everyone  of course. But lets not pretend he is one of Town's greats. A good honest pro.

As for Collins. A bit like Summerfield. A good pro. Plenty of experience at a high level but he is 38 I think. His playing time is coming to an end. Worth a 1 year deal but if he chooses to go, like Summerfield, then fine we bring someone else in.

Summers and Collins were two of our best performers toward the end of the season and it was usually a toss up which one was MOM for me in most games, but it has to be said that we weren't of the required standard by a long way last season, so is it just that they were the best of a bad bunch? Won't be ecstatic if they stay, won't be despondent if they leave.

Summerfield was great last year and stand out player of the season for me. I want him to stay.
Collins incredibly consistent and so again I hope he stays utm

all three are average at best, there is better players available.

We had all this last year with Collins, no doubt being the calibre of player he was he probably just has a better agent wringing every last cent out of the negotiation. I think he'll end up signing just like last year.
