I hope Macklin gets a one year deal, he's got more potential than Kennedy. If Paynter doesn't sign, then we got this whole finding another striker problem this summer (again).

Paynter is in a purple patch, and was hit and miss scoring wise until austin turned up. If he does move on would be a mistake on his part, but i'm sure we'd get at least as good in. Same with Ferry, as good as he has been, doesn't score enough, and again we'd get better if we couldn't sign him.

It's hard to know what the effect of Paynter leaving would be - he works so well with Austin so we'd be looking at replacing a partnership rather than a player. Finding somebody to score 20+ goals isn't too difficult, but we'd need somebody who could create the chances for Austin as well as replacing Billy's goals which wouldn't be easy. |

Not as bad though - we've got Austin and Pericard signed up already. |

I love Phil Smith, just cos we could have been fucked when that cunt Brez got injured and he was outstanding.

I'm glad Smith is staying, he has been a decent keeper and is an excellent backup to Lucas and this wil lhopefully give him the confidence to push Lucas for the No 1 spot

not bothered too much about smith.i'm hoping we're in a higher division next year and aint convinced he's good enough.
as it stands he's an able deputy at the moment though.

Deadline for Paynter is approaching. If he doesnt sign then he will have to play out of his skin until the end of the season. Wilson will have Pericard in the side the second his performances slip if he hasnt signed.
Very suprised Amankwaah hasnt signed. Wilson has been somewhat of a mentor for him. Hes only ever produced really good form under Danny Wilson (here and at City). I do think if Amankwaah doesnt sign then Wilson wont ask again in the summer.

All that Fitton has said is that after the end of this week, all contract talks will be put on hold
until the summer.He and Wilson want the players fully focussed on the job in hand.None of us
have any idea of the contract offers and whether they are fair and reasonable in our eyes.
If the likes of Amankwaah and Paynter feel that they want to move on,then so be it.That will
have been their choice and they'll have to live with their decisions.

But it also has to be said that players agents do get involved and try to create stories in the hope that fans will pressure the board.
One story about Paynter moving to Rovers in the Bristol media was very fishy indeed, almost certainly planted.
It should be done behind closed doors, with players making their own choices. But in reality that isnt the case, agents leak stories and plant rumours, other so if fans take a negative attitude to how negotiations are stalling with some players then so be it?
From my perspective both of these players have been revived by a top manager. They have failed badly at other points in their careers.

We are all clearly some what biased but I think both would be stupid to move on.
As Spencer has said, they have both had poor spells at other clubs. In his last season at Swansea Big Kev wasnt even given a squad number.
I hope they are either just ironing out some minor details right now or they both think they can get more money (...and probably rightfully so) off the back of a promotion.
Both players have been in top form, this season but going into contract talks able to say you've just helped get the club promoted must at least increase your stock a little.
