http://www.thisisstfc.co.uk/News_Headlines_Story.asp?NewsID=4390This is all a bit confusing. King says that if a club bids the set figure in SSP's contract then they can talk to him, but we are under no obligation to sell? how the hell does that work? I dont really see the point in it.

No, mine has the word 'cool' in therefore rendering any other thread on the subject un-cool, ergo mine's better!

So it seems that we may not lose SSP in the summer after all. If we're looking for close to £1m for him, I honestly cant see anyone paying that for him.
Which makes me think we'll lose him for nothing in the summer instead :?

I reckon they're trying to cover that debt that needs to be paid next year (£700K?) and maybe enough to get a decent replacement in.

But didn't he say he would sign an extension if no-one bought him this summer, what a legend  |

All ifs and buts if you ask me.
Nice to see the club trying to ward of any chancers offering low bids. SSP is probably our only asset on the playing side. They surely won't let him go gratis at the end of next year if my assesment of the current financial state of play is true.
I also can not see the board being able to stop Sam if he wants to move to a higher league club and slaps in a transfer request.

You'd rather see him go for money, than stay for a year and score the goals to gain us promotion next season? Interesting point of view from the Liverpool fan.

Getting a bit carried away there Jan, his goals haven't got us promotion in the last three seasons, admittedly there is a better chance of success with him here, but no guarenteed promotion, that's for sure. |

I dont recall him ever saying that if no-one buys him he'll sign a new deal. The club spoke to him about extending when all the other players were offered deals but he said he wasnt interested at that point.
Still, if we get some decent players in and have a good start to the season then he might consider signing on for another 2 seasons. Thats a big IF though.
