Ogbene

[Brin]

A waste of time even offering Ogbene a new contract,same goes for Barlaser. You have to view it on the basis that they will play all season for far less than their current market value and hopefully contribute to keeping us up.

Are you actually saying Stewart won’t pay realistic wages for Championship players? 10 k a week in the Championship is the norm don’t you know.

Both Ogbene and Barlaser are 10k a week players in any championship side.

Will the club react forthwith and pay the going rate or let them both do a Smith and Icky?

I honestly don't think the club would offer 10k a week when they don't have to and I don't think either would be advised to sign it anyway. The problem with offering 10k a week is over the reduction clause that would be insisted on should we be relegated.Given both their ages there is also the career progression aspect which didn't apply to Smith and Icky as much and so both players will be setting their goals far higher than a return to League 1 next season.
