    Dubs and Krafth

    ...both signed contract extensions.

    Good move, imo. Dubs has been very good since Pope's injury and Krafth offers decent cover.

    Don't have a problem with this at all.

    Likewise. Two solid professionals who will also benefit the squad.


    Neither will be first choice next season but will certainly lift the quality of the squad floor.

    Dont see the point in giving Dubravka a new deal we already have Pope and Vlachodimos who are better keepers anf if the reports about Trafford are true for the summer it makes even less sense, Glad about Krafth though sold versatile player.

    Great to see Dubs sign I prefer him over Pope after Pope dislocated his shoulder. But didn?t we spend 20m on a keeper in the summer? That?s bad business who is responsible for that?

    Greek deal had to be a back-scratcher, considering we tried to loan him out in Jan.

    I'm pleased with new deals myself.

    Also, I think that Dubs has been given an extension so we get something if we sell in the summer.

    On the face of it under the circumstances, yes, good moves for the squad with a need for defenders with Kelly going and Popes balsa wood shoulder.

    However, something doesn't sit right with me about it. Kraft is 30 now and we need to be looking to the future and I know he has been unlucky with injuries and solid on his day but still. If the deal is right for the club finacially then fair enough.I supppse.

    Dubs is around the same vintage as Pope and he looks good currently but we really need one or the other I think 1 player not two halves. If that makes sense.

    Maybe I am grumpy today worried about the Forest game.
