    3 years. What does that take him to 36? It’s is madness.

    Stupid deal but pleased for him. Glad he’s staying but I did say don’t break the bank.

    fantastic news Cook has signed and he fully deserves it, he clearly wanted to stay and held a lot of aces in the bargaining stakes, his record at this level is second to none

    Well done to the club for making this happen

    The season he's had had given him a great hand of cards. Suspect the club would have been wanting a two year deal but when you have a lot of offers in your pocket you can call the shots to some extent. Fans love him and with the right service and formation he'll guarantee you goals.just need some decent wide players and midfielders now.

    and they haven’t. Concessions will have been given by both parties. He wants to end his career here, we will no doubt be paying him a little more but over three years instead of two. More manageable. You know like PayPal for big items three months no interest ;)

    What other choice is there ? He's just had the season of his life, I'm damn sure he's already had other offers and I'm.damn sure some of those will be three year terms.

    So what do we do when he comes asking for three years eh ? Say sorry pal we don't think you'll ever score 20 again, and let him go, or give him three years.

    This deal is inevitable, unavoidable (unless we are happy to let him go) and when compared to 18 months for Derbyshire it's common sense.

    The simple fact is, if we offered him two years, he would have gone and some of those moaningvabout a three year deal would be screaming lack of ambition.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't and in life you should only regret what you never did, but could have.

    3 years does seem a long deal at his age, but 30 goal strikers don’t grow on trees. My only hope, is that he respects his body for every year of the 3 just as he has during this last year, and not the overweight version we had during 21/22. He had something to fight for and prove last time.

    Rubbish. How old is Billy Sharp, how old was Peter Thorne, how old was windass. You are an absolute monster hypocrite, if we'd lost him you would have been spouting your rupp out shite until you'd had a brain haemorrhage

    Great news. I thought this would rumble on all summer, will he or won't he.

    I suspect we have had to offer 3 year deal to match maybe what other clubs were offering over 2 year deal.

    Good start to summer

    The only thing worse than a hypocrite is a deluded hypocrite.

    Hopefully an excellent goal bonus as well as a further incentive.
