    If he is any good , we take up the third year of his contract, he will probably get a bit of a pay rise . if not he goes after the two years.

    I think there's a lot of different types of these. Some are straight forward does the club want to activate another year yes/no? And some are dependent on performance, for example appearances. I assume this is the former given that they've announced it as performance clauses are generally kept quiet.

    The right kind of signing.

    Watched the club's interview with Harry Lewis.
    A player with a smile on his face and someone who genuinely comes across as a really nice guy with an ambition and passion to do well obviously high on his agenda.
    Good Luck Harry with locating to the the area.
    Wishing you all the best for the coming season.

    Height given is 1.9m, this equals just under 6' 3".
    6' 4" sounds more impressive though, hope we have got a solid goalkeeper at last.

    Brad Jones, who went on to win the Eredivisie with Feyenoord, then the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr! He also won multiple cups with those clubs...

    But in his brief spell here, he was dreadful.

    Couldn't handle the pressure of the massive VP crowds, you see.

    Give over.. what do you want them to say , we are hiring a keeper who frankly isn’t very good, roll up, roll up get your season tickets here.

    He was highly rated by Southampton…otherwise why would they keep him on the books and pay him a wage so long? There are gems out there….It’s knowing where to look. Remember Mark Schwartzer? He wasn’t bad …plucked from Germany after he’d only played a handful of games for Kaiserslautern..

    Most of the praise in the article is direct quotes from the manager

    What do you expect Hughes to say "Hes a bag of shite but we've offered him a 2 year deal"??

    There is no give over about it. Its a cut and paste on all the shite weve signed year after year. A phrase they cant help themselves using.

    Highly rated by Southampton but 3 games in 6 years and released. Why dont you give over?!

    Reality is he may well be decent for our level. We shall see.

    I know I am just pointing out to Sergio Pinto that most of the praise was from the manager because he was having a go about what the clubs email said

    He’s dropping massively and wants to prove himself. Time will tell if he’s up to it but it just looks like he wants to play games, kick on and, as he says, be part of something. Welcome to the club, Harry.

    The opposite. Your sentence makes it sound like he definitely has three years unless we take some action to release him after 2. It's not that. His contract is 2 years but if we choose to take action then we can (depending on some terms) extend for one more year.

    I am optimistic with this signing. Mark Hughes has seen for himself what the player brings and wants to sign him. He hasn't been sold to us by an over enthusiastic agent or on the basis of video highlights.
    We moved quickly to sign him. It suggests he was high up on Hughes' target list.

    Apologies Park.

    I think the club do go OTT at times though, and no doubt Hughes gave a statement, but Sparks and the gang have probably thrown a handful of claret and amber glitter over it.

    At least we don't have to ensure Masons claxon anymore and seemed go about our transfer business in a more efficient manner.

    Blackburn did it with Brereton Diaz. They just took up an option to give him another year rather than letting him go for free.

    I suppose its just clubs protecting themselves if players are a success, without tying themselves down, in our case, with a three year concrete deal
