It's going to be like Maldini and Baresi watching him and Greaves strut around the Championship next season.

Getting relegated all the time must be really tedious as a player too, but this is very good news.

An important statement of intent that. Many onlookers would have been expecting him to head straight back to the Prem.

Really pleased with this news.

Statement of intent. Important to keep the squad together to a large extent, especially those who performed better and have good experience.

We will have some successes in this regard, and we will have some failures. That's life. Delap was unavoidable, Burgess was one that presumably Kieran was comfortable with. The question marks now I suppose are Omari and Axel. I'd love to keep both, but if we lose Axel and keep Omari, then that will have been a decent window on the retention side. And we know that Dara can play over on the right if needs be.

Centre mid rebuild, another striker, decisions decisions on keepers, and we'll see what else comes out of left field. Metaphorically speaking.

I really do think Morsy will play a bigger part this coming season than some think, and he should remain club captain. No problem with Dara being captain when Morsy's not on the pitch though, of course.

I suspect we've had to pay big wages for Dara, but needs must. We wouldn't have been able to attract similar (proven) quality at this level, probably even paying over the odds.

I also imagine there will be some kind of release clause in the event that we don't go back up. In this particular case, that would be entirely fair enough, and justified. His choice was either to force a move to a Premier League club, which I'm sure he could've done, and risked that club being in /another/ relegation battle, or stay with Town and commit to the project of trying to get us up and stay up. If risking losing him next year in the event of a failed promotion bid is the price of making our promotion bid stronger, then it's a no brainer.

Statement of intent, and a statement of confidence in the wider plan as well.

There's no point in signing younger/youngish players with decent ceilings, if we can't keep hold of them after one half-decent season.

If we're to stand even half a chance should we get promoted at the end of this season, we need to be able to keep hold of a good few of our better players, and have them get a further year of development under their belts pre-26/27.

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright.

I suspect this removes any relegation buyout clause too, so it's not just about the extra year.

Woolfie, Dara and Greaves should all get plenty of game time across the season. Baggott might get some bench time if any of them get injured.

Sensible to sign that extension, gives him security. I could still see the odd offer come in for him. He is very comfortable at Championship level and did not look out of place in the Prem. Depends on his own ambition levels.

Good to have early decisions in defence sorted and not get distracted away from the main task of finding a new central midfield and a new striker (or two).

Hopefully it may persuade a few of the others to think twice about jumping ship. The more of this team we can keep together, the better.

Can't see why Woolfenden will get some time unless O'Shea picks up an injury or suspension. McKenna has made his preference clear.

Yeah fair play to him, I was worried he was gonna be off.

Was unsure when we first signed him but was a standout last season, could be one of the best players in the Championship this season, a great bit of news.
