Rumour Nic Nat contract talks to be put on hold

[East coast eagle]

No NN is from perth, well moved from Sydney when he was 2 or something. He also never said he was delaying talks, actually the opposite that they were close to a deal.

 

[pantskyle]

Yeah, just like everyone else who "Delays contract talks until the seasons over". Was he a Victorian? he wants to head home maybe.

Nothing has been delayed.

They are already in talks.

 

[WCFaithful]

not going anywhere, ever.

Lol, don't even bother with this guy.

There was a deleted tweet the other day from NN about signing a new deal. It's not far off.

Oh hey look at what's come out today -

Perth Now
$5 MILLION MAN: West Coast sensation Nic Naitanui is certain to re-sign with the Eagles on a massive deal worth as much as $5 million over five years.

The powerhouse will join an elite club - only five players earned more than $1 million last season.

Tell us, do you think Nic Nat is worth that much?

Some absolutely ripping comments from Fox Footy's FB post:

Doesnt say which club he is signing with! Hes a marketing tool, not a clue how to play the game but a pure athlete none the less. From a marketing point of view 5mil is a bargain.

Most overrated million dollar player behind Buddy "the flog" Franklin!

How to blow 5 mill.

Can not be serious, so inconsistent.

Surprised he got that when there is pretty much nil chance that he would go elsewhere, probably worth it though.

 

[le dominateur]

Makes the Buddy deal look great value.

Don't mind it. Makes it easy to spot those who only have a shallow understanding of the game.

 

[Matchu]

You can't be serious? A five year deal will keep Naitanui at the Eagles until 29 years of age.

 

[HBF]

If he can get fit and get some consistency into his game then it's a bargain for West Coast.
Has the potential to be the best player in the game.

Based on some posts around here, so does half of BigFooty.

300K pa of the contract is a special hype payment.

Some absolutely ripping comments from Fox Footy's FB post:

Love FB football comments. Some of the great readings include the Hawks FB after they beat Brisbane 3rds by 120 a couple of weeks ago, and North fans wanting to drop Hanson and Thomas for Daw and Edwards.

Anyway, looks like WC kept their man. With Glass and Cox nearing the end (would have a huge chunk on the veterans list surely?), and Kerr, and a few others (Selwood, Nicoski, Embley) retiring, they have the ability to overpay (if you call it 'overpaying') anyway. NicNat fit will be worth every single penny of this $1mil/year

There was a ripper when the Saints announced their new pre season jumper: "gonna need more then a Guernsey if they want to win premiership"

It's true though, you can't deny that.

[Quinz]

Wants a 20 year contract <3 I say we give it to him.

Great that he's always been so positive about staying with the club, even before he was drafted he was wanting to get here.

 

[Jack_the_Ninja]

5 Million ? worth every cent.

 

[Matchu]

Is there a reason Nic Nat hasn't re-signed yet?

 

[Superstar swan]

Do you still believe this?

 

[Quinz]

Both parties probably waiting to see how he recovers from his OP and various other injuries.

 

[Superstar swan]

He seems to be struggling with his leap this year and explosive pace, some believe That he may have some permanent damage to his groins. As Quinz said, probably best to see how his body holds up before offering a major deal
