When are CFC going to sign Cripps up long term

[1981]

Club said they would work on this in the off season.
Anyone heard any news?
I'd have thought aside from not buggering up out picks next week, signing Cripps long term should be priority no.1 for the club.

Love Cripps as much as the next. But you need to chill.

He's still got two more years left.

And he signed an extension one year into his rookie contract.

All good, nothing to see here.

 

[HBF]

Not worried at all.
Could very well be our next captain and he doesn't appear the type who would leave ala Henderson and Yarran.

 

[zeeCFC]

takes time to draft up a 20yr contract.

 

[1981]

I'm a huge fan obviously but I'm more just following up on what the club said - that they'd be talking to him this off season to sign up LT

 

[Aphrodite]

It's still the off season and he is contracted until 2017.

I'm not concerned at all.

As zeeCFC mentioned above, it takes time to draft up a 20yr contract.

Why the panic? Surely Patrick has a say in all this.

If he wants to stay, we offer him ridiculous money and the captaincy.

If not, we take Liam Duggan + an exchange of picks.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I reckon you need to be a little bit careful about pushing too hard too. Don't want to come across as the needy girlfriend, desperate for commitment and end up pushing him away.

The ****?

 

[HBF]

The ****?

You taken him out for dumplings yet Thy?

 

[AceAndy]

You taken him out for dumplings yet Thy?

I thought we wanted him to stay

 

[HBF]

I thought we wanted him to stay

We do, but the old boy knows all the good dumpling places in and around Melbourne. Might just be enough for Crippa to extend his contract.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

The ****?

Poor analogy?
Don't want to put too much pressure on him to commit. Give him time to settle.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

The ****?

The off season began like a week ago...

Great thread 10/10

He's already signed up long term...







... to my heart.


*drops mic*

 

[slashin_velvet]

Not in his interest to re-sign until later this season after he's really shown his value. I'm sure were keen to sign him early and get a bargain, but I think we wait until later this year, pay him what he's worth, and offer him first dibbs on the captaincy when Murph retires.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

....think I heard him say 'I just want to get back to playing some good football and we'll sit down at the end of the year".

takes time to draft up a 20yr contract.

14 yr playing contact plus 6 years of stud duties ??? Sounds like a great plan all round

 

[Weiterbot23]

10 year 7 million dollar deal. We would have robbed him blind if we got him to ink that tomorrow.

 

[GordonBlue]

I reckon you need to be a little bit careful about pushing too hard too. Don't want to come across as the needy girlfriend, desperate for commitment and end up pushing him away.

But it's blatantly obvious we are the neediest girlfriend that one could get. Cripps has to text Bolts every 20 minutes when he's not at the club. And every 25 when he is.

 

[GordonBlue]

I would sign his offsprings on a 15 year deal... each
