Bula wants to stay but we are so slow in these things. Why are we hearing from the club we are confident to keep him, just get the deal done. If we leave it for beginning of the season we haven’t learnt a thing from last year.
Explain how the team starting the year has any relevance to the following 3 or 4 years
How many times do we do the same thing and say it’ll be different?
Not sure - we have no bargaining power though after the board mess. Can’t see us playing hardball and expecting a good outcome
Swap a promising young fullback with speed and athleticism for a reject old fullback with bad knees
My thoughts exactly. Hasn't set my world on fire yet! Still young but injury prone.
Our CEO said it too
If Bula doesn't sign soon the best thing to do is to wait to the last minute and take the club option, that will put Moses in his place.
A bit like when they start at a new club and say it's the toughest preseason training they have had. Yet to hear a player who says anything but - standard response.
Incoming more drama tantrums early releases and season derails for 2026
So if Bula starts 2026 in career best form helping us to be sitting comfortably in the top 8 and we are offering him as much as any rival club tj extend, do you think he would be thinking oh no I’m out of here because I don’t like how our board operates, or do you think he would more likely be of the thinking I’m at the club that gave me my opportunity, im now in career best form, our team is improving rapidly and I can’t get paid anymore anywhere else, why would I leave ?
Probably but he's too important a cog in the machine to let go early, not like the others last season, couldn't give a rats about them at the time.
