Eccleston rejects new contract

[WaltonRed]

I'd reject it as well for the reasons SD has said.

 

If Mavinga is as good as people say why hasnt he been on the bench instead of Ayala?

[Dirty Parry]

eccleston has played in the first team already. he's a very good prospect. we dont know what the contract is and as to those saying you dont reject an Liverpool contract, didnt rafa reject 3 or 4 contracts. oh thats different is it.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

It's hard to judge Eccleston for rejecting the contract without actually knowing its details.

A top proven manager with vast amounts of experience and a young kid trying to make it in the game not even experienced at reserve level? Just a little different i think.

It is. And it does not seem to be.

[Mathewbet1]

Some mancs are saying his nose has been turned by fergie.

Ayala has been at the club longer but Mavinga does look a good defender.

 

Lets not go overboard about him though.

 

He looks good but still needs time to be ready for the first team.

i dont think theres any difference. both are looking to their best interests. both have a right to say what is not as they expect.

 

we havent a clue what is on the table to eccleston yet already hes being made out to be the bad boy.

[PaulMcC]

Ayala is better in the air than Mavinga.

[PaulMcC]

How did SSN find out?

 

Didn't someone (Ant i think) say Spearing and Darby rejected contracts too? That got sorted out.

Shocking that if true, although if Rafa had any wind of that I dont think he'd be getting a few sub apperances currently, tbh Amoo looks the bollocks, and I really think within 18 months he'll be a match day squad regular.

[Vulmea]

could be because he's 3 inches taller and part psycho just guessing though......

And that's probably why he's in the squad ahead of Mavinga.

WHS. when you work on a contract basis rather than us mere mortals as employees, you dont just accept the first contract put in front of you. as you mention others have done the same. dont know why some seem to thing the lad should just bend over and take it because its the club. ok if he starts asking for ridiculous things thats a different matter but at the moment we know squat.

'Sum manx'? As in a few mongs on RedCafe trying to wind you up?

 

There hasn't even been any official confirmation on this, and it looks like it was leaked to LFC Online, and for some reason SSN picked up on it as a minor story, probably to fit in with the whole 'LFC crisis' thing they've got going on. Or maybe no one is that arsed.

[Liquid football]

when i shut my eyes and try to imagine him at the christmas fancy dress, it's all very blurry - nothing tangible at all. A good indicator that he's not going to make it in my opinion.

[zigackly]

Much as part of me would be disappointed with an academy kid spurning a contract with us, if he really is off then another part of me can understand someone not wanting to commit to the car crash our club is rapidly becoming.

[Kennys_spell]

Eccleston is a good prospect, a shame if he leaves, but I understand him if he does. We have been buying old squad players for a decade instead of encuraging talent

 

Just remind me who brought Ecclestone in from Man Utd.

[PaulMcC]

He didn't come from Man united.

[Kennys_spell]

He didn't come from Man united.

 

I'm pretty sure he did. Wasn't he on an extended trial with them from Bury?

[PaulMcC]

Not from the interviews i've read.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

He's not ever going to get a sniff of first time football here. He'd be better off trying to further his career elsewhere tbh.

 

You could apply that to pretty much all our nippers.

[Maldini]

Did they say why he rejected it? Could just be money

Rafa never rejected an offer, they were in protracted negotiations, but he never rejected a proper offer.

 

I'm pretty sure he did. Wasn't he on an extended trial with them from Bury?

 

Nah, we signed him from Bury.

[Allan]

He was born in Manchester and was signed from Bury when he was 15.

 

I thought he'd had a trial with the Mancs in his younger days, before he signed for Bury, but I may be wrong.

The Mancs thought he wasn't good enough and we picked him up afterwards.
