It’s a one-year extension to his current deal?

He signed a 3 year deal when he signed, so yes, its just an extra year.

It makes sense as we need a back-up 'keeper.

But to 2020 though? Ridiculous.

His deal expired in 2019... so any extension would take it to 2020.

I don't really think we needed to extend it, like. Another year was fine.

Im not sure he is, we have a few highly rated keepers, but they are very, very young atm.

Eh?

It's a 1 year extension.

Not sure why we bothered like. Even if he's back up this season his existing contract would have sufficed.

Pretty normal club business imo.
Or we could have had Rob Green :blush:

If Newcastle are actually in for Baines I'd be tempted to offload. One of the highest earners and although sentiment is obviously there, we have a habit of hanging on to players for far too long.

Not that Chelsea are a prime business model to go by but Lamps, Terry, Drogs etc all shipped out when no longer required. Digne and Robinson will do for me.

If Newcastle were to bid for any of our players I'd be demanding lascelles. Were we not interested in him when he was at forest?

I don't think I could bear to part with Leighton though.

..I recall rumours of a French club being interested, it’s probably required to keep him at the club. I have no problem with this, it means the club can concentrate on other matters.
