DYC. 7,542 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Ramires and Cahill signing such long term contracts at 28/29. Preparing for the worst?Good squad player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon1991 191 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It sets a dangerous precedent.What's the point of offering 30+ years old players only one-year contracts and offer a 29 years old a 4-year contract? A 2-year deal would have been more coherent with the way of the club in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Power 147 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Surprised it is such a long term contract but I think he's done very well so far and with JT set to retire/leave soon, Cahill can be a real leader for us and his partnership with Kurt is looking good. Should be a squad player at the very least for the next three years. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Jase 43,476 Posted December 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2015 Signed a new contract!http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/12/new-deal-for-cahill.html?extcmp=SOCIA_TW_ENG_NEWS_CONTRACT Technically, he signed a 2-year contract extension since the previous one was due to expire in 2017. It is a decent decision to keep him - he can be a useful squad player (we can't fill the whole squad with world class players, can we?), is English (fills the HG quota as well) and if we decide to sell him at any time within the next 4 years, we can probably get a decent fee for him. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Skipper 20,593 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 He's a good player that can contribute to the squad game at the least so it's alright. As Jason also said, it's basically a 2 year extension which I'm fine with. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 12,049 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It sets a dangerous precedent.What's the point of offering 30+ years old players only one-year contracts and offer a 29 years old a 4-year contract? A 2-year deal would have been more coherent with the way of the club in my opinion.Defenders typically have long shelf lives. Think about it like this: in two years, his contract would have run out, so either the club can renew his contract on probably higher wages or let him go for free. This gives the club a little wiggle room; especially if they ever want to sell him.Besides, he signed a 2 year deal anyway. He had two years left + two added. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El P. 1,354 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Our policy is to give 30+ players one-year extension. Cahill is 29 (contract to 33 - another English CB John Terry had season of his life at 34). All good. Congrats! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 He actually had a very good first half but showed in the second why he can't be a starter for a team at the top: His decision making is often championship level. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
