Gutted for Jake.
Had a decent season, and one week before the end he gets an ACL injury.
When it was announced we had a fully fit squad two weeks ago you knew that trouble was ahead. Wasn't true because Washington had to be eased back into the team and the ongoing Chuks Aneke adventure.
Not sure how the politics plays out if your contract runs out at the end of June and you will only be fit for selection around March 22. Tear or Rupture will determine the rehabilitation process and length.
Robbie Savage said he never even had a pulled hamstring in his long career yet Jake has had two ACL.
If Jake wins the POTY ( I voted for Chuks as he influences the game the most in his truncated time on the field) it will give JFC a boost in his recovery whether with Cafc of another club after his recovery.2 -
Thomas has only done the right thing since he’s been here so will be amazed if jake doesn’t get at least another year.3
-
Gutted for him. POTS for me. Hope he gets another contract

What a nightmare end to his best season with us so far.3 -
I think offering JFC another year sends a message to all players and is absolutely the right thing to do which will do us no harm in the long term.12

I’m playing football on Monday against his close mates. Assuming they’re playing I’ll ask after him and send our regards. I’ll tell them to mention this thread so he can take a look if he wants too.13 -
Right thing to do to feed an extra year from a point of view of messaging to other players going out of contract in future and getting worried about injuries near the end of the season.
Would be interesting to know why JFC had not already signed an extension though - i.e his choice or ours.2 -

It's 100% the right thing to do. Especially for our 2nd longest serving player and one that has played nearly every game this season.
There’s no room for sentiment in football. Thomas would not take kindly to paying someone a pity wage. Come and use our facilities for your recovery, sure. But let’s only be offering contracts to players that are actually in Nigel’s plan.2 -
JFC is the only footballer I can think of that was physically stronger after an ACL. Nice bloke, wish him all the best, hope he stays. He just brought a house in Lingfield so suspect he thought he would be staying.3

If it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all0

The numbers are such that giving JFC another year will cost the club $200-250k at a rough guess. The decision makers at the club will have to weigh up the pros and cons and decide if spending that amount of money will be worth it if he can only play half a season. If they make that call, I will support it.1 -

But he could argue he did this because of the risk of injury. Added to that, no point to expect any player at the end of their contract to bust a gut for us.1

Gutted for him, hopefully it's not as bad as before.0

I think all our players should do precisely nothing for the duration of their contracts, because of the risk of injury.3 -

But imagine you are a player going in for a challenge near the end of the season. You want them thinking they are going to win it not if I go for that and get injured I might not get a club. A few months out becomes a bigger issue as you get nearer the end of your contract.0
-
That will always happen whether we offer JFC a contract extension here or not. Oh I wasn’t going to go crunching into that tackle but wait a minute I just remembered they gave Jake that contract when he got hurt.0

He played knowing his contract was ending. He took the risk. We should rehabilitate him but not pay him. I'm sorry both sides knew the dangers of running down the contract.1

If he hadn't been injured in 18/19 he would have still played over 30 games. Despite being not 1st choice. He would have been behind Cullen and Beilek. So were Lapslie and Reeves. Guess what those 2 played over 40 games between them!
You need at least 6 center mids. You aren't getting 5 better than JFC, not in league 1.
This is a league 1 rebuild. We aren't buying the man city team.
Plus what's 200k when your talking about 10s of millions of quid?4 -
Is JFC a Championship player? As good as he’s been this season I don’t believe he is.2

It's because we aren't buying the Man City team that we need to be careful. We can't spent 5k per week on six midfielders after spending 48k p/w (wage cap) total for the duration of the prior season. Wage cap won't exist for next year but I'm sure we won't let the wage bill explode. Spending 40-50% of the budget on six players that all play the same position would be madness.2
