Amo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Very strange. His original deal didn't end until next year and I don't imagine we're fighting off teams with a pointy stick to keep him here. He's a below-par lower league keeper and I think we could easily improve on him as a deputy for Robinson or whoever ends up being future no. 1.

Backroom DE. Posted February 28, 2014 Backroom Share Posted February 28, 2014 At 24 Eastwood is not a young player anymore and I'm not sure he's done much to earn a contract extension. That said, keepers can play well into their late 30's so Eastwood still has some time to improve. He needs at least two seasons at lower division clubs to hone his trade before being giving another go between the sticks here, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABBEY Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This decision is definitely another insane loopy VENKYSCUM decision . There are Sunday morning keepers with more skill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAL Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is this a sign of future standards dropping at Ewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthblue02 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 When does Robinson's contract run out? EDIT: According to the transfermarkt.com website Robinson's contract is up in June this year, so looks like It;s going to be Kean and Eastwood from next season onwards , hence Eastwood's new contract to go beyond any possible transfer embargo's., Can't really see Robinson getting a new contract if the cost cutting continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABBEY Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is this a sign of future standards dropping at Ewood.

Stuart Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If we plan it have Eastwood as No.1 next season then... ...well, let's just hope we get promoted this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.J.Newton Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The length does seem a bit excessive, but its nothing major, I mean how much is he going to be on a week? 5k max + appearance fees, maybe(or is that a very naïve guestimation from me?) and he's an adequate back up keeper.

tomphil Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 He hasn't proved himself an adequate back up keeper though has he. If Robbo hadn't been fit to come back we'd have had to throw Kean back in or get a loan in because Eastwood was poor. He'll be cheap that's why he ended up here and Robbo will depart in the summer, all the high earners will let's not pretend. As said it's a sign of things to come. Hopefully the lad will get better as he's young for a keeper and not vastly experienced at any first team level but for me he needs loaning out to play everyweek even at lower level. He won't get better sat on the bench This lad has Darren Collier written all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverthechimp Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 or we are securing our backup keeper and either robbo gets an extension or we bring in a new first choice during the summer... mines half full ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McClarky Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Shows that the club isn't learning lessons. Why give someone a longer contract, presumably on more money, when there is no need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDRover Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This fella cost us as much as it cost Burnley to acquire Tom Heaton. Just let that sink in for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverthechimp Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Shows that the club isn't learning lessons. Why give someone a longer contract, presumably on more money, when there is no need to?It is possible that his previous contract stipulated it based on appearances, sub appearances etc.Stuart - if robbo is willing to stay for 25k/week do you let him go and spend that anyway on another keeper (say 500k fee, 10k week and signing "bonus") or keep him?

chaddyrovers Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Eastwood deal has ONLY been extended by a year. nothing major. I think Robbo will leave in the summer tbh if we dont go up. shame really been a good keeper for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
