In my opinion the club would hardly be taking a speculative gamble by offering Kee a deal. We all know his talent and have seen that the lad has promise. Hardly a gamble !!!

Had we been a little bolder as a club, we would have reaped a reward by signing Carl Baker. That time a fee was involved (£50k reportedly??) which the club weren't prepared to pay. A couple of seasons down the line he went for big money and the club missed out on a big pay day with probably sell on clauses.

This time the financial question is the wage and a contract, no transfer fee involved. If we're to go anywhere near challenging for promotion and invest in the future, surely signing Kee has to rank as a priority, likewise getting the other main men tied down to contracts longer than a season.

Spot on Carpon IMHO.
