That means nothing as contracts/deals are down on the ph/email etc etc

Warnock gave them both one week, over a week ago.

I don't think we will end up with both.

Gunnarsson will see how he does in the World Cup & Hoilett, I hear other clubs are offering good wages.

I will be happy if Hoilett signs :thumbright: :bluebird:

Personally id tell them both to jog on now.
Hoillett more than gunnarsson aswell simply because his career was going no where before he signed for us. Warnock showed loyalty in him. He's not doing the same back

kind of agree thought id rather both stay.

gunners gets far more abuse than hoilett on here but Hoilett for me is far worse.

Annis my take on this week to sign was just paper talk, when you offer someone a contract you have to give them time to accept or refuse it, putting a time limit of a few days is not the way it is done, and personally I do not think Warnock would have put a time limit of a few days, a time limit yes but not that time frame, but what do i know :laughing6:

I know nothing either :lol:

But also if Gunners does really well in the World Cup, he then becomes to expensive for us.

Plus Warnock is an impatient man and will expect Hoilett to tell him yes or no.

Rem Warnock won't have a big budget and can't offer what many other clubs can, Warnock will want these positions sorted asap :thumbright: :bluebird:

I don't think Gunners will do really well in the World cup, he has started to suffer injuries and for a player that dives around tackling all day that will affect his game.

I think Hoillet will sign and hope he does, but I get the feeling Ginner has had enough and wants to move on, not too sad now he's getting the injuries and we can probably get better.

well QPR had offered Hoillett a contract and its hard to belueve he had NO other offers..and lets be honest signung for bottom 3 team in the championship is hardly a dream move

You never know regarding Gunners, if he fails in the World Cup, then he won't get Premiership football.

I really hope Hoilett signs :thumbright: :bluebird:

Re: ' Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett '

Mon Jun 04, 2018 9:22 am

I hope hoilet signs but I'm not to sure if he's really top quality premiership player ,gunner I would let go ,not good enough for the premiership we need better if we are going to stay up

Re: ' Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett '

Mon Jun 04, 2018 10:19 am

Apparently Aron Gunnarsson is in excellent shape .

Gunners will be fully tested on the 16th June v Argentina

Re: ' Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett '

Mon Jun 04, 2018 10:42 am

If true that Gunnarson said hed stay if we got to Premiership then obviously its down to money/terms or hes waiting to see what offers come in after world cup. Get Grujic back and give him his place.

Agree I think grulic is a better player

Re: ' Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett '

Personally would like Junior Hoilett to stay but the signs are not good, which surprises me given the Bluebirds can offer him Premier League football and also his footballing relationship with Neil Warnock. He has come on leaps and bounds in his time at the CCS

I'm sure he has options but I thought he was settled here? :?

Gunnarsson for me can go with my genuine thanks for his efforts! :wave:

Don't dislike him as a player. He's been good for City, although I think he actually 'unbalanced' the team when he came back late season and we hit a bad run of results.

He may be at the peak of his powers in the contract stakes but he made his position clear some months ago and (for me) that was disrespectful to the club (and supporters) that have treated him well for many years

He effectively said "I'm off! But in the event City go up, I might decide to stay!"

Really? :shock: I don't think so! :(

Committed players only for the battles ahead at Neil Warnock's Cardiff City! :thumbright: :ayatollah:

100% Agree with everything. I'll be worried if Hoilett doesn't put pen to paper within the week.

Re: ' Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett '

Mon Jun 04, 2018 12:05 pm

Isnt there an actual deadline where the club have to release a player who is out of contract? or is it they just have to offer them a deal. Im guessing that's the delay in not announcing the retained list yet.

Just my thoughts on this matter. my initial reaction to this was players loyalty,then I thought deeper, unless these players become coaches they have very short careers,heroes often become villains ,I wonder who amongst you out there would not look to their own interest if they were in their shoes.

The issue is, Hoilett is no better than a mid table prem player.
We've just gone up & he'd be one of the first three current players on the team sheet.
If all goes pear-shaped next season then I understand him leaving but why now!?

Again, I agree! All seems a little odd under the circumstances but hopefully soon sorted and we know Neil Warnock won't take any messing from any players who isn't committed to this club! :thumbright:

He'll probably return from Canada and sign - He seems happy here and Warnock said he agreed it verbally.
Probably us lot panicking over nothing :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I understand his contract runs out of 30th June? :?

If correct, maybe missing a pay day in July might sharpen his mind! :thumbright: :laughing6:

I was talking with Jamie Kemble who has interviewed Warnock.

Warnock was very confident that Hoilett will sign.

I didn’t ask about Gunner tbh.

Feel we need Hoilett to sign, we won’t find much better with our budget.

Gunnarsson can go.
