We had a years extension option and I assume his previous contract was pretty low pay given he just gave signed it whilst nowhere near a first team regular.

I heard his agent had him a move lined up at the time.

        that does not state that a longer contract was rejected (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 1, 15:47:35
        
        Why would he be offered the same terms ... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 1, 16:11:03
        
        No it doesn't. And terms are always individual. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Oct 1, 15:54:03

        Well Webber clearly hints at the agent/someone being difficult in that negotiation ... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 1, 16:15:00
        
        Where is the anti-Todd bandwagon? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 1, 16:09:42
