Mateta Contract

[martinelliff]

Dont play players who want away. Play Larsen, give him a run in the team and play to his strengths. If he fails try someone else like Franca, rinse repeat. Coleman played up front in 1992. Butterworth did and scored 3. Stranger things have happened.

How did we treat him badly we offered him multi deals over multi years he has declined them believing he was worth more and then wanted to move to a bigger club.

The guy was useless when he came in and we could have done like we did with others but kept him around and the he was given a chance.

Do you know what his contract is? or the offers he had I don't believe you do.

I know he was paid far less then Nketiah, Kamada, JSL and various others. There was a period when he was scoring so often that it was ludicrous we didn’t offer him improved terms. I don’t know the exact figures but it’s simple that we would walk into the situation we are in now. The club has to accept some blame for this scenario.

The problems with Mateta began when he tried to manufacture a problem with Zaha.

Theres obviously 2 Mateta's the smiley jester for the cameras & disruptive bellend in the changing room.

Get rid.

I honestly feel sorry for Sage he's walked into a nightmare.

You have a copy of all these players contract do you?

Let me guess you are going by what a few web sites claim which are made up numbers.

He was offered new contracts and refused just like Guehi did.

He had 3 poor seasons and 3 good seasons which over those 3 good ones he has been declining.

If has tried taking action against the club to invalid his contract that speaks volumes about him so he cant even be bothered to wait until it expires.

Spot on.
No way back for him now in my eyes, hope the ungrateful tosser just moves on from our club asap now.

Totally agree. I love Mateta and what he has done for us…… but if he wants to leave so badly then I think we have to let him go.

I do think we treated him badly though. Should have signed him on a new deal two years ago. You can’t blame him for being pissed off when he’s scored all the goals but earns far less than those who contribute nothing.

How do we know we didn’t offer him a new contract? Surely it’s more likely we did it just wasn’t on the wages he can get elsewhere?

We’ve kept him to his original contract which he thought was a fair deal when he signed (when he was not an established top level striker).

He doesn’t owe us a new contract if we can’t afford what he can get elsewhere but we don’t owe him an early release either. Surely he only leaves before the end of his contract if it is the right thing for both parties?

It's pretty obvious that he would be on far less than the likes of Nketiah, Larsen etc as he joined as a relative unknown from a weaker league.

The only reason he is still on those reduced wages is that he turned down a contract improvement so he can wind down this contract and cash in by joining another club on a free transfer.

As I said in previous post, best thing now is just to get rid. Let's see if his new clubs fans are as forgiving as we were with his ability to miss open goals.

 

[Spindle]

These c**** just use us, and it pisses me off. He was shite for two years when joining, he owes two years for that dog s*** football.

 

[park the bus]

What with these revelations what must JSL be thinking? Can't even get a starting spot over a player who is now in dispute with the club. What a shambles.

Agreed. We should feck him off now.

Use the money to try to persuade Jarrod Bowen to piss off Danny Dyer and come here.

It's no good us going out to buy a young prospect. We need someone who has prem experience and has done it.

 

[syd snot]

f*** off mateta you vile little creature.
You were a c*** going nowhere in your career until Crystal Palace FC got hold of you and turned you into a decent player then you decide to treat us this way.
You sir are a c*** of the highest order, by all means f*** off and do it right away you snivelling little dweeb, you will not be missed.

 

[Fanofzhiyi]

If all this legal action is true then I’d sound out how much people are willing to pay and make a choice with sage.
Do we have target(s) we can buy with the money?

Mateta has done great things in a great palace team. Do I think he is bigger than us? Absolutely not. He is hit and miss. If Sarr and Mateta screw us over under the start of a new coach I hope our full support get behind sage and use this to motivate ourselves Neil warnock style. Time for a new era

 

[Fleximan]

If true regarding Mateta and Sarr get rid asap and get players in who want to play for us even if it means we get relegated ig time Charlie's!!!!
