Great news this.

All these ITK accounts who were saying he was off and unhappy lol

Brilliant news .

Surprising but fantastic news.

Seems like everyone is buying into Parker and his managerial style - heard another glowing report earlier.

More good news ffs what is going on We have been so used to doom and gloom

I’m sure it will have a release clause that suits both club and player

Good news least we’ll get good money in next summer

Great stuff! Well chuffed with this.

Fantastic. Going for an exciting combination of men and boys! Definitely the way forward. Well chuffed.

Excellent news

Excellent words from the young man and I’m absolutely buzzing to hear comments like that.

Sounds like we’ve turned a corner and we’ve got some of that Dyche “group” mentality going on again.

Interview living in t minus 90 seconds:

Yes, no doubt about it. Excellent news.

Wasn’t expecting that one.

Positive signs that some form of stability is returning to the club.

Great news.

Fantastic news. Hopefully this will help him to get rid of any other thoughts and concentrate on his game. He was weirdly off it v them lot but when he is at it, nothing comes close to him.

Just watched his interview on Instagram.. if anyone was in any doubt about the team environment last season, then listen to that. He couldn't have made it any clearer really when he talked about the things he's learnt from the last year.

Absolutely stunning business

Great news and I imagine the release clause will be set at an eye watering amount for a club of our size.

All those people having meltdowns 2 weeks ago.

Great news. Just good for a stack of reasons.

It should be if we turned down 22m from wolves.

Fantastic news and glad we have tied down which helps us get a bigger fee and gives is a bit more power.

These contracts though are just done to make sure the player no longer has the wage drop relegation brings them

Wow!

Fair do's

I know….crazy to think a few people were worried when we sold most of the first team and struggled to field a side against Sunderland

Not to be a doom and gloomer but this will be a result of him and his agent kicking up a fuss and demanding a new contract after the interest in him over the summer. It's just better copy to bill it as "Five more years" rather than "Massive pay rise" (absolutely fair play to Luca, not knocking him!)

Positive of course is that it should increase the amount another club is willing to pay.

A clause could work in both parties favours or just one, yet to be seen.

Excellent player with plenty of room for improvement.

Great news. The lad is lightning and looks like we can look forward to seeing a bit more from him.

The news coming out of Turf Moor over the past few days suggests to me that the feel-good factor is returning to the club under Scott Parker, following the horrors of last season.

Excellent news.

Just don’t use the “B” word…

Whether this is to ensure a (far) higher sale price down the line, or his own commitment, or both - it’s fantastic news regardless. Well done to the club.

Obviously he's gonna be on more money, he was one of our lowest earners. Good deal all round

Crazy

Great news . But I thought the same when zaroury and benson signed 5 year deals. A lot can happen in 12 months

Great business for everyone involved

Great news

Brilliant !

I imagine that contributed to the massive profit we made on AZ

Longer contracts on the whole work in our favour

Am well suited with this news.

I believe a lot of those deals last year were promotion clauses

As it turns out though it was just a media personality on twitter who was claiming we were selling most of our first team rather than the reality.

You don’t sign a new deal with a promotion pay rise clause to my knowledge, it’s part of the existing contract. Any new contracts signed would have been completely independent of the previous ones. I imagine the club believed at the time they had earned a new contract and believed those players values were likely to increase so wanted to secure them on longer deals and keep them happy. Obviously it didn’t pan out that way.

The deals they signed in 2022 had guarantees should we win promotion. That’s why so many signed extensions a year ago.

Excellent news, lets hope he tears up the championship now

That’s right, they were guaranteed and were automatically activated on promotion. No signatures required.

Same as relegation pay cuts, they are automatically activated. That’s why we don’t see every player signing new contracts on relegation.

Maybe I’m miss understanding the point. Not trying to be an ar*e, I just believe they were bard new contracts and nothing to do with previous clauses

Last season we have
Benson
Zaroury
Cullen
Vitinho
Foster

All sign new deals which felt like it was to get the players from the Belgium league in line with the rest of the squad wage wise

Fantastic news and as he was a 18 year old with little experience I am sure he was on peanuts, which not only makes sense for everyone to agree a new deal, it also makes us understand why he may have been keen on a move, if indeed he was.

Given the likely desire from Luca for a pay-rise it also makes me think the power was with the club and maybe no clauses were inserted which ties the club’s hands, simply because they would have no need to tie him down further. Not like players like Amdouni who were already established stars.

There were a lot of factors in the team selection at Sunderland, very few were about which players had been sold.

Very happy with this news. Electric pace.

Happy he's committed to us but he will have something wrote in his contract that allows him to go if fee is matched what the club want like the rest who went in last transfer window. All he needs to do is concentrate on is playing well for us and the rest will be taken care of..
