Christie confident of Dods deal

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Charlie Christie is confident stopper Darren Dods will accept a new deal with the Highland club.

The 31-year-old, who signed on a free transfer from St Johnstone two seasons ago, has been linked with a move to Dundee United who are managed by former Caley player-manager Craig Brewster.

But Christie said: "I've met with Darren and his agent about an extension to his contract which expires at the end of next season.

"I'm very encouraged with the response in these discussions and hopefully we can work to complete detailed negotiations within a couple of weeks."

Sorry if this has already been posted/is common knowledge.

Best news of the close season yet. This is also on Teletext just now. I thought Dods was immense last year and was my vote for ICT player of the year. You get what you see with Dodsy, no nonsense no frills defending, but consistently fabulous throughout the whole season, and a couple of goals thrown in for good measure. He has taken on the gap left by Bobby and continued to give the team a platform from which to build from.

He is some Machine, and he does run on diesel. Last year he was turbo charged, more of the same please.

Sign on the dotted line please Mr Dods....................................................... :003:

I just hope that he hasn't been distracted by his role in the Citroen adverts

I heard he is playing lead character, Optimus Prime in the new transformers movie :010:

"They immediately stated that Dods was not going anywhere. Dods is negotiating a new contract and from what I hear he will stay if it is a four year one plus a coaching position at the end."

I wasn't convinced when we first signed him but he's been almost faultless especially ast season.

A contract extention would be very good news indeed.

IHE ....there is NO WAY they would offer a 31-year old a 4 year contract

Probably not but three years would be worth the risk.

2 years seems to be our standard offering possibly add a one year option

I was merely pointing out what Dods' agent was looking fer.

Never knew Dods was such a good dancer :010:

I can't believe that people still bite the minute IHE dangles the bait  :015:

Crouch learnt everything he knows from Dodsy  :016:

Can't beat a bit of robot :004:

I think he will do well if he eventually takes on a coaching role, IMHO he is by far the most professional of the ICT players when it comes to training.

And as I was trying to succinctly point out Machine is entering the latter stages of his career and the "promise" of a coaching position at the demise would be advantageous to all involved.

According to Sunday Express, Brew is coming for him next week!!

news of the world says same and he wont take no for a answer :019:

Text has Bennet recommending to the board that they up the players wages. Maybe that will be sufficient to stop him from leaving.

Anyway, all of our players are still under contract so United would have to fork out if they want any of our guys, and they don't seem too keen on doing that.
