Watkins is on a two year deal.

THE lure of making another push for Europe was a major attraction in Marley Watkins turning down more lucrative offers in England to sign for Caley Thistle.

The winger is one of eight new players to have joined Inverness since last season having put pen to paper on a two-year contract.

 

 

Butcher's keen to take him to Hibs apparently.

Hibs can't afford Marley Watkins.....or any of our other players for that matter.

[Sneckboy]

Good find Renegade. Yeah, Watkins signed for 2 years. I think that means he's here until the end of 2014/15 season. The above list is still accurate until anything else is discovered!

[Renegade]

One extra point that could be added is that Ben Greenhalgh (and possibly one or two others) are on one year deals, with the option of a second (I believe).

[Sneckboy]

I must admit, I don't really know what a 'one year option' means! I've seen the 'term' used but I'm baffled. As you pointed out, Ben Greenhalgh and a few others have this 'clause' but to me it seems strange.

 

Surely, 'clause' or not, if the player on a one-year-deal didn't look like having a future at the club, they'd be moved on? And, similarly, a player on a one-year-deal who didn't have the 'clause', but who'd showed up well, would likely be offered an extended deal. The 'clause' seems superfluous!

 

But, I'm maybe missing an obvious point! Anyway, the only Claus I understand at the moment is the Santa one. But last week I was informed he didn't exist so I really don't know what to make of it all.

[+bughtmaster]

It would be nice if we could afford to extend a few more contracts, our reserve force and obvious regulars are increasing in value all the time. Should we take seven or more points out of the next nine I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

My understanding is that it's up to the club whether or not they take up the option. For example if Greenhalgh shows up well he's contracted to summer 2015. If he doesn't he will leave in summer 2014.

[Renegade]

Sometimes it can be to do with games played as well.  For example, player X has signed a new one year deal, with the choice of a second being activated should player X play X amount of games that season.  It was a clause like that, that kept Ross Tokely here one year longer than Butcher wanted (who wanted to punt him along with Munro and Duncan, but couldn't due to this type of clause).

[Scarlet Pimple]

And that article says that T. Butcher has signed for Hibernian for 3 YEARS..

 

I thought it was only a  two and a half year contract.? 

 

Any update on the former statement made at the time he moved?

Looks like toby will be away since he cant get any starts and to be honest he doesnt deserve any because billy mckay is better than him in everyway so he sould be content with being a sub unless he can step up!

 

We do need another striker though!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

To be fair to Toby, I thought he added some bite against Ross County. Lack of games will make it hard for any player to establish themselves in any team. Probably a big challenge for ICT weighing up how realistic it is that they might receive a big bid for Billy and  finding themselves without Toby and Billy if the offer is a good one.

[Council Juice]

We really need to get Draper on a new deal. Even just a year extension. The rest can wait till the summer i think.

Otherwise we be better be prepared for pre contracts.

[ICTRoughi]

Supposedly Carl Tremarco has signed a new contract.

[gingerjaggy]

just seen that on twitter aswell

[MuirtownJaggy]

Great news, I think he is a solid no nonsense player who is getting better every game. I how others follow.

[RiG]

Danny WIlliams has signed for another two years as well. Good news.

[Rival]

Williams and Tremarco, have a funny feeling theres another 1 or 2 too.

[ICTRoughi]

If we can get James Vincent and Ben Greenhalgh on another year too then we've done good business.

[Rival]

Agree, would hope Draper and Watkins see more sense than Hibs and sign too

[Renegade]

Doesn't say anywhere from what I've seen, about how long Tremarco's deal is.  Considering his house-hunting comments though, suggests that it's a fairly longer one.  Wouldn't at all be surprised if it's two years.

 

Watkins is already signed until the end of next season I believe, so I shouldn't think that there'd be much news on him for a while.

The fact that Danny Williams' contract is two years, I would assume Carl Tremarco is the same.

I find it really refreshing that we are offering longer deals to players than just a standard year like before.

I've stolen it back from Sneckboy!
