I agree with you, pal. We hand out huge contracts to players like it's confetti. There's not many players at the club that would be able to step up in the PL. More importantly though, and I said this at the beginning of the season, if we don't go up this season, MB will walk then we have a new manager and tbh I find it hard to believe that whoever comes in will be able to improve these players further.
Dominance, how much are these 'huge contracts' worth, any idea, and how many have we handed out? No disrespect to anyone but I think there might be unreasonable comparisons being made to the contracts which Ridsdale handed out to the Leeds players of O'Leary's tenure. He went barmy with the idea whereas most people criticise Radrizzani for being tight with the funding yet have a go at him for giving new contracts out to players who are important to the future and, we hope, success of the club. Klich and Dallas are seasoned internationals and the best manager we've had for ages seems to like them.
I've no idea how much they're on, I wasn't on about their wages but the lengths of them, apologies, worded incorrectly yet again, not the first time is it buddy?! I understand that the very best players get lengthy contracts as it adds value and also protects the club but this is neither. We are a championship club, we aren't going to sell a player for £50m which is why I'm baffled by the length of the contract(s). Some could argue that we are 'rewarding' these players but reward them for what? I'm not saying that they don't deserve it because as I've mentioned many a time, as long as I see players give it their all I'll be happy but I've heard it many a times at ER before, it could be a small minority but I do hear it more often than not.
Hey, I'm a right one for not expressing myself well enough mate :D Contracts don't mean much really but they do indicate loyalty and rewards for players and they offer a better chance for clubs to not be 'conned' if selling the player. The rise of our team under Bielsa has been phenomenal for me and the club's decision to reward certain players who have been integral in that rise is totally fine by me as I do not for one second think the club would overreach their spending. Could well be wrong but for all the things to worry about at LU, this is very low down the list IMO 8-)

Well now. With no Championship football for the next couple of weeks I see the bar is set at a modest level for posts :D :D :D
