Hopefully he'll come to us in 2012.

Then you'd better get your chequebook out!

exactly what jimmy taylor did a few seasons ago! i applaud such loyalty from a player no matter who they play for.

Why does he want a big signing on fee after his contract expires?

24 and under ?

Probably the reason it is only a 2 year deal.

New contract only starts when his current one expires, so will be valid for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, so if you want him for 2012 then you'll have to pay a transfer fee.

HTH.

End of 2012 then
