i don't think you mean that a five year contract is a problem , just that for someone Samir's age it seems a long time.
If we get Barkley, i want him locked into a seven year contract.This guy is great. He even had Yaya struggling at Goodison , last time out.

Samir is only 26, so we arguably tie him up for his prime years. My gripe is that a long term contract means very little. A player can wiggle his way out of it quite easily if unhappy. And for the club it makes little sense as well. Yes, the resale value might be a bit higher the first couple of years, but you also risk ending up in a Mills-like situation. Players do turn to shit or get career ending injuries.

If Yaya was on a shorter contract, he would be in a very strong position now; able to put a gun to our heads next season. He isn't, so he has no power whatsoever.
With this deal, we will have the best years of Nasri & any arguments come when he's 30 years old.
Re Milner; people keep talking as if it's gospel that he wants to leave, but that's certainly not what Milner has said recently in public.
Just the other day he mentioned how 'you celebrate for a few days, then that's forgotton & all the concentration is on the World Cup, then as soon as that's over, you are back to trying to win the title again..' That doesn't sound like someone who is planning on going anywhere.
