Current Player Elliott Moores contract

[Yellowarmy]

UTO mentioned twice recently that Moore has a years option for next season. I know he very accurate normally, was this confirmed on rad ox commentary tonight? Good news if true

 

[GeneralLee]

I believe so. I can’t recall how I remember that! It’s gone massively under the radar.

Mentioned on iFollow commentary this evening during the second half that was the case.

Brilliant, I wasn't aware of this. That gives us a lot more time to negotiate a new contract.

He and McNally will have a good understanding by the end of the season. Get a couple fullbacks in the summer and we'll be very strong at the back.

Good to see Moore having a go at Brannagan, I like to see a captain acting like a leader and putting other - maybe higher profile players - in their place. Not that Brannagan was doing too much wrong but Moore took charge of the situation. A colossal performance from him in every respect.

All reports when he signed neglected to mention any option years:

Oxford United sign Leicester City centre back Elliott Moore

ELLIOTT Moore has become Oxford United's third signing in as many days.

Elliott Moore Signs For The U's

Oxford United are pleased to announce the signing of Elliott Moore for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.

Moore was also asked about contract talks after the Lincoln game: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/19835244.oxford-uniteds-elliott-moore-lincoln-contract-talks/

OM has described Moore as being "in the last 6 months of his contract": https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/19834744.karl-robinson-makes-oxford-united-contracts-plea/

Why hasn't this information been available before?

Great news if true, I was thinking if we didn't go up them him, Sykes and Brannagan will be out the door which is three key players. If Moore stays then that would be a result.

As far as incomings I thought this window was a little underwhelming, if I were the club if have been tempted to announce yesterday morning that this option had been taken up, it's not like we're not going to do it anyway.

 

[GRB]

Apparently it is true that we do have the option for a further year.

 

[Wallop]

Apparently it is true that we do have the option for a further year.

Bizarre that this wasn't better known to the point where there was the odd awkward interview with him on RadOx about his future with the club.

Any chance the extra year is a clause triggered by something (total appearances), that wouldn't have been met in the summer but is now active?

Hopefully we are already in new contract conversations.

[MJB]

I guess it both increases the chances of him playing here next season, but also that he’ll be sold for a few if he refuses and new contract going into his last year.

I have to say, it's really odd. It's never been mentioned at all.

Yup. Most unusual.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Get to The Championship and I reckon he’ll be ours for quite some time.

 

[Dilla]

Get to The Championship and I reckon he’ll be ours for quite some time.

Not sure that makes a difference. If a club comes in and offers at least double your salary it's a no brainer despite being in the same league.

If we get to the Championship I assume that his salary will increase significantly.
