I doubt he'll be in contract showdown talks, he's got one. It last for quite some time yet as well. I wonder which part of *You're not going* he hasn't managed to grasp yet. If the story is true of course. |

Same article by The Mirror . I expect Blues are giving it one last go to try and offer him a new contract. He's already on a new contract, so you'd think it'd make sense to him if he signed one where he earned more money? |

You can't get a refund on your ST after the 1st match. |

**thumbup that's it Tim. Sully is not too happy with just 9k ST holders, the last thing he wants is 7k of those rushing for a refund when he sells McFadden and Larsson. From Aug 9th he's got 3 weeks to sell. |

But surely the club had to re-negioate ALL contracts on the existing players from last season but I would imagine most had a relegation clause already set in Perhaps Seb did not.....who really knows ?? He is one of the longest serving players at BCFC though But as David Gold has repeatedly said QUOTE ""If you go from the Premiership to the Championship you have to cut your cloth accordingly" and QUOTE ""Re-negotiate contracts for ALL of the club's staff "" Maybe Seb isn't happy with the pay cut ------------------------- |

Cannot find NOTHING on Sky except for this ------------------------------ Birmingham City have reiterated their intent to keep Sweden international midfielder Sebastian Larsson at St Andrews. The former Arsenal man has been linked with a St Andrews' exit following Blues' relegation to the Championship. Chairman David Gold claimed Larsson will only leave 'over my dead body' and now manager Alex McLeish has stated he does not want to lose his best players. LARSSON STAYING "We'll keep our best players and Seb certainly comes into that category," said McLeish. |

Seb's contract was sorted over 2 months ago. He has declined to sign a new extended 5 year contract with a good rise. Seb has also been guaranteed that he will receive Prem wages for this season if we get promoted, i.e. backdated for one season. Seb has also been guaranteed that he can leave next summer if we don't get promotion this season. Seems a very fair offer by Blues to a player that was playing reserve team football until we signed him, and even then wasn't first choice under SB, often being on the subs bench. It was the faith that Big Mac had in Seb that led to his vast improvement after SB left and made him the automatic first choice, and player of the season. It is Seb's agent that has been nipping away at this all through the close season :banghead: All Blues are asking for is one season of loyalty in the Championship. :Blues: |

when you say sorted bluebel, do you mean he is still on the contract he was on last season as he refused to sign an extension? |

Refused is probably a strong word. Yes he is still on the same contract as he has 'not yet decided' to sign the new offer of an improved and extended contract of 5 years. The other aspects of backdated Premier money if we get promoted, and being allowed to leave next summer if we don't get promoted apply if he stays and whether or not he signs the new contract. I think Blues have been very fair and should expect his loyalty for one year in the Championship. :Blues: |

as much as I like seb and rate him! I stand by my beliefs on these type of issues... if a player doesn't want to be here then get rid! of course we had all this with mcfadden a few weeks ago! and there appeared to be no truth in it! I wont have a go at seb until this story is proven to be true? |

Sky is a 24hrs News programme. This means they have to dream up something to keep the programme rolling. This in turn means they aren't too bothered how accurate their stories are. This story is taken directly from the few lines written in the Mirror and we all know they have never allowed the truth to stand in the way of filling up a bit of space in their rag!! |

well he hasn't signed it and it's been on the table pretty much since the start of last season so I’d call that a refusal. **thumbup I heard they were willing to keep him on Prem wages, but didn’t realise it was dependant on us getting promoted, i.e. if we don’t go up he gets nothing!! And then gets a transfer… well I think that stinks. IMO they should be paying him increased wages (i.e. at Prem Levels) whilst we are in the Championship and not putting caveats in about non promotion and all that… because without knowing all the ins/outs this seems to be why he is ‘refusing’ to sign. If this results in him putting in a transfer request, the club only have themselves to blame if we have to sell him for a cut price £2m next summer. After saying all that, I agree that a bit of loyalty to the club that has ‘made’ him would be nice, but then why would we expect anything like that from a footballer? |

The Larsson current situation is no different to McFadden's a few weeks ago. The press/SSN are responding to their Agents. As much as McFadden and Larsson would not mind staying, it is not in the interests of their respective agents. |

Maybe if footballers are so easily persuaded to request transfers at the insistence of their agents we should sign agreements with the agents and they can deem to pay their clients what they feel are the appropriate funds. |

If they want Seb t sign up the least they should do is pay him a salary based on his worth. If he's a Prem player he should be paid Prem money. |

i bet that larsson's agent would dissappear down a hole if a transfer request was submitted. if a player is desperate to leave he can hand in a xfer request but crucially the player and agent would receive vastly reduced monies from the selling club. this of course effects the agents fees. they are all greedy b't@rds |

One from McFadden and Larsson will leave before the end of August - the only way we will get the center half we need |
