Cresswell deal has no escape clauses

|

Cresswell goalAaron Cresswell has signed a “no escape clauses” contract with West Ham!

The news that the left back and Hammer of the Year had signed a new deal was greeted with delight last night and the even better news is that he is locked down for the term of the contract.

Cresswell had no hesitation in signing a contract which will keep him at the club until  2020 and the package he has agreed to sign is a triumph for the club’s negotiating team.

In the light of keen interest in him from Manchester City and Chelsea, the Irons have demonstrated they are becoming a serious force in Premier League football.

The club are thrilled that the Liverpool born star has pledged himself to the club which will send a message to other players they are keen to sign.

ClaretandHugh was told exclusively: “Like every club, if a massive, massive offer comes in it has to be looked at but in terms of escape clauses there are none.

“Aaron will therefore stay at this football club for as long as we choose. Both sides could not be happier with the situation.”

    The club is beginning to build a Good business reputation and no longer a joke,
    This will help with everything we do especially transfers,
    The Daves are tying all our best players to 5 year contracts and leaving no escape clauses

    I think they have learnt this delay from the comperes on these stupid reality shows when announcing the winner,lol,they obviously believe this pause before announcing something is the way to go.We have our own Im A Celebrity Big Brother With X Factor On West Ham Official Site compere 😉

  • Quickdraw on the peace pipe says:

    Blimey they could’ve strung that part of the announcement out a bit longer,they’re losing their edge dramatically lol

  • Stingray Stewart says:

    Really like him as a player,as you say,with The Terminator about he is going to seriously improve his defensive game i should think 😉

  • Bada Bing says:

    Really great deal for the club.I think with Dicksy onboard now he is going to turn into a real alround top player.

  • Simply The Best says:

    Good,now if any of the big boys come in for him they will have to pay mega bucks to prize him away 😉
