Great news. Well done Joe just the type we need.

I think it would be a huge boost if we can secure Joe's services for next season, a real game changer  |

Is it cynical of me to believe he's only signing this new contract to make sure he maintains his pre relegation wage?!...

Bloody good lad and this shouldn't be underestimated. You might not rate him but look beyond that. He's 28 years old and on the edge of one last, big pay day and it looks like he is staying with us in the Championship.
Granted, there might be a release clause in there for January and beyond but even so, it gives the club one huge boost when it needs it.
He deserves a rousing reception first home game.

I guess the new contract will have some sort of release clause if we don't get promoted first-time. Something like £15m to any club rather than £25m to top 6.
It's great news if he stays.

I honestly think we can get better for half the money we'd get from selling him, although it sounds like nobody is interested...which does;t surprise me. Attitude and work rate aside, he's bang average.

Had a feeling he'd stay on. One of the few players who would have taken relegation to heart & see it as his mission to try to right the wrongs of last season.. Joe Allen to Stoke next season could be what Jonjo Shelvey was to Newcastle Utd who they managed to hold onto when they last dropped down..
Fair Play Joe if he stays with us, just need a few more to commit like this & take up the new challenge that awaits..

Whilst I don’t agree with them, I can see how some might think Joe is no better than average in the Premier League.
What I can’t understand is why anyone would think that, if used correctly, he wouldn’t be one of the best players in the Championship.
This is great news.

Big message to some of the other players who we’d like to keep but thinking of leaving as well.

Wonder why Liverpool were excluded from the top-six £25m buyout clause?

Better than a new transfer. You won't find many players willing to stick by their team following relegation (see Shaq, Ndiaye, Ramadan).
Joe's got the potential to be a fucking club legend at this rate

What I can’t understand is why anyone would think that, if used correctly, he wouldn’t be one of the best players in the Championship. This is great news. He's got non of the skills to be an outstanding player at this level. He'll work hard and his attitude will be good like most players in the division. |

It's not just about Joe but it will send out a message to potential signings that they are moving to team that are keeping hold of some of Thier stars and mean business to get back up. It's not just his skill that is important but his character and attitude along with Shawcross that will help us. Add a few more battlers with good character and we won't be going far wrong!
