Late last evening, the official Cardiff City website brought confirmation that talisman and Player of the Season Roger Johnson has signed a new contract with the Ninian Park outfit.
Premiership outfit Middlesbrough were rumoured to have made summer enquiries and an under-value bid but that died away and Roger has committed to stay but, whether intentional or not, the vague announcement has left fans wondering for how long it is.
Get The Flags Out - Roger's Staying On
Newspaper speculation has been rife for a couple of weeks that RJ was to seal a new 3 year deal. This may be the case but the club's official website states only that he is staying "for the forseeable future", whatever that means.
While City fans are no mugs and know a 3 year contract doesn't mean he will stay for 3 years while any new contract will inevitably have get out clauses, it would be nice to know what the basis of the new deal is.
Maybe all will became clearer when newspapers report later today but at least a critical player is tied down ... for the forseeable future anyway!
