Actually, you're wrong here. Both Matri and Quag have relatively low wages. Quag earns 2m eur and Matri 1.6m eur a year. That's perfect for bench players. They are good and useful players and they don't have high wages.
Compare this to the +4m eur Amauri and 3m eur a year Iaquinta was getting.
Marotta did a seriously good job with the salary budget. The wages reflect the quality of the players. We have a better team than we had in the previous years and yet we pay less for wages.

For some odd reason, the majority of people here don't seem able to grasp this concept.
I really can't figure out what's so difficult about this. Whether or not you like or rate him, whether or not you want him to stay, it's all completely irrelevant in the discussion to renew (or not) his contract.

I haven't read anything about the new terms so I am not sure, I must have missed it. Between my trolling and trying to be legit I easily fail to read between the lines.
I walk a thin line around here.
Anyways, its probably just easier to ask: How much time left on his current contract and how long will the "extension" be? And how much?

Absolutely. We talked about this already some days ago and unless one of the two options you presented is in play, it's really hard to understand why do we offer a contract until 2015 to someone who's already contracted until 2014. Especially since Quag is 29 and will be 31 when his original contract will expire.
And this is why we have Alen. To make sense of the impossible.
So part 1 has been answered, now for part 2. He is currently on 2m a season, correct? Are we only extending his contract or his his salary changing as well?
but it isn't wrong extending their contracts either given their value to the team which is quite a bit more than Amauri & IQ combined, not to mention lower wages and no problem sitting on the bench until called upon.
Quag was very poor tonight, but then again we didnt play to his strenghts, he was beibg asked to receive the ball with bis back towards goal and to hold it up, but he cant really do that, neither can Matri. If we want ro play like that, we need someone like Dzeko.
