After I've been rushing everywhere for the last few weeks I can finally sit down and relax in the run up to Christmas.

Anyway, yesterday it was announced that Jose Holebas has extended his contract with the club until 2016. This is good news all round. Holebas has been one of the few players to excel this season and has dragged the team forward whenever possible. Sure, he has had some bad games too but his good performances have far outweighed the bad.
With him remaining at the club for the foreseeable future we now have one position at the club tied down and can now concentrate elsewhere.

Djebbour is also expected to be renewing his contract imminently and again this is good news as both him and Abdoun have been the main focus of all our attacks this year. He is also leading the scoring charts at the minute and seems to be a very good bet to end the season as the top Superleague striker.

Unfortunately talks with Torosidis are still ongoing. Torosidis hasn't been outstanding this season so far - he's been ok and putting in some adequate performances but nothing amazing. There are a number of rumours flying around regarding transfers to Italy and I guess we will have to wait until January to see what transpires.
