Samuelsen not rushing for a new contract

Jone Samuelsen is one of many on outgoing contracts. He has had a unformal chat with the club director, but no details are clear yet.

“We’ve just been talking about what we’re thinking on the oncoming negotiations. Now I know what they’re thinking, and vice versa”, he says.

He admits that the sporting and economical conditions must fall into place if he’s gonna stay in Skien, but says that’s not threatening to leave ODD.

“I’m feeling fine, and my time in ODD has been one big rally after two difficult years in Viking. But it’s important for me that our established players are staying. ODD shouldn’t have put themselves in a position where 6-7 in the first eleven are one outgoing contracts. And that didn’t come as a bomb either. Besides my salaries have to be good enough. But I am positive to sign on for more years”.
