Cherries: New deal for keeper Jalal
7:00am Monday 8th March 2010 in
TOP performer Shwan Jalal became the latest star to commit his future to Cherries and then emphasised his strong belief in the club’s gallant promotion quest.
Just hours after penning a new two-and-a-half year contract, Jalal produced a trademark solid display to help the Dean Court outfit secure a 1-0 win over Morecambe.
Jalal, who described himself as “overjoyed” and “honoured” to have been handed the opportunity to extend his stay in Dorset, revealed the decision to remain loyal had been an easy one.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Peterborough goalkeeper believes he can realise his ambition of playing up the divisions with the club he joined, initially on loan, in July 2008.
He told the Echo: “I think a lot of the players in this team can play at a higher level.
“If we can keep the squad together and develop and mature together, without a question, if we keep applying ourselves, then we will play at a higher level.
“I’ve not had many seasons where, even at this stage, I’ve still been playing for something.
“I got to the FA Trophy final with Woking and we were in with a shout of the play-offs in my first season there.
“But the past two seasons have been fantastic – last season staying up and this time pushing for promotion.
“It’s just a fantastic place to be at the moment. I think we’ve come too far for promotion not to be attainable.”
The 26-year-old added: “I just want to carry on and push onwards and upwards. I think the best thing for me is to do it with Mossy, Jason and Eddie.”
Delighted boss Howe revealed that hard graft was the key to Jalal’s consistent performances.
He said: “He’s really focused and has worked ever so hard with Neil Moss, who has been brilliant for him.
“He has come in on days off to practice his game and he’s done extra strength sessions off his own back.
“It’s something that I really like about him – that he’s desperate to improve and to be successful. That’s why he’s had the success he’s had this year.”
Jalal is the fourth player to be rewarded with a new contract in recent weeks, with Marvin Bartley, Liam Feeney and Ryan Garry also signing new two-and-a-half year deals with the club.

For me he is player of the season this season.
Pitman 2nd because without his goals we wouldnt be anywhere. Then between Robinson, Feeney, Garry and Pearce for 3rd.
A couple of years ago we were on here thinking we didnt have any saleable assets.
Now, we have so many.

Best keeper in the League in my eyes and undoubtedly would get my vote as player of the season. Thanks to Shwan for committing to the team and well done to the club for securing his services.
He might kick down a door or two !!!

just a thought. surely with all these players geting contracts the board clearly dont think we will be going out of business at the end of the month. i hope i am right. is this not also a good business deal that EM has done if bigger clubs come sniffing around.

At least if we get desperate to sell players in the summer we'll get a bigger fee now.

After a while he realises he can't furnish the debt he and only he decided to take on with his eyes wide open so he asks customers to pay for next years sweets in advance. When he realises that won't cover the debt he then asks the customers to pay off his debts by way of donation, even though they've only just paid for next years sweets up-front.

If the bookies are offering odds on player of the year, lump on Shwan tomorrow. The best keeper since Kenny Allen and that includes Neil Moss Moss Moss

Judging from this forum there's still quite a few gullible people out there ready to beileve its only reasonable to buy an ailing football club and then get the fans to pay off its debts with their goodwill in advancing next years income and then going cap in hand to those same people begging for more money so 'their' club can be 'saved,' so EM can then own a profitable football club that he can flog on debt free for a profit.

In Mitchell there is one person who at the the moment, is trying his best for the club - and in the absence of any one else or plan B
When was the last time you were at Dean Court supporting the team?
As I have said previously there are many posting on this site who do not know what they are talking about and that includes you

etition.html Now maybe I am stupid but would the likes of Jalal, Pearce, Feney etc sign a new contract if EM was applying what is written in the website? Clearly there are people about that have received a raw deal from EM (most likely deservedly so!) so nothing will please those people and it seems to me that no matter what EM does they will continue to put him down. Oh well what more can we say
