Kid Icarus Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Even if you don't like him, you don't let players leave for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The longer the contract offer the lower the actual weekly wage would need to be. It would be a way to ensure we could sell him to a lower level club - probably next summer. It's how any well ran club operates with FFP. You don't want to let players leave for nowt. Chelsea constantly sign up players that aren't good enough so they can get a fee for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Would defo keep him around for another season or two, we need some depth in midfield if we are going to stick with 433 and every squad needs players that won’t kick up if they aren’t playing every week. Reckon he’s a good lad around the dressing room in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Nah this sentiment shite of a good lad needs to stop, he’s tripe, good luck if he gets a tune but he’s yet to do it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a full 25 man squad in Europe aye - need to have 4 players trained for 3 years before 22 or something like that … if you don’t have the home grown players you leave gaps in your squad most teams have a 3rd choice home grown / English keeper to get around this Krul would count as home grown for us so would have a good person to have in as a number 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 We simply must register home-grown players for Europe, or else leave empty spaces in the squad. Makes sense to give him a new deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I understand that he is under some special training with Howe. Rafa brought the best out of him and maybe Howe can do the same. I'll be surprised if we bring in any more than a couple of players in the summer and I will be quite happy with that. The current squad under Eddie have proved good enough for a at least a top ten finish. Throwing millions at is very dangerous as we've seen at other clubs. There are lots of things to be done, new training ground etc and the club has to make money for the owners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the clubs ambitions are FAR greater than “at least a top ten finish”, and that’ll need more than two new players this summer. Throwing millions away on dross IS dangerous, as you’ve mentioned- however, looking at our signing policy in January, I’m pretty confident that wouldn’t occur with us on the whole (every team will get a bad transfer or two at some point).

jackyboy Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The club's expectations are the sky's the limit but they won't try to do it overnight. As I've said, a lot of areas need improving and it's about solid foundations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Really good performance tonight. Suffice to say, it's incredible what a decent manager does to him.

Adam Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We all want to sign some world class midfielders, but if he can play like that he is good enough for the next two years at least. I've got faith Eddie can improve him even more, and it would be great to have a local lad in the team than finally wins something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
