Baldwards says close to agreeing new contract.

 

Hopefully on reduced pay, should not be starting next season.

[Fenham Mag]

Has to be a squad player next season, I think he'll be great in Europe if we get there but as a PL regular, nah. 

[nufc123]

Was a no brainer to renew couple og months ago, but hes been so poor lately. Hope we dont have to rely on him too much next season. Maybe he will look better with less game time.

[Sibierski]

Him signing a new contract means just one CB signing then? He's been so bad recently, hopefully the back up role suits him. Will also hope any new deal, is with view that it still keeps a transfer fee on the table.

[Joelinton7]

I’m not saying don’t give him a new contract but he’s been more Fabian Scare recently and I don’t know why. 

[Smal]

I think I’d probably rather wait and see whether we qualify for Europe next season before doing any of this.

[r0cafella]

Not too concerned about this, given Guehi was our seemingly only target last summer it's quite clear we know we need to replace fabi. 

[SUPERTOON]

Still good enough to be back up next season imo.

I’ve watched you sporadically this season so can’t really comment but I do wonder if this thread mirrors ours about Son. Like, he’s forced to play a ton of games and everyone says he’s finished, then he gets a rest, has a great game and everyone says “his minutes just need managing”. Then he has a bad game and “he’s finished” again.

 

Schar doesn’t have all the international travelling Son has to do but Botman’s ongoing problems mean he has to play far more minutes than you’d like. Only Gordon and Bruno played more games for you last year and at Schar’s age you just can’t keep doing that.

 

Seems to me he’d be a great backup CB next year. You just really need two younger CBs if Botman is going to miss so much time - everyone else is the wrong side of 30, no? Schär, Lascelles, Krafth, Burn. That’s not sustainable.

Got lots of love for Schar but lad has been bad recently. 

[WilliamPS]

Schar-Burn isn’t working very well at the moment, but it’s a combination that’s supposed to play 10 games a season, not 50. They are both going to the wall for the club this season as they are the only consistently fit CBs. 

 

Schar is a good player and it would be brainless to let him go in the summer, even with new signings

Christ I thought he was crocked too for second
