et tu brute Posted May 25, 2025 Share Posted May 25, 2025 As did Burn, the whole three in central defence was a disaster today. Don't know why we were playing with a back 5 today, thought it was a big mistake today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 25, 2025 Share Posted May 25, 2025 Looked like he was on smack today. Back to his best after a proper pre-season, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted June 26, 2025 Share Posted June 26, 2025 Wanted to bump this as he's got 2 years left on his deal. I'm not aware of any options so we have a decision to make like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted June 26, 2025 Share Posted June 26, 2025 100% keep. No doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted June 26, 2025 Share Posted June 26, 2025 Keep I hope we had an inbuilt option for another year. I would however delay contract negotiations until January as there's enough going on and he has part of the season to prove fitness longer term.

Might actually represent some value for us doing that. (His lack of playing time might mean a lower salary or more incentivised one) Either way if we don't announce something soon I'm too be worried mind.

Doubt many would be interested in him anyway given his recent injury struggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2 years they will be though. It he repeats his first season with us and we haven't renewed him we will be getting that Trent treatment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted June 26, 2025 Share Posted June 26, 2025 Need convincing he can get through half a season without his knee's falling to bits first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted June 26, 2025 Share Posted June 26, 2025 He's still uncapped by Holland, on back of two injury hit seasons. His wage couldn't have been high to start off with (like has to be below £100k), so if we can get him tied down on similar wages that takes him up to his 30, that's a good deal. Think even if he turned into a bit of a stop start injury CB, he's depth in quality over rest of this decade for the wages he'd be on, would be very hard to match.

alexf Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 Was just wondering about Sven. If he comes back looking fit and strong and close to his old self this pre-season, what do you think Eddie will do opening game? On the one hand Sven is our long term LCB and has proven himself in the past and will also be desperate to be back playing after waiting so long with his injury issues and would possibly get the hump if he finds himself benched for the start of the season. On the other Burn was absolutely outstanding for us last year and quite fairly voted played of the year for his consistency. What would it say to him and others if his reward for that was to get dropped for Botman. Tough one for Eddie that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 Burn LCB and Botman RCB. Schar and Scalvini on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 I think you draw a line under last season and go with what's perceived as your best XI. So that means Gordon for Barnes, Elanga for Murphy, Botman for Burn, and you go from there. The top 4 are all strengthening with their transfers, so if we can score a couple of quick upgrades from within, we should go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 Will be huge for us if he can stay fit all season. It’s probably been forgotten how important he is to us, he’s just on another level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if, because of the opposition, he went to 3 centre halves like Arsenal away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
