Him not signing a new contract doesn't really change anything. Nothing has suggested he's desperately trying to force a move this summer, he's under contract until 2027 so it's not like we need to sell him on the cheap next summer.

Him staying suits all parties at the moment as far as I can see, and then inevitably he'll go next summer.

.....unless we find another of our famous financial black holes on 29th August.

That's why it feels a nonsense story. We don't need to extend for the years and unlikely he's still here in 2027 either way. It would just be a reward for staying another season.

If you value the player at the highest transfer fees, then no wonder the agent/player wants a giant wage increase to reflect that.

 

[Hellerad]

Giving him 160k makes him impossible to move on later if he gets hurt or his form regresses.

I’m all for giving the lad a raise. He deserves it, but we can’t risk getting stuck with that wage the same way he would prefer a move today rather than risk next Summer.

He's not asked us for £160k

 

[Victus]

His new contract was seemingly only posted by the dailymail, same as this one. Until somebody who isn't dog tier says this I wouldnt worry.

 

[Hellerad]

Probably true. I’m pointing out a fact of life for the folks debating the number.

 

[matty1878]

so there is a blag rumour he wants out?

 

[Blue Smoke]

Stupid of the club to open contract deal right now. Done nothing more than fuel the fire.
Should have waited until transfer window was shut and then approached the subject.

There’s a story by the Heil saying he wants 160k or he won’t sign an extension

 

[dockroad]

so there is a blag rumour he wants out?

Both the Mail and the Mirror saying he want's £160k or he's going. Apparently he's had his head turned.

 

[larrygobfiend]

A young player with 3 years left on his contract isn’t gonna suddenly start asking for £160k a week. It’s just out and out, made up nonsense. Don’t fall for it.

 

[Bedfordblue]

There’s no way we should be giving him £180k per week.

Clickbait.

Where is he going? Last time I checked no one's ponied up £70+mill for him.

So he could ask for unicorn with Dixie Dean tattooed on its rear end...he's not going anywhere apart from the bench if he throws his toys out the pram.
