stewarty 1,881 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It is a strange one. Has there not been rumours of one or two clubs from France sniffing around him? Could this be a way of protecting his sell-on value, which will erode as the next 18 months runs down? What I mean is, if we sign him on on a long term deal but with a minimum release clause that the club would be happy to accept should it be offered? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If extending his contract is just to protect his value then it's maybe worth it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,881 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If extending his contract is just to protect his value then it's maybe worth it? We have invested circa £3m in buying him + 3.5 years of not an insignificant wage on the guy. Seems perfectly sensible to me to look to preserve that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, but I'm slightly worried that the club give him a 3 or 4 year extension and don't sell him on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an approach not without its risks. Just ask Peter Lawell about Samararse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
