I don't think he would be free out of contract, would he? He's under 24, so as long as Man Utd offered him a new contract, if he rejected it and wanted to go elsewhere there would be compensation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as people accept that 17th is absolutely fine, we're right as rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was lower. You reckon compensation would be around 8 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Brighton are poised to sign Portsmouth defender Matt Clarke for £3.9million. At that price we should be all over it. Top CB with loads of potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith we can do it. Gota have the faith, Smith will pull it off, I think we could actually be surprised this coming season with the quality we could have along with Smith style.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got promoted as the best team with a very good squad. And they kept the majority of it. We didn't get promoted as the best team. Nor the second best team, nor the third. Nor the fourth. We got promoted by one goal through play offs. Secondly while Wolverhampton could keep much of their core, ours was largely on loan players. Thus we have to start quite fresh with new players (not only squad players, but first team players). We will probably end up with a completely new defence. And we will need a huge amount of players and new relations and dynamics has to be established. I could keep going. But anything other than avoiding relegation would be unrealistic. I expect relegation. By the number of people who have reacted unkindly to this I just hope people don't have their hopes too high and ultimately start getting on Dean Smiths back if we are near the relegation zone at any point. Obviously there are still a number of signings to be made and the calibre of player signed will ultimately point towards where we are likely to finish. But even then it takes time to gel, people pointing to Wolves as an example are so wrong as they pretty much kept the team together that came up with a few additional signings. Even if we get relegated I hope so much that Dean Smith is allowed the opportunity to bring us back up like Sean Dyche did at Burnley. The last thing we need is a new manager this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think 95% of fans would be happy with 17th to be honest, regardless of dreams of top 10 finishes. It is really important that everyone stays behind the team through the bad patches. We will inevitably take a few beatings, but I think we will also grab a few memorable surprise results along the way too. As long as the players are committed, we carry on doing business in the same vain as we have done so far, and we play positive football, Deano and the team will always have my backing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not sign a contract because of the salary they offer him or he may want to be a starter somewhere else rather than sit on the bench.

The great thing for Axel is with only 12 months on his current deal left he can essentially hold Utd to ransom. He could demand a high percentage of first team action at Utd or leave for guaranteed weekly PL game time elsewhere(us). No way will they allow his contract to run down in this instance imo. If they did it would be due to a probable fall out between club and player which I can't see happening. A contract renew and re-loan is also highly unlikely, as I would expect he could potentially demand a higher contract if he left Utd for a minimal fee of 8m or thereabouts. He has also reached the point as a player imo whereby weekly football is essential for his growth and ambitions as a player. Either Utd will have to pay up significantly as in his contract or ship out this summer. imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The thing that worries me about Tuanzebe is that he only managed 30 games for across 1.5 years for us because of injuries Decent enough defender but not dominant in the air so I'm 50/50 on this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
