Better to get some money to reinvent and replace rather than losing him for nothing. Agreed. I think we will sell in the summer if he doesn't sign. Can't see us doing it this window though.

There is always the option to keep him for that final year and bank on the club convincing him to sign a new contract during that time. Not that far fetched if the club manages to improve and develop next season which I imagine the club is counting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that summer window is shut we’ve lost our final chance to get any fee for him before he is able to sign a bosman in 12 months. I don’t think the club would risk losing that amount of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Best case he signs extension. 12 months ago he was so important to our midfield , this would have been a nightmare to think we could lose him, but in that time period we have become a lot less dependent on him that of course would be a loss but not a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be quiet, he will be out for 3 weeks with fatigue if anyone at the club realises he is restless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Odd timing that both Evans and Preece ran stories about his contract situation out of nowhere this morning and then all of a sudden there are links to the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. It feels like the club are unofficially putting him on the market. This is the last window to get a decent fee for him, I suppose. Shame tho. Edited January 26, 2022 by WallisFrizz Unless it’s his agent. Either way, something is up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us doing it this window though. If there are interested parties now then it will be best to sell this window, as we can exploit teams who still have something to play for this season and get a larger premium. If bentencur comes in then we have a ready replacement so won't negatively affect us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would and I really don't want to see Doug going to a rival club. Would be horrible as he's on an upward trajectory I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about a ready replacement, who knows how long it could take for Bentancur to settle plus Marv is injured isn't he? I'd much rather give Doug a hefty new contract. I hope the players who have got us to this point don't get overtaken massively in wages by this new policy from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If Kamara and Rodrigo come in, I would think he'd be off, we'd have Mcginn, Ramsey, Chuk, Sanson, Kamara, Rodrigo and Marv when fit as midfield options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Quite a few signs pointing to him leaving, probably in the Summer. Shame, but I don’t think Gerrard fancies him as an 8 over Ramsey and McGinn, and rightly so in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 We can’t keep signing players without selling a few assets to balance things out. It would be great to keep Dougie but it may be for the greater good to let him go. I feel the same way about Ings and maybe even Traore too!

deeps Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Really don’t want to lose him. He’s 23 and has so much more potential to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
