ccfcman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 For a minute I thought the 100m plus Rashford was a Monchi line. Pity it was Collymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ollie's contact is up in 2 years and talks of a new deal have gone quiet. I wonder if he is running down his contract to get a move elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But theres also the 2 years of an extra say 50k a week he will lose by not signing. Its his life. We cannot complain if he does when we have done the same with Tielemans and Kamara. Besides Cam Archer will be ready by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he is running down his contract to get a move elsewhere? He's just waiting for his Digne monster offer. Back-up left back getting paid double what the club's main striker is, isn't normal and his agent will be hammering that into his head. I think he'd be wise to sign a new 4/5 year deal if we offer him decent improved terms. I don't think he'll too fare well being in and out at other clubs. This fit is perfect IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if an agreement is made and we announce it at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with the logic but think it's more to do with just waiting to see who the club sign this summer Tielemans, torres and Diaby will all be earning more than the club offered Ollie when the first new contract stories emerged, made sense to wait, he'll have a new deal in september Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If he's looking for a move to one of the big boys and him and his agent think he's good enough, we will just take the favoured 100 mill plus add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2023 Can you imagine the massive boost a player would get when a manager like Emery gives you that full support? It will give Ollie's agent leverage, of course, but Ollie's confidence must be sky high. Making Watkins the main man -- at the expense of selling Ings -- was a masterstroke. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 We would struggle to replace what he gives us if he left. Even with the big pile of money. Quality strikers are hard to come by at the moment and when you’ve got one that fits your team and scores goals, it would be daft to let him go. Anyway, Watkins loves it here and I’m sure he wants to be part of our journey back to the top under the Professor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Scoring Double digits in his last 8 seasons.....That takes some doing, ( not many do that) and epitomises his consistency in scoring. I can see, area's where he can improve....but he is still a sought after striker. I have an awful lot of time for Ollie....glad he is our player.

I think you are right....I also think that a big name coming in, could be counter productive to the harmony.....Ollie wants to be loved, and be the main man JD and CA will be fine to push him....I think Ollie will be fine with that.

It was the speed of the assessment as well. Many here thought Ings or Watkins was a pickem but Emery very quickly realised who would give what he needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Cam Archer will be ready by then The difference with Tielmans and Kamara they were looking to further their ambitions, whereas we're a club on the up, so why wouldn't he want to stay? Hopefully it's sorted out soon, otherwise might as well look to sell him for 60 million and strike whilst the iron is still hot.

Sulberto21 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The fact that the statement “£100 + Rashford” is out there is very good. Even if it’s from Collymore it’ll tell people we aren’t effing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Would any consider selling? He's 28/29 (can't be bothered to check which) probably at his peak in terms of value and will only reduce. Only 2 years left on a contract, Should we be looking to cash in and reinvest in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
