Keyblade Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Bump for a lovely player. People rave about Stones and the like, but this guy is a real prospect. The scary thing is, he's still getting up to speed after horrendous luck with injuries. What's even scarier is that we still haven't offered him a new contract.

None of us know whether that is true. The scarier thought, for me, is that we HAVE offered him a new contract, but he hasn't signed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ah yeah, I should have said he still hasn't signed a new contract. I really hope it's a case of us not offering. Imagine going into a season with Clark, Lescott and Richards as our CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given Fox was adamant we wouldn't let player go into the last year of their contract anymore, I'm worried that one has been offered and he's not taking it.

Keyblade Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I would cry. But then again, we might get to see Baker and Clark recreate their impervious partnership from 12/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Massive fan of Okore and he'd be at the top of my list of players I'd keep for when we get relegated. There are only 3 other players on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say keep Bunn, Richards , Lescott, Okore, Cissokho, Amavi, Bacuna Gueye, Veretout, Gardner, Westwood, Grealish, Traore, Ayew I would get rid of Guzan, Hutton, Richardson, Clark, Baker, Sanchez, Sinclair, Agbonlahor, Nzogbia (happening anyway), Gestede, Kozak, There is no way we can only keep 4 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I think we are in a very tough position with Okore. We would need to offer him big wages to sign for 5 years but why sign when it'd be halved if we went down? So we have to wait until the summer. Where things get dodgy. If we were in the PL he'd be a £60k a week player but I still think we could offer him £40k in championship as if we didn't come up there'd be no end of admirers. Hopefully he will show a bit of loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 There is only one solution. Cheeky release clause in his contract. That way if he performs he can leave and if he doesn't he can stay. That is the beauty of letting players go into the final 12 months of their deal. You are **** either way.
