chinapig Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 He's such a modest young man I sometimes wonder if he knows just how good he is and can be. Nigel obviously rates him and can be trusted to develop both his technical and personal qualities no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 I do wonder how likely it is that he will renew… for a young lad with a lot of promise to stick around when we have arguably gone backwards since he signed,, a free transfer back to someone in ligue 1 must look tempting for him when hisncontract runs out. Obviously if we are looking a lot better he may stay on i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if we are looking a lot better he may stay on i guess I don’t think the current regime will let him run his contract down, do you? If when we get around to talking contract extensions he won’t sign, we’d sell asap. Don’t forget that we’d also only have to offer him a contract at his current level to be entitled to compensation. So little to no chance he leaves here for zilch. Nor do I think there wouldn’t be a whole host of suitors willing to pay a fee for him either if he wanted to leave / we wanted to sell. This is not another Adam Nagy. He actually enjoys the football style of the Championship too, one of the reasons he came here initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massengo will know about Leicester's success with French imports - either bought in by Pearson directly or after his regime. He's still only very young so not at that early/mid 20s rubicon where a player has to decide how to progress their career. I hope he's being advised sensibly - for the first time in a while (all bias aside) I genuinely think the best option for him as a young player is to stay here for the time being.

I will bow to your greater knowledge, but I understand under 24s can go to another country for free if they are out of contract, like what happened with agostino years ago. with the transfer market still on its knees and french clubs not usually paying out a lot of money (with one big exception), i do wonder how motivated he is to stay?

Ironically, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Leicester aren’t one of the clubs eyeing him up as he nears the end of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall the specifics with Ago, but as long as we offer him a contract of at least equal money to his current deal before he’s available for pre-contract (6 months out) the fact that he’s u23 means we are entitled to a fee (compo). Bosman (1995) was fairly new when Ago left in 97. For England to England moves, Bosman is 24 years of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Always amuses me how many foreign footballers are into outside interests that would be considered ' nerdy' here. Tbh...it's normal compared to here. So many interested in culture, art, language, family, food etc etc. It's normal. Our lot more into social media, love Island and it's sort, fast food, gangsta culture, tats, Instagram, getting pissed and cars. Shame...but very noticeable. So much of Europe still engages in its culture like it's still the 50s,60s,70s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely a potential City legend. Reminds me a little of when I met the Goat at a book signing in Bermuda. (We just happened to be there on holiday, honest!) I knew he had spotted my City shirt as I was queuing to meet him and when I introduced myself, he said "Well I'm Goat-err" in a very passable Bemmy accent.
