Thoroughly looking forward to enjoying Scott until at least January No, that’s the point I was trying to make….badly. Knight has a decent all-round game, but he isn’t a flair player per se…nor do I think that’s what we will bring in either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziderarmy Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Just seen Alex is 7/1 to make the Euro 2024 squad… Can’t quite understand how Henderson is 1/2 after moving to Saudi.

How long does Lavia have on his contract? I expect Lavia, Liverpool will try and lever that price down from £50m too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Personal opinion, not from any source. If we don't get an attractive offer by the end of the window, he will get a good pay rise as a thank you for "not being a dick about it all" but the contract length will not change greatly and there will be a buyout clause of approximately 20% below our current asking price. I know some are saying that if we are doing well in January he might want to stay more, but the truth is that even with promotion, we are unlikely to start paying £40k/50k+ to players and that's the starting point for players of his calibre at that level. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that any revised contract would lead to an extended term, even if only for 12 months. There’s got to be a benefit to City with this too. I would also hope that any buy out clause would be at the current £25m level….. Having said all this, still expect him to have left by 1st September…..

BLRed Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Perfect world it would be for him to sign a new 3/4 year deal on 10-15k as he’s proven to be a top earner at the club, but with a non-promotion release clause of his current value of £25mill (he will be worth more than that in a years time, especially if he got us promoted) and inserted a 25-30% sell on clause. we get him for at least another season unless a club pays well over the odds for him now. He either gets us promoted or we still are covered financially in the likeliness we don’t and he gets his move to the prem. win win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
