A gentleman’s agreement? He’s under contract until 30th June. After that he can do as he pleases.Diebythesword said:I’m fairly convinced we have a gentleman’s agreement with dykes that he’s free to look elsewhere after the World Cup this summer. With Godden looking like he might finally be back, the money spent on Kelman and mbick and Kanu back it probably makes sense. Although would like another striker through the door if we get rid of tanto which is probable.2 -
Thats the cost of club ownership I'm afraid.SteveACS said:
Perhaps you could offer the owners the £20 million plus, you have stowed down the back of the sofa?golfaddick said:
Could probably get rid of a couple from that list.MarcusH26 said:
Think Kanu is an interesting one. Will be interesting to see how he looks in preseason and if he's someone we look to challenge with a League 1 loan (Bromley or AFCW) or if he stays around and tries to compete to start for us.SteveACS said:
If we sign Dykes, we'll have plenty of strikers in the building.elbiglad said:Such a great player to have in the squad, he just makes things happen and that's not luck: he is so proactive, does not stop moving and is a nightmare for defenders.
It's a tricky decision re contract extension. I would keep him around as he seems like a great locker room presence, I love having his experience for the younger players (TC called Godden his 'goat' on instagram yesterday!) and clearly he still has loads to offer on the pitch.
However, if he's on big money (let's say he's in the top 9 of the new 9+9+9 model), then I don't think he justifies that. I don't know what his wages are, but for me it comes down to how else we can spend that. I think most fans would love to see him here next year, but those in control of the purse strings will be looking at it without sentiment.
Don't forget, Kanu and M'Bick will be back, after very successful loan spells.
Seems a no-brainer to keep him around, rather than spend money on getting another striker, when there are more important positions to spend on...
Dykes ,Leaburn,Godden,Kelman, Mbick and TC is plenty of strikers.
If we are keeping Godden then Dykes is not needed. And Leaburn hasn't shown enough in this division to keep going forward.
TC isnt a striker so you can cross him off that list too.
Mbick & Kanu probably need another season out on loan. They certainly aren't Championship strikers as of yet.
If we are serious about not only staying in this League next season but also making strides up the table then we need much better strikers than what we've had this season.
Look how much Birmingham paid for Stansfield. In League One.0 -
I mean Colchester’s manager said Mbick is the best striker he’s worked with in 17 years, and he is built for Nathan Jones ball he could be a wildcard for next seasonSword65pf said:Having watched the quality of player in the championship, if we plan on using either Kanu, Mbick next season as high up the list options we are going nowhere fast. With respect to them both they have performed in league 2, a long way from the quality we need. Anyone that seriously feels they are options really can’t have been taking notice of this season.1 -
