    Notts loan confirmed. Article also states he’s out of contract in 2028, not at the end of the season like everyone had previously thought.

    So was this extension last summer announced by the club for a further year? 
    No announcement of last summers deal anywhere

    Haven’t seen / found an article announcing the extension he supposedly signed last summer. But it’s a very pleasant surprise that he has.

    Another good season in League One and he could come into the picture for us next year in the Championship.

    I’m sure Cawley was talking about this being the last chance to get a fee this summer too. Clearly kept everyone in the dark

    Probably be too big a jump, but can probably loan him to a minor Championship club such as Millwall or the newly relegated Surrey lot

    Now I don’t have to change my CL profile pic either : -)

    Though I am still heartbroken over Karoy…

    It is really good news he is still contracted to us.
    C'mon you Magpies.

    A very secret clause that triggered an extra year that Jim Rodwell made up yesterday

    Literally the perfect scenario... happy days. If he scores hatfulls in league 1 we will get more than 1m for him next year

    If Kanu doesn't sign a contract then we won't lose him on a free. We will still be due to get a fee under the development rules. So whilst a new contract may be a struggle, give him half a season on loan or as a 4th/5th choice striker and then reevaluate in Jan. 
    we’d likely get something like 150k from the development fee if you sell him now you’re guaranteed half a million at minimum and a sell on. 

    We would be silly to not have his contract or future sorted past this summer 
    You were saying?  :lol: 

    (Though no-one seems to have known, so hopefully someone has told Kanu.)

    Good move for him and us.

    I still think he could have a future with us.

    Will watch his progress at County with interest.

    Odd that the contract situation wasn't known. Not sure why the club would let that happen.

    I know people don’t want to hear it, but I think he will playing at his maximum level, don’t see him being consistently good enough for the championship, hope he does make it higher up the leagues as he gives his all, but not certain that’s enough. Good luck DK.

    Club are really trying their best to not give us anything to complain about this summer fantastic he’s signed a new deal could have saved us millions in the long run 
  • Great news that he still has 2 yrs left.  Perfect loan as if he is a successful his value increases and either he comes back to us to play or we get more £.

    I like Notrs County too so hope he fires plenty for them

    On the bench against Zimbabwe. And no, a certain ex Addick isn’t playing for the opposition

    I think if Tel would have to commentate that game he'd have a coronary. 1 Kakay on the pitch, 1 Kaikai on the bench, Fornah and Fofanah on the pitch at the same time, 1 Kanu on the pitch and one on the bench, 1 Koroma on the pitch and two on the bench, Kamara on the pitch, Bah Kamara and Kamson-Kamara on the bench, plus a Cesay and two Sesays on the bench. It'd be mayhem.

    I think Bradley Pritchard has been retired for a while now!
