I disagree people within the club have obviously seen how talented he is. So the football department have thought let’s give him an extension now because if he comes out and kills it next year not only will his value go through the roof he will be off contract and free to negotiate with any 1 he wishes. His value would be very low at the momentYet another absolutely atrocious re-signing. There is no need to re-sign him now. None. He's missed what 3 of the past 4 seasons. He has this season to demonstrate he can overcome his injury issues and earn a new contract. If he does another ACL (fingers crossed he doesn't) then re-signing him on a top 30 deal would be yet another wasted spot. We could have looked at a train and trial etc as appropriate.
We simply need to be more professional with our retentions. We're a laughing stock because we keep making bad decisions. This is yet another 50/50 gamble we're taking with a top 30 spot.
