You're not saying anything no one else doesn't already know.
Common sense says it shouldn't happen, But a lack of halves in the comp as it is,
plenty on the real wrong side of 30 (Even 35) and a new team coming into the comp all before the time LG's current contract expires tells me, He'll probably get top end offers in the vicinity of the money you're talking about
- And he might not deserve them (Ever) But you'd be extremely naïve to think they're not about 8 months away.
People saying Luai is our main man, I'm telling you - I see Galvins face and name in the Media just as much (I'm being cautious - I'd bet it's more) as Luai, And he hasn't one any comps or origins.
I've said it before - His enthusiasm for the game is infectious... He'll get paid on that alone.
All my mates who love a good game - love watching him play (None of them Tigers fans)
You might not think he's worth it, But I'd put a solid wager that you're not projecting the next 10 years of a Professional Football Franchise - those that are will be lined up to take the 'risk' same as they always have.
Ok...so if I'm not saying anything no one else doesn't already know, why continue refuting it?
You have mixed up my original message anyway. It's very simple.
As it stands...TODAY...he is not worth a million because he has only played a handful of games. Has he played well? Yes? Has he played well enough for long enough to command a million a season? I don't think so.
If he puts a good season together in 2025, we still have him under contract for 2026, so he's unlikely to get a million from us during that time. 2027 will be his year.
in 2027, he would have played 3 seasons and if he's been consistent, then he will have earned the contract, albeit with a premium due to what you've pointed out being a lack of halves. Could a club come in and overpay...of course! It happens all the time. People on here talking about 20 million dollar, 10 year deals are kidding themselves - if you would wager on that, then I'd take that bet. One million a season is more likely, if, and only if, he has shown consistency during the time with us. I'd be happy to pay him a million a season also if he is a factor in success for the club. The only caveat being is to show that you can do it over more than 18 games - i don't think that's controversial.
What you have not factored in, is that every year, a new shit hot rookie comes onto the scene and steals the limelight. This may also happen and it's likely across a 2 year time span. You or I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not the one making future predictions. I am talking about right now. If you want to read into it more than that, then that's on you. I really don't know what you're arguing about.
Anyway - I can't keep repeating myself. It's the last comment I make on the matter with you.
