    I think he’ll stay for the ten, immortality, on a bumper new contract.

    After that he’ll have his pick of europes elite imo.

    Whether he signs or not we ate at least trying to keep him for the ten, I just hope we give him a contract that can tempt him to stay, possibly 40k

    Ditto. We both know how this is ending. :54:

    But we'd be dumb as * not to even try. Offer him everything for a 1-year extension. It's unlikely to fly; but not trying would be moronic.

    Think some people may overestimate what 10IAR means to players, you only need to look at KT..

    He may however, feel another year here is best for his overall development, he’s only 22..

    Think it may depend who’s sniffing around him.

    I dont think 10IAR will really matter to him let's be honest.

    It will come down to finances and whether he can be arsed sticking around if a top 4 European league side comes knocking.

    I get that it's a job & most players arent emotionally attached to the club surely being part of one of the clubs greatest ever achievements, has to be appealing to any player.

    Unless everything is completely cynical & all magic is gone from the game.

    I think some people may be underestimating 10IAR if the consensus is it’ll mean nothing to him.

    These guys like VVD, Moussa and Eddy are acutely aware of the circumstances domestically. Even after leaving.

    I think he’ll leave personally because he’s ready but we should definitely be using the carrots we have to dangle in front of him.

    Just don't think 10IAR will be factor when deciding his future.

    If PSG come in for him it won’t.

    If Newcastle or Crystal Palace do it may in amongst a million other factors.

    Inexcusable if we don't go balls out with a big contract offer to keep him here another year.

    If we manage to get him to sign a new deal to keep him for next season it will be the best bit of business we've done in a long time.

    Having him and forster in the team makes our chances of getting through the champions league qualifiers so much better.

    They wouldn't open talks if both parties was not interested. Sounds promising

    Agree about the ten. Only thing i would take into consideration is his team mates and his unselfishness. Having quite a few French speaking team mates might influence his decision,, i am sure they would like the Ten and hopefully we give him a deal that allows him to go when the figure agreed is met.

    Eddy needs to have a very good lawyer read that agreement. Two recent big names left complaining about the club not honouring agreements. ( Think they were gentlemens agreements)

    Yep..

    One less position we have to worry about and a new contract would guarantee us top whack a year down the line..

    If mr celtic kieran tierney can leave 2 seasons before it then I think Edouard could.

    All I'm saying.

    This is an excellent point that hadn't occurred to me.

    Not having a go at KT, who had every right to make his choice and who absolutely is still a Celtic fan, but he's not Mr Celtic.

    Mr Celtic would be someone like Paul McStay, Tommy Burns or Neil Lennon.

    It was a bit tongue in cheek tbh.

    What I'm saying is he is a diehard celtic fan. Edouard isnt and I wouldnt begrudge him moving after 3 seasons even before 10IAR.
