    What a striker. Can see why he was rated higher than mbappe when young. Guys going to the top, further than Moussa imo.

    I hope he stays for the 10! If can agree to let him go then having signed a contract extention, I'll be delighted!

    What a signing and by far the best by our previous manager!

    Should be doing everything in our power to get one more season. Smash the wage bracket and give him a high but reasonable record breaking release clause in effect for June 2021.

    Just watched the Hamilton game again . Big eddy walks over to the crowd to give his shirt away . There is a wee laddie on his dad's shoulders , he's about 3 years old , his wee face is all excited , gimme gimme gimme . He's really expecting to get the shirt . Big eddy gives it to a 20 something man .
    The wee fellas facial expression is heart breaking . Come on eddy do the right thing the next time .

    P.s. love eddy

    I would love that to be the case, But one of Europe's Elite will be knocking at the door soon. This boy will be France's top striker one of these days....

    Contract runs until 2022 so he wont be going on a free, Just cannot see him staying past the summer. He may want to stay another year but we will see large bids coming in for him that our board will be all about!

    Want to be proved wrong though, see him stay for the 10

    As magic as it would be to get another season out of him I just can't see it, his quality is standing out as much if not more than Dembele now, he'll have his pick of teams in the summer.

    I think if we sell him in the summer he is a 30 mill player. But I think with even a year contract extension he would be 50mill in summer of 2021. Be honest with the lad, give him a contract extension now and tell him we will let him go with our best wishes in 2021 if he's up for it. He seems very happy here now at moment, offer him a decent raise in wages

    Free kick was sublime

    I'm not getting the grief the keeper is getting, he can't win. Puts his wall there for a reason, so stands the other side. If he has stood further to the left behind his wall and Griff smashed a left peg finish to his right, he would get blamed for leaving that space too.

    Aye, we should be going to £50k a week if need be. Strengthens our hand in negotiations and would surely make sense to him collecting double his salary over the next 5 or 6 months at least.

    He's worth every single penny.

    Aye. Offer him it now and he's more likely to take it knowing he's on 20-25 grand more for the next few month's guaranteed and can't move anyway..

    * the wage cap. We've an excellent talent who we can make exceptions for. In the long run we maximise our profit anyway so it benefits all..

    Surely we're having these discussions behind the scenes? We be mad if we're no..

    Forget the higher wage , include a percentage of sale after 2021 ,that way it is bonus to him to play his best all through season win win .

    Another thing that people don’t associate with eddy but is another massive plus as a striker when you see the huns without Morelos, as great a player as he is and as lethal as he is, hes a very laid back guy fair player with a calm temperament and unlike Morelos and even to an extent guys like Griffiths, you know hes not going to get involved in anything stupid or Dirty and get sent off or suspended

    Is our wage structure still around 30,000 for the highest paid player? (Brown I assume) if so, is there any way in which we can raise it to 50k? I don’t know it that would affect season ticket prices etc but maybe an avenue worth exploring

    Aye I think it's still around about the 30 mark..

    Broony is probably our highest earner with Sinclair gone..

    With Sinclair gone. The snake replaced by Lenny and a lot of the backroom staff. Quite a few other's out as well...we've deffo trimmed the wage bill..

    If we wanted to do it....we could. Whether we will or no is another matter..

    Don't think there is much chance of him staying past this season turned into a top top top player.
