TAFKA Castroneves Posted 20 October 2021 Share Posted 20 October 2021 It’s a rubbish situation for us this because all those clubs who really want Youri as well - in theory - haven’t got the 80million + or so we’d like to get to buy him 🤦♂️ so we will probably have to settle for less or instalments which makes it sting that bit more. Best hope we got is the team pushes on this season (today’s game is critical to that ironically) and we somehow get the Champions League in the bag for next season. That being said though he’s crazy good so even that might not be enough, still hoping somewhere down the line he might change his mind but it’s going to be remarkably difficult to keep him now. I fear the Praet stuff hasn’t helped - and also Castagne might be considering his options as well by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Fox Posted 20 October 2021 Share Posted 20 October 2021 I would offer him £150k a week as that’s probably right on the limit we will ever offer anyone I reckon. He’s still going to be able to earn much more somewhere else but hope he enjoys it here enough to stay. If he doesn’t sign I’d personally just keep him until the end of his contract, don’t think anyone will pay 50m with one year left although someone like Man U could easily afford it and I wouldn’t want to let him go on the cheap.

jonny_wright Posted 20 October 2021 Share Posted 20 October 2021 Even Man Utd and PSG are in this situation with Pogba and Mbappe – players use contracts to get moves they want – Tielemans wants a big club and he is more likely to get it if he doesn't sign, as it will make his transfer fee much less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he can sign for someone for free from January 2023, moving in June 2023. We’d probably sell next summer if he hasn’t signed a new contract rather than lose him for nowt. If we can get CL next season (a massive ask) he might sign a 1 or 2 year extension at most. Ultimately he sees himself at one of the continents top clubs, and we just aren’t big enough for him to give the best years of his career to (25-30) when he could be playing for PSG, Madrid, or Barcelona.

Hopefully we can do something special this year - like say win the Europa League / get in the top 4 finally to give that Champions League football he really wants. I think that’s our only shot at getting him to sign a new deal with a pay increase that would put us in that position for big money when the inevitable comes someday. Its such a headache but in someways it’s a good one to have because we’ve set such a high bar already the past few years that it isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that we could get ourselves to the position where we’d be the most attractive option for him for the next two/three seasons at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 I think the only way to sign him would be to put in a lowish release clause with lots of conditions on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bptiger Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 The club has only its self to blame, for the last two seasons we could of ( should have ) finished in the top four but refused to spend the money to strengthen the team , especially in the midfield, and we ran YOURI into the ground . If the club had done this and we had been in the champions league, I think he would have signed by now . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 Shame we can't get him to extend for 1 year with a release clause of say £50 million + X add ons. It'd be peanuts as a profit and I think we're gonna be in another Kante situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyJim1987 Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 I'd go as far to say Youri is the only true world class player we have. Wilf, Ricardo, obviously JV but he's 35, the only player we have who can probably hold his own for literally any club in the world. I think he knows this and wants to play for an elite club so fair enough. If he signs a new contract he prices himself out of a move to Liverpool or possibly abroad. It's a shame but we will have to find another gem from somewhere. He's a different type of player but I'd like ward Prowse here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 When he goes I pray its abroad. I'm not sure I could cope if he went to Liverpool, Chelsea or Man Utd!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
