I don't think Tony will be held to a release value.
Who knows what the market price will be for Biss in a year's time.
A player's value can change due to many unknown factors.
If Biss is suddenly able to hit the target with every long range shot and finishes the season with 15 goals, his stock...
He doesn't have to be accurate to still do some damage.
The percentages are much more in his favour than trying to actually score.
Who knows, he might miss the target completely and smash it in the top bins.
The contract length is a bit of a red herring.
If TB doesn't receive an offer matching his value to us, then the worst case is he gets to keep a £150k pw player for 2 years, whilst paying him £25k pw.
Not ideal, but better than selling him on the cheap.
My guess is a new contract will be...
Precisely! That's why using Bissouma to take out their players is such a great tactic.
We definitely won't score, so get Biss to target their most useful player, with one in the gut from 10 yards.
Yeah beginning to feel the same way.
I think Tony is quite happy moving on one of our players each season, rather than potentially damaging the squad.
Moder/Mwepu/Caceido to get a year's, more experience and then we can see if anyone wants to shell out silly money for YB.
When it became clear that Bissouma was the designated direct free kick taker on Saturday, we had a good chuckle in the North Stand.
He actually kept it down for once and caught someone in the Watford wall at full pace in the gut.
We decided that the tactic had to be, to try and injure as many...
