Has it defiantly been signed though or have we just said we will? Big difference. Only have to wait a week and imagine he signs next Monday.

I think of this in the same way as the iwobi contract extension. Where else are they going to go? Assuming it's Palace or Fulham type options, pay those wages. Not the Brewsters Millions contracts Moshiri has been handing out.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
What's with the whining? There's gonna be abar 9 players leaving next season and we'll gonna have to sell to buy.
May as well keep a functional one

Makes sense. Improvement at the position would require either a long-term commitment or a loan fee that drives up the total cost. It's a large wage to extend, to be sure, but he's been reasonably durable and has chipped in some goals and assists every season.
Seems like the wrong place to pinch pennies when we can get some level of production and we know what we're getting. Other positions are higher priority upgrades.

Can't agree more...if we end up relegated how are we paying his wages?
That's the "duke" with his sliders on
I get the one year deal makes sense.
It's say 100k a week for a year. That 5.2m for a decently effective known quantity.
Signing a replacement and then paying wages would be at least 4 times that. Probably 6+ times.
So we keep him and look to fix the major needs first.
Strikers, fullbacks, players with pace.

Wonder what sort of wage they offered him for his years extension? He on 120 a week now, surely they not offered the same

Glad he's signed an extended deal. Now sell him for a few million.
If you’re his agent the extension year maybe more, because this is on Everton wanting him. As an agent you’d be like 100k a week for 3yrs and if you want him for the 4th it’s 150.
Would tell him where to go then
Brother, he is 30, there's no way anyone offers him a potential 4 year contract.
Except us, as we're braindead and can't negotiate, obviously.
This is an extension that was agreed when he signed - the club stipulated that they would like the option to either extend the deal by a year or allow his contract to expire at the end of this season. There isn't likely to have been any negotiation or change in wages, the club will have gone through the proper channels (ie his agent) to inform the player that they were exercising their right to extend the contact on it's pre-agreed terms.
