Think we’ll be stuck with Dele unfortunately. Another loan with us paying most of his wages seems likely.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s got a deal on the table from Fulham, probably seeing if the mugs ar Everton will fall for him running around a bit.
I think we will extend, though i wouldn’t. But with Davies hopefully going and the 3
On loan, loaned again or sold. It would mean looking for another 2 midfielders at least next summer.
A clever football club would let him go and his 100k a week have a free transfer lined up as a squad filler/potential on 50k and use the other 50k 2.5mil towards a young exciting midfielder. 25mil could mean a 5mil down payment and doucoure would fund half that
I’d prefer to give him a contract extension and use whatever money we have to try and sign at least 2 forwards.
We have loads of issues in the squad, but the main one is lack of striker options.

I doubt any side will be paying him 100k a week, so doesn’t really matter what he wants.
I think he's going to be an important player between now and the end of the season because he's the only player in the squad capable of doing that role. After that it should be thanks for your efforts and see you later, because as long as players like him are playing regularly we will never get any better.
How would that work. Had we done it last summer it would have saved us roughly 3.5 mil
No expert like , just a rough guess. 20mil 3 years 7mil a year. Last yr’s 7mil becomes 3.5 over 2 years. How does that happen this summer? When his final year at 7mil would have be accounted for I’d guess?
That's the most obvious problem, I wouldn't necessarily say it was the biggest though.
Better than paying spurs 20mil
Exactly mate, if we gave him an extension last year we would have halved the 7 million to 3.5 (loose figures) - instead we are on the hook for 7 mill this year unless we activate the extension in this financial year - which we may. if we don't activate it by the 30th of June, we will have paid the 7 mill. I suspect if we do activate his extension we will do it before the 30th of June so his amortisation will half to 3.5 mill, so we save 3.5 mill in costs.
I see conflicting reports on his wage mate some saying as high 120k and others 85k. Its a bit Jamo Rodriguiz.
With an option of an extension - dont we just extend his current terms!
The lack of ability throughout the entire team. The lack of a striker is what tips us from being a poor team into being a really poor one. If Calvert Lewin had been fit all year we'd still be bottom half, we aren't a good side that just lacks a striker, we are lacking all over the pitch, and one of the things that causes us a problem is having a player like Doucoure in the middle of the pitch who has next to no ability with the ball at his feet and can barely be trusted to make a 10 yard pass under no pressure. If we had more quality throughout the team then someone like Maupay wouldn't be a bad option up front (as evidenced by his time at Brighton) but because we can't string 3 passes together and have no way of breaking teams down other than getting wide and knocking balls into the box he can't contribute. Signing a couple of decent new strikers would make us slightly better, but it wouldn't be anything close to a solution to our problems and so it's not where I want our entire budget to go.
Nice one mate

Lets hope we give him that extension as he deserves it.
Good solid squad player - just hope he signs on the dotted line as based on recent performances he'll not be shy of suitors.
