Some people may say it's early days, but surely we have seen enough to offer him a 1-year extension? He's one of, if not, our best player.

We have seen many players with other clubs refuse contract offers later on in the season when other clubs start sniffing.
If we can sit him down now before other clubs see his quality, at least we have the option to keep him longer instead of the risk of his contract running out. If he did want to leave, then at least we could command a hefty fee instead of risking him leaving for free in future.

Is it possible to offer him a years extension this early?

I voted yes but ideally i think we should be offering him longer terms. An extra 2 or 3 years in my opinion.

His agent would also want to renegotiate his terms, but he des look a special player. Hope does not get nobbled by the league 2 stoppers. Will become a marked man if they can catch him of course.

Sorry for being a bit thick but can Dembele refuse to sign an extension if others come sniffing ?



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

That's my point. This is why it would be in the clubs best interest to extend his contract now before other clubs come sniffing. I also agree with the 2-3 years extension, but players in this league tend not to sign long term contracts so they don't get tied down too long. This is only the case when a player thinks/knows he will attract clubs from higher leagues.

The club has the option to activate another year on his contract, so I do believe if the club decides to take up that option Dembele has to go along with it because its the clubs choice.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

My understanding also. We have him for a minimum of 1 year, and a second year if we want him.

He's played 1 game and has in effect a 2 year deal if we wish it. Can't see why we would be too concerned at this stage of his career.

Maybe the player is happy with those terms as it could potentially provide him the opportunity to renegotiate his weekly wage amongst other things, who knows?

One game of 60 mins in and a good pre season, I think we still have plenty of time to make this benefit both parties.

Away from that he's a real prospect IMHO
