I'd love to see him sign a contract extension but I can't see it happening in this day and age unless we make a tremendous offer, certainly at this point in the season.

Summerfield's pass is perfect...but it's Dembele's vision that sees the opportunity and you see him throw his arms out to guide Summerfield. The pass is still perfect.

The pass was good, the run was good, but the inaction and lack of communication between their left back and Gunning was the major factor.  A quick call from the left back and the pass could have been intercepted by Gunning.

Not sure the pass could have been intercepted.  The ball was not only directed perfectly , but hit with pace.  Instantly controlled by Dembele and expertly finished.

Not sure you'll see a better executed move and goal than that all season. The decoy movement of Jones pulled the defender out to create the space for Dembele to 'ghost' in behind. The inch-perfect pass was reminiscent of Dembele's to Jones for his goal in the opener at Chesterfield.

He deserves a pay rise and contract extension? Behave! Imagine me going into work and asking for a pay rise because I'm good at my job.


Depends on what level you started work at,

If and I think he is one of the lower paid of the 1st team because he had no experience of league football before us,

Or do you think he is one of the highest paid ?

If I am right then he deserves   a pay rise for two reasons,

1. He has proved he can play at this level,

2.  The length of his contract will either get us a bigger fee or we will be able to hold onto him longer.

Finally if you are good at your job ,what have you got to lose in asking for a rise. ?

I think the build up play to the goal is great. The passing from the right wing, across the goal and back out was brilliant, never mind the through ball from Summers. Great team work, great to see, Lets build on that.

He was signed as a prospect, his first pro contract so I doubt he'll be on a lot. The trouble here is, we have an option to extend his contract until July 2019, presumably on the same money.

From the players point of view, he'll want a new negotiated contract, perhaps if we up his wages to a livable wage he may sign an extension to three years which would only enhance his transfer value. He isn't that young at 21 (although according to wiki and FIFA, his age is up for some debate despite being born in England), a sad indictment of the scouting in the country that a player of this quality wasn't picked up by a club earlier, no doubt they looked at his size and dismissed him.

From the clubs point of view, and I suspect this is how it will play out, the 'board' can activate his extension for little cost. May result in a player who feels he is a key member of the first team on much less than players that can't even get in the squad and he would probably push for a move sharpish (who wouldn't?).

I hope we can keep him, it would be great for us and Dembele as he is playing at Town and progressing at a great rate. I think he could play in the championship NOW, and could go on to play in the Premier League. He is way too good for us and for this level of football after a handful of games, but he should stay and progress for a year or two, probably not three.

Interesting fact according to wiki: Karamoko Dembele is his brother, some may have heard of him. He's at Celtic, and is a real prodigy, expect to see him on FM 17/18 as a Wonderkid. There have been calls for Scotland to cap him early as England also think he could become a full international and have called him up for youth squads.
