Good move. Tbh he should have been given more chances - he’s looked decent when played. Hopefully he can come back and win us the championship next season
Big jump from L1 to the PL though, so probably about what's been expected of him; could be a good move for him to get used to the league and as you say, win the Champ with us next year.
Stephens contract is up in the summer isn’t it? Not convinced any PL club will come in for THB except maybe thinking they can get him cheap. Presumably we’d want more than we paid though and I’m not sure anyone is paying more than £20m for him just yet.
Nah, Stephens has another year after this season as promotion triggered an additional year on his deal. I think THB could easily go to a Palace/West Ham level side, though as you say, whether they'd want to pay what we'd ask for is another matter.
Id imagine Palace will be awash with cash after selling Guehi and possibly a couple of others in the summer. Wouldn’t be arsed if he left if we go down.
Assuming he has a while left on his contract then all it will mean is we will be able demand relatively big money. If we did get Rohl in the summer then it would make sense to keep him though.
Great. Another contract extension on promotion for someone not good enough for the promotion. Genius. Sure he’s okay at Championship level. But feels like a good season to part ways with him. With THB, it might depend on how he does second half of the season too. If he continues as he has done, I just don’t think anyone will pay what we would want. I wouldn’t be shocked if he does go, but think he’s more likely to stay than go.
Has Cornet left yet? Best route to get a striker in would be on loan imo. Don’t know enough about other teams squads, but a player in a Zirkzee situation who is out of favour with a new manager and needs minutes.
