    Next season.
    Surrounded by better players. He’ll probably have a better productive season challenging at the other end of the table. More interest from other clubs that are currently monitoring his progress. That’s likely to flush out bigger bids from bigger clubs. I think it would be detrimental to his progress to go this season, especially to Brentford.

    21s camp will have done him the world of good playing and training with the likes of Smith Rowe, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot and Jacob Ramsey all established premier league players.

    If he goes I just want him to go to a place where he’s not in a relegation battle. If a team is constantly defending it won’t take long for the “flop” to come out even though it might not be his fault…

    I don't disagree but a 21 year-old needs a hell of a lot of money to be comfortable for life in the style that an ex-prem footballer might expect to live in. I doubt a 3-year contract at Brentford would give him that.

    A 3yr contract on let's say 15k a week basic ( no bonuses etc ) is approx £2.3m. if you add in signing on fees and bonuses etc then you would have to be pretty stupid not to be financially secure for life after that.

    If you’re a young player and a Premier League club comes in for you, you’re of course going to want to go.

    You could suffer a career ending injury next season, and that could be that. You’ve got to have ambition and back yourself.

    Id like KLP to stay obviously, but if he goes for £16m+ I don’t think we can argue really. He’d get my good wishes and I’d have more faith that this setup would replace him properly.

    Knock off the tax, a £1-5m house (at least) a relatively lavish lifestyle for a few years, possibly an expensive divorce? Could be bugger all left. It's been seen before, it'll be seen again. And young footballers aren't always that savvy when it comes to money.

    Tbf all those you've listed are choices
    ( bar possibly the divorce ) and if someone is skint after earning those amounts of money they don't need to earn more they need to learn to manage/invest money better

    Yeah I ageee, one contract isn’t enough. What If he gets a career ending injury (not sure how it works financially with insurance) but if it turns out to be his last contract. It’s not enough to keep him
    At a decent lifestyle

    A career ending injury would see a very good payout if they had the proper insurance.

    Very few career ending injuries in the game anymore anyway. His last season with us pretty much sorts his next contract out after Brentford or wherever he ends up at championship level. How many players over the years do you see still get getting good contracts based on what the did in the past. He’s sorted.

    I agree, you never know what happens next season, so if he is keen to go, I would say take the money and use it wisely to strengthen the team.

    If that is the case I like it. And he'll be worth more.

    50% tax (less some offset from maxing out pension contributions if sensible). Nowhere near enough to be secure for life ..... unless planning on a monk like lifestyle.
    Highly unlikely scenario anyway.

    Sorry Paul. No disrespect intended. I think he’s better than Brentford, but he could do with another year’s development in the Championship. Then he’ll attract interest from bigger clubs I’m sure.

    Ok let's say after his basic wage, signing on fee, bonuses, image rights payments ( very little with someone like KLP at this stage but still there ) and saying worse case a 3yr deal with no increases in that time. He earns before tax £3.5m ( approx £1.2m over his basic ). take 50% of for tax etc to make it easy. That leaves £1.75m. that's more then enough to live on and invest in things like property etc in the background and see a very good livable monthly income for the rest of your life ( if the worst case happened ). Plus let's not forget it's almost certain that that 3yr deal wouldn't be his last deal as a footballer.

    If you earn that money at 21 and can't set yourself up for life then you have to ask some serious questions

    If his transfer fee is £16m he's due £1.6m of it, before his wages etc.
