I'd give him a not particularly lucrative two year extension if he'd take it at least. Wouldn't want him having a good year and then risk some team trying to tempt him with silly wages on a free. Or him having a great year and a big team snaps him up. Even if he had minimal impact I think a low Championship or L1 team would take him off our hands if we didn't see his future here so not like we'd be stuck with him.
Don't think we'd need to invest much to just avoid there being any possible issues ahead, so better safe than sorry.
Don't ask me why exactly, but I can easily see McCarthy being allowed to go for free.
Nailed on starter since VVD got injured, had a few dodgy games and a few blinding games. Gets better every week. Probably worth about 30m now!I would say the Stephens is by no means safe at CB

We will be entitled to some money as he has been in our Academy, but (as a reasonably well off club) it is morally correct to let him go to a club he chooses rather than try to squeeze money out of the deal and perhaps block the move. If he was a massive talent sign him for longer and play him....otherwise just wish him well.Don't ask me why exactly, but I can easily see McCarthy being allowed to go for free.
I think Targett deserves a chance to show what he can do....he has missed most of a very important season for him. You can contrast what has happened to him to what has happened with Jack Stephens. Matty missed the chance to show what he could do and learn, whereas Jack had a chance he could only dream about and grabbed it. So unless Puel says that he doesn't want him and won't play him, I'd rather he stayed here for now.
