Joe Aribo making noises about staying next year. As much as i think he is a good player I'd rather have some cash for him and bring some fresh faces in. Don't see him signing a new deal.

Agreed. We have to sell high value players who are not going to sign a new contract. Goldson was different as his resale value wasn't as high but Aribo shouldn't be allowed to run down his contract.

not much you can do to force him though.

True, although I'd argue like Bassey, Aribos stock will be at high right row. Just came off the back of a 70 games season where he played the first half really well, fell away about after AFCON but finished strongly, including a good performance leading the line in a EUROPA cup final and scoring a goal.

 

Next season he could get injured or just not play well and not be in the team. We as a team might not play well and underwhelm. Anything can happen in football.

If you are Ross Wilson, it becomes impossible to plan a transfer window without making certain assumptions about who you want to keep and who you want to sell, neither of which come with any certainties and will always be subject to the players' wishes. You can't guarantee what will come off but these starting assumptions must inform your activities. It would be fascinating to know how anyone approaches this situation. Our problem is that we have no idea what those assumptions might be.

If I were a player I would always run down my contract you owe them nothing as you have fulfilled the contract .

And pick up a whopping signing on fee from a new club .

and prey you don't get injured or dropped. There is a reason so few do it.

Yup, clubs generally won't break their wage structure on someone just because they don't have to pay a transfer fee either, so it doesn't often pay.
