Transfer Rumours Jan 2021 Transfer Thread

So if it isn’t sorted now then in the summer he only has a year left on his deal??

then sell him now

 

Any 2.5 year deal signed now would start in January 2021 and end in June 2023 with the option of aan extra year for the club.
I don't see how anybody would think anything different.

 

Nobody tells the Allams how to conduct their contract negotiations.

 

Regardless, the fact that we can't agree to tying down a player like him because of something the club want, as opposed to the player, is daft. Yeah, alright, he could get on and play and let it take care of itself etc, but you have to ask if the problems caused by the extra year are worth losing a player of his calibre. If he does well and goes again next year, we can maybe renegotiate.

The football has to come first, not the principles of the Allam family.

 

are you saying that the contract will start at the same time as the present contract?

 

Everyone has been crying out for the club to sign the younger players to longer deals to protect the club, now they are doing that they are in the wrong and should just give in to KLPs representatives demand's? The club had coached and developed him from age 8. Why on earth shouldn't they want a slightly longer commitment from the lad. If he's so desperate to get away and is confident he is going to make the grade long term, then put a minimum fee release clause in and sign a longer deal. Give a little back to the club that's given you the opportunity to become a footballer since a very very young age

 

So you are saying that KLP's present contract ends in June 2022 and Hull City want the new contract to end in June 2023?
Both would have an option for the club to extend by another year.
So KLP wants more money but no change in when the contract ends.

 

Bingo

 

So why did he sign the original contract?
He must have not been so confident then.
I must admit it's a strange situation. If he wants to sign a new contract now which ends in June 2022 (plus an extra option of one year by the club) I would describe that contract as being 18 months NOT two years.

 

The only thing our transfer activity has shown me so far is the fact that our tight arsed owners dont want to do anything more than give the club another lick of cheap paint. They have no ambition foresight or interest other than selling the lead weight they see as HullCity. If that means potentially staying in this ****ty league and in the process losing the best young prospect we’ve arguably had since Bowen did one... so be it.

 

I don't remember seeing one person accuse him of being greedy, if I've missed that then I apologise

 

What a stupid comment! The transfer business so far this window has been excellent on both ins and outs

 

I would have thought it was sensible that, if you offered a player more money, it would be in return for a longer contract.
In KLPs case the wages listed on facebook show that he's on a ridiculously low wage for his performances now.

 

He signed it because it was an improvement on the current contract he had. The one he's been offered recently is an improvement on his current one but his representative wants the improved deal but on the same length

 

Those wages posted ( if it was the same ones posted on here ) are wrong

 

So City, like most clubs, are offering more money but want an extended contract at the risk of pissing him off.
