Popular Post The People's Hero Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 23 May 2021 23 minutes ago, Frost said: His family are really settled here aren't they? Yes. When he joined us (after the loan); his was apparently courting other 'bigger' clubs; but YT basically told his agent " I want to go to Leicester; here's what I want to earn and I need to be a part of what's going on there.

I did say earlier; never say never; but I don't think he will be agitating for a move any time soon (but very likely a new contract - and watch this space). @Bert may be able to add more around or support the above. The caveat here is that if Real/Barcelona suddenly find they aren't broke and offer £100mn; well, you know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Surely there are only x amount of clubs who he'd entertain a move.to; Bayern, barca, Real, Juve,.Inter, PSG, man City,.Liverpool,.Man Utd. And considering half of them are.stony broke,.or in Man City's case, no obvious requirement, the chances of him.moving are quite small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 I think I would cry if he left, I love Youri! I hope it wasn't a goodbye and that contract can get sorted really soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of the above but don’t pretend he wouldn’t jump at a huge move should everything be aligned. In my opinion I don’t think he leaves this year, but if he hasn’t signed the contract before the euros then we have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theessexfox Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 2 years left will always make us nervous until he signs - would be a different story if he had 3 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not pretending anything and as far as I'm aware; it was his agent who wanted him to hang on and would have hung on longer. YT wanted the deal done. He might not have been desperate to come on loan here; but once he had, he was very keen to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may very well be right but as above, until he signs the deal then I’ll be nervous and I suspect the club will also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Please let him sign a long term contract tomorrow. Would make everyone feel one hell of a lot better after today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Noticeably tearful at the end. Hoping he stays. Wouldn't begrudge him if he left, however I hope we would command a massive fee if this was the case. Knowing how we do business, he won't be going cheaply. I reckon he'll stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAnglianFox Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Looked incredibly emotional in every video I've seen of him that's doing the rounds 😟 It's fvcking crazy what a few beers can do to your paranoia 😂 Just sign already Youri, the seasons done and I still can't relax ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Not read the comments about earlier but does anyone know what the delay was about him coming out for the Player's POTS? Was it because he was in tears for missing out on CL? Or other reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it because he was in tears for missing out on CL? Or other reasons? Could have been anything - he was hanging around post match for ages to do an interview. At one point he tried to leave to go back to the dressing room but was dragged back. My money is on a dump once he finally got back inside.

Izzy Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 I think he'll go. BR had a long word in his ear at full time after the Cup Final and I sensed something was up then. I'll be gutted but he's a top, top player and in his prime. We were fortunate to see him play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 23 May 2021 Share Posted 23 May 2021 Brendan said post match when asked about him or any players leaving - that as far as he is concerned we should have no concerns. Of course he can’t answer questions about players with 100% certainty. A month or so ago he said he hoped we wouldn’t be selling anyone we didn’t want to. More recently he has sounded less sure when quizzed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
