fox_up_north Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Keep him. He's good for the squad and he can't surely be on that much. For the sake of a year, let him stay - he's not amazing but he can see out a game and we know what he can do. I'd be cautious of bringing in a player to replace him that's an unknown. If he gets replaced it has to be with someone who actually stays wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Will be kept IMO. Will get a new 2 year deal with the option of a third year probably. Would still like to see him around the club when he's 33/34. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Surely one of the nicest players ever to play for us and has been a brilliant servant for the club. Wouldn't begrudge him a move if it's what he wants but still feel with the amount of games we're likely to play this season he'll be useful at some stage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Suzie the Fox Posted 5 July 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 5 July 2021 I would very upset if one of the last 3? remaining title winners left. I love Marc, he may not be rocking it in stats or leading in goals/assists, but he is for sure 1 hell of a valuable member of the squad. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz93 Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Looking at Burnley's current wages, looks like 50-60k is their highest. I'm sure Marc is on about that so for him to move he'd likely want that wage plus a long-term contract. I know Burnley have new owners but even still would they make a 31 year old one of their top earners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so clear how much he loves what he gets to do for a living and that he’s still a fan in his heart. I hope we sign him to a new deal because I love rooting for the guy but also because it’s incredibly valuable to have a veteran with his character around the younger players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Arm Babba Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 No way. Not for sale. I’d be gutted if Albrighton left. He’s the epitome of what we are all about, hard work, character, and tremendously underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim5000 Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Marc is the most underrated and versatile members of the squad. No way should we be selling him at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone has said he's useless but as with every player it's price dependent. An offer of £8m+ would be a sell An offer of £4m-£8m would be worth considering An offer of less than £4m is probably a no Albrighton is 31 and a squad player, a chance to cash in on players with this profile has to be entertained at the right price.

tom27111 Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 A very valuable and versatile squad member, plus a top bloke. Definitely keep and offer a 2 year extension. Not quite at the same level, but he's definitely got a bit of James Milner about him. Never lets us down, plays anywhere he's needed and when you think you've got a better option to call on, Mr dependable comes in and gives you a solid 7/8 week in, week out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridFox Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 I would just be sad to see him leave for sentimental value. Still the best crosser at the club. In England actually. Love you Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your last sentence but I just can't see them offering any amount that would make up for what he brings to the squad and the necessity of replacing him. Maybe I'm wrong and they're willing to stump up a decent fee but I think we'd be better off getting one more season from him and letting him leave on a free as a legend, rather than taking a relatively small amount that won't meaningfully impact our ability to bring players in and further weakening our options in that position.

I get your point but my price would be way higher than what Burnley will be willing to pay. £20m. Considering his contract is nearly up. Otherwise much more. Weren't they saying £50m for McNeil before covid? He has qualities for us that are basically irreplaceable. If we need the money, sell someone with less experience and understanding of the club. I'd be trying to keep several of the title winners around as coaches after they retire. Possibly including Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 5 July 2021 Share Posted 5 July 2021 Would suit Burnley down to the ground, puts great crosses in for the big strikers, always active and helps out defensively, majority of the fans love him, on a relatively low wage, hold on hold on, why would we consider letting him leave for next to nothing, unless he wants a move, then it’s £15million… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
