New contracts?

lundi 13 décembre 2021

Thought this could be an interesting thread. Unlike last summer when we basically said “get rid” to the majority of the 11 guys who were out of contract, think there will be a fair few we will want to keep. Contracts expiring at end of the season:

Nathaniel Clyne
Martin Kelly
James Tomkins

Cheikh Kouyate
Jordan Ayew

Conor Gallagher
JP Mateta

I think Clyne goes if Ferguson proves himself. Martin Kelly goes because he is not in serious contention. Tomkins, I originally wanted him to go because of his injury record, but he is so good that perhaps he could stay if he was willing to take a reduction in wages?

Kouyate has been fantastic in Vieira’s system. Surely he deserves a 2 year contract? Ayew has been instrumental imho. I think he deserves a 3 year contract. Hope we can tie them down to new long term contracts.

Mateta is being moved on in January I think. Gallagher obviously we’d love to keep. Wonder if we could get him on loan for another season after this one? As good as he has been for us I don’t think he would play regularly for Chelsea because he is not really a sitting midfielder in their 3-4-2-1 and there is a lot of competition for the 2 behind the striker - Ziyech, Pulisic, Mount, Werner, Hudson-Odoi, Havertz.

Would be interested to know people’s thoughts, especially on Ayew and Kouyate.
