Konate to Sign a New Deal?

Agree with Jozza on the midfield issue. Get some decent protection there and our defence is fine.
Hopefully if he does sign he forms partnerships with Leoni and Dinner Jacket.

Any update on this? Is he or isn't he?

No sign of an agreement with the current line being that it’s now the club that aren’t sure

Based on his performances this year the club shouldn't be sure. But letting him go for free will cost us a lot to replace him both financially and team stability.

For me it comes down to how much he wants. If he wants something close to Van Dijk money then he should be let go.

I doubt we will pay anyone close to what vvd and salah get once they are off the books. For our squad size we pay a lot in salaries. And some of the rumoured prices to buy in top wingers/midfielders are ludicrous. Really need some academy breakthrough to offset that but Arne in his wisdom has only given Rio any time and that seemed begrudgingly. I hear Nyoni is a real prospect but how will we know??
