Listened to his interview after the game. Am I reading too much into the contract question where he didn’t seem willing to really engage about it?

Yes.
Yes. What did you expect him to say in the middle of negotiations?

Maybe he's already agreed the new deal and that's why he was firing on all cylinders today.

Bit of a shit question, isn’t it?  Is there even a good answer he can give in that moment?

More goals in the last five weeks than Eddie Nketiah has since last Christmas.

More goals since last Christmas than Eddie Nketiah has since 2020 and the Covid lockdown days.

Good work Gareth.

He's open to listen to offers was the exclusive from that Romano fella on Thursday.

We don't need goals where we're going (out of the competition in the knockout stages)

Hope he signs that new deal. He is a class player, scores goals and is vital to the team. He gets criticised for his finishing at times, but there’s very few forwards who are more effective/impactful than him.

I remember a while ago reading that when asked where he gets his information from, Romano said that a lot of it actually comes directly from players/agents themselves, usually because they're trying to engineer something. Sometimes a move, sometimes a better contract offer.

To be honest that’d make sense. We need to show him we’re the offer to take.

Arsenal are the only side i'd worry about. Man City wouldn't want him and he'd rarely play, he'd need to be on crack to join anyone else the way we're going and the fact he's all but a guaranteed starter and anyone that could afford are shit and basket case clubs.

Hell of an exclusive from the tap-in merchant.

To make this a story, there are players out there who aren't "open to listen to offers" are there?

"Real Madrid want to pay you a billion pounds per minute"

"No, sorry. I cannot listen to this"

The prick.

Other than Man City, I doubt there are any British clubs who could afford him.
Spurs maybe, with the Kane money, but he wouldn’t go there

You're right about the tap-ins. Some think he's brilliant but I've never seen it myself though I don't do twitter.

I said this earlier, he's going nowhere and I think the new contract will be done by the end of the week.

I could see Chelsea being dumb enough to pay both us and him massive money. Nobody in their right mind should be wanting to go to Chelsea these days, but if they're not battling relegation come January I could see the appeal of thinking you could go in and be their saviour, and get paid loads while you're at it.
