Do they do
50% of current wage retainers, and
+ 10% bonus if you're available to play, and
+ 25% if you play contracts?
Not sure if they're legal

It'll be like a new signing.

50% of current wage
25% start bonus/10% sub appearance
10% goal bonus
That's legal and would suit me fine. Whether it suits him is another matter

Will never really understand the stick he gets. Been an absolute warrior for us through the bleakest of times, doing a completely thankless task and putting his physical wellbeing and career on the line for much of it, while being regularly insulted for not being toxically masculine enough.
It's probably the sense of never ending saga, whether he wants to go or not , many feel he would have been away yonks ago if things had panned out the way he wanted, he has undoubted talent has been unlucky with injuries, don't think anyone cares about masculinity if they are of sound mind, then there is the question if he is surplus to requirements now we have new ambitious owners, obviously that goes for a big lump of the squad.

If he does sign another, shorter term, sensible contract, then if he lives up to his own hopes, we could get actual money for him in 2-3 years

You can understand fans being cynical, he's made no noises at all about wanting to stay until now. Maybe it is the Moyes factor, maybe it is the stadium but it does also feel like it's very much that no one at a level above us has come in for him, other than the link to Newcastle there hasn't been anything and he could have signed for someone abroad by now if there was interest.
Maybe realising that the likes of Leeds or Burnley were going to be his best offers he's decided he might be better saving face and staying here. He's a player I don't really feel anything for, (like most these days) I don't dislike him and he'll always have respect for the Palace game but I also don't think he's that good, he's had 18 good months mainly behind closed doors and he's been injured more than to just try and blame managers and style of play, he's injury prone, simple as that. Plus I can't be arsed with the circular arguments for another two or three years.

Thing is he's a bit like Barkley at this stage, he's past the age where he's going to improve beyond what he shows which means he's a good player but he's not great. But because he's been the next big thing for ages he expects game time which is understandable, just don't think he deserves to be getting that next year here

His physicality and ability to win duels is perfect for Moyes
For a fee of £0, you won’t find a better rotation option.
Recoup what we can of the Beto fee, sign a new option, resign Dom, send Chermiti out on loan. That’s a solid summer, on to the midfield.

Let's be honest if he stays he won't be a rotation option, he won't settle for that, that's the issue with him staying, not that he has nothing to offer.

Yeah can’t be pinning our hopes on him for next year. It won’t get that much better and he’ll still miss loads of guilt edged chances that a half decent striker scores
If we had a Callum Wilson standard forward we would have been far higher in the league these last few years
Beto is not the answer either, sadly, so a new first choice striker is a must this summer

If he stays he's part of the squad, if the management decide to bring another option in that's up to them. He doesnt get to veto it.

A sensible 1 year deal on sensible wages I don't see why not.
He's crap at 1 on 1s and he isn't a goalscorer but he has his plus points. Beto is garbage and Chermitti isn't ready.
We're not signing Broja.
Need probably two CF's.
Would be fine re signing him.

He's out for a last big (ish) contract, he's 28 not 32 or some such. He'll go somewhere where we gets a 3-4 year deal.
No way he'd take a 1 year contract.
