I'd give him a 2 year contract with an option for an extra year... He's not showing any signs of dropping off so think he's earned that imo.
I suspect any negotiations haven't really been about money - but how much faith we're willing to show him in terms of length of contract.
2+1 would suit me fine. I think we've got 18 months of him being a regular
Money will I’m sure be part of it, is his last big pay day, either here or in Saudi, doubt he has a career in football once he retires as a player so he will feel the need to max out for the sake of his family.
Hardest player to replace (of those with expiring contracts) and this buys us some much needed time. His younger version should still be a recruitment priority, but it is not desperate any more.
