Also not a past it , massive wage crock like half the dross we’ve kept onto for too long in recent years And guess who signed him. None other than your old favourite Carlos.

The only way is S6 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Depends what the plan is with Penney. We have him as a left back, potentially Foxy bingo & Palmer as cover. Which 2 combined are the cheapest?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Based on current form, yes. That said, I'm always conscious that players tend to improve as their contracts come to an end. Assuming he does stay, a position where we need to recruit in the summer for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Fox is one of those where you could use the old argument of "we need better if we are serious of challenging for top 2" On the flip side you ask who then? Who could we get who's available within our budget and is better than Fox. I can't think of any New deal should be offered for me whilst also looking for some good competition for him to keep him on his toes. Real question is would he want to stay?

Dutch McLovin Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 As for fox I never thought I’d say this but yeah he deserves a extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Arguably been one of our most consistent and most improved players ever since half way through last season. If he stays in form and injury free, he could end up being our player of the season. Deservedly as won over his doubters and deserves a new deal. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes it into the Welsh squad for the Euro's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Definite extension of 2 years minimum. He’s played very well over the last year or so at a high championship level in my opinion. Not the greatest going forward buy he does have a good cross on him. I do think he’s a very good defender tho and excellent in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 It takes a lot of character to turn things around like he has.. well worth a contract.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Keep the lad who has played in our last 16 games, usually extremely well, scoring two goals from full-back? er, yes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Deal, if he left we'd have to get two left backs. Rather give fox a deal get 1 left back in and then someone for another position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Absolute no brainer to offer him a deal. He's been one of our most consistent performers this season, and has proven himself to be a sound Championship full back. He'll be in demand. His skillset suits Monk's philosophy as well. He's a full back who's strong aerially, and main strength is his ability when defending. He's not a marauding, attacking full back that so many managers like these days, but he offers a good support option for Harris. Two year deal for a player currently in his peak age is a must.

Salmonbones Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think it's the wrong question. Does Fox want to sign a new contract for us? Clearly, one will be offered - probably equal or better terms, but does Fox want to stay or does he fancy his chances (and possibly a bigger pay rise) elsewhere? All things equal, I think i've seen on the pitch that Fox is enjoying himself recently. Based on that I think he'll sign a new contract, and that's good for both parties.

Owls-Fan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Since he’s been managed by Bruce and Monk he has improved a lot and more like the player that was attracting attention in his early Charlton days. So we need to keep him as replacing him for another championship standard left back might not be easy/cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Keep, like Costello said, the lads got character, we need someone with bottle to back Reach up, who will hopefully stay on the left. As for people saying a 1 or 2 year contract, why would he sign a 'short' term contract at 26? We should offer him 3 years, if he carries on improving he'll still be a saleable asset after 1 or 2 years.

Mystic Neg Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 100% deal, he looks a bit gormless but right now that's the only thing I've got against him. The passion he is showing, his strength of character, his ability to cross a ball and frequently be in the right place to clear one of the line are some of the many qualities he has. Rather keep hold of him than sign another Urby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Deal. Easy Done very well recently. Not on silly wages I imagine. If we improve that area then fine but he is worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point. We need a squad of players with strong character and he has showed he has it. Hasn't hidden under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
