I can't really see how we can hang on to Akpom beyond next season unless we get promoted and can offer him significantly more. If that happened I could see him signing an extension.
If we don't go up, someone will offer daft money this summer that we can't turn down given his contract situation, or they will wait to see if he can do it for two seasons on the bounce and/or try to pick him up for free next summer.
Players' stock can fall pretty quickly, especially in this division. What would we get for Jones now? This time last year we'd have been talking about £20m or something.
Incidentally, I think Fry will be off either way.
