We must keep Chuba. (#KEEPCHUBA).

Its frustrating for us fans to be in the dark about whether or not your best player is going to sign an improved deal or leave, but negotiations have probably been going on for a few months now. Negotiations that are based around what league we are in next season with a set of scenarios and deals on the table to reflect the two possible outcomes. Now we know where we are playing our football for 23/24 there will be much more clarity. I know I'm stating the obvious there btw!

I can see him signing another deal at boro, partly to repay the club for resurrecting his career (so we can get a better fee for him when any prem clubs decided to take a punt on him in the following 6 - 12 months.)
I can see it going the way of signing a new deal but having a clause to say that if a fee of over '£x' amount comes in, we wont stand in his way of leaving. I think that satisfies both parties and is what I would do.
I think similar to you. I would expect him to sign a 3 year deal but it will contain a release clause that becomes active if we don’t get promoted. I think that would suit everybody.
 
Depends if you think he is a one season wonder. Gestede had a similar season with blackburn and then he was gash thereafter

I get that but technically Akpom is light years ahead of players like Rudy Gestede. I couldn’t believe last season how good he was when he got on the ball and was given space to play in. A better comparison would be to say would Gedtede score 29 goals playing as a number 10? Obviously the answer is no cos Gestede is nowhere good enough technically to play the role

Yup, this is the key to Akpom, his goals might dry up but his technique won't.

If he gets 15 next year it would be a good return, and probably means teams have had to throw more resources into managing him, so there should be other gaps elsewhere, we just need to exploit them.

We will have a minimum valuation on Chuba and anything under that we would reject and be prepared to let him leave for free as his worth over the course of next season is worth the gamble.

I think it is likely that with him having only one great season in the champo that clubs will not be prepared to meet the valuation and Chuba ends up staying almost by accident.

I know, and for something like 15mill as well.

I am astounded by the number of fans who are offering one of our greatest ever goalscorers away for peanuts, in modern football terms.
 
The money we have wasted on striker over the years it's worth paying Chuba a bumper 40k a week or something to keep him happy and scoring for us

Exactly Sheriff. A striker like that, 29 goals in a season, playing for the Boro, should be unsellable. Unless he wants to go…
