Why would he want to stay? He could get into a premier league team so why would he stay in the championship with a team who don't look like they are going into the premier league soon?
It would be amazing if he would stay but I can't see it happening unfortunately
Another thing, if we do sell him it should be done quickly and not wait until the last minute so we can find a good replacement quickly

He may get in to a Premier League side but I doubt he would get many games. If anything he'd be brought in as a 2nd keeper and one for the future. If he stays here, he has already got the fans on his side, and he will play A LOT of football.
So it is still another year anyway, I wonder if he will chance it and hope he has another great season?
Problem is if he rejects a new deal he will be sold as there is no way Ranson will let his contract run down and he leaves for nothing.
It must be frustrating for him tho to be near the top 6 thinking we might do it and prob thinking to himself everton can piss off, then all of a sudden we drop straight back down the league knowing in the back of his mind a premier team wants him and does he want to be with a bottom hafl championship side for maybe season?
Will Westwood Stay?
I think its a forgone conclusion that he will leave. Would you stay?
Its best that he is sold quickly so we have plenty of time to find a more than adequate replacement.

I think hes one of our best players to be honest his saves in alot of games have done more then the strikers goals imo.
Personally i think we will lose Westwood in the summer. To be honest no one is irreplaceable just some a lot harder to replace than others.
His approaching the club to open contract negotiations is a win win situation for him. If he gets a better contract he is laughing, but by making the approach he is alerting others that there may be an opportunity to obtain his services if RR doesnt match his aspirations. It says all the right things to the fans too, and places any "blame" for not keeping him on the shoulders of RR and the club. Quite a clever move by him I reckon.
I dont criticise him for doing it, he has got to be worth more than we are currently paying him. I can't blame if he does go for wanting to better himself either.
I do think this summer is make or break for him, ie signs extension or will move on. Unfortunately i think it will be the latter.

Have to agree with Stopper it is far better this is sorted out soon than it drags on through the summer or to next January

I'm actually going to ejaculate if he signs a new contract. He wants too, and we want too. Also i think RR knows he has to be more flexible with Westwood in terms of wages if he wants to keep him.
I do actually think we will though you know!

What worries me is that if a bigger club comes in with a large bid, new deal or not he will be sold.
Thats what worries me instead of showing ambition on the football side they only want to lengthen his deal so he cannot leave on the cheap
I bloody hope he stays !!!
Nice long contract please Mr Westwood ! I would be gutted if he left to be quite honest.
We don't have much longer till we find out anyways.

Westwood has always said he does not want to leave and CC/RR only sell players that want to go (or are not good enough).
Imho, some of the big clubs are a little reluctant to buy him as a has a slight weakness with coming for crosses and his general communication with defenders - weaknesses that will probably not improve at his age

At the end of the day hes going to say he wants a new contract,it keeps us fans on his side,deep down he knows that if a prem side comes in for him hes off.Id be gutted to lose him but if he brings in a good transfer fee then we can use that money to strengthen throughout.If it wasnt for him we would be going into these final games with a huge threat of relegation still.

Would a premier side even play him though ? most premier league teams are never willing to make the risk with the championship players. They sign them and then sub them because theyr too afraid to let them play at a higher level.

No matter how good he is i think he would have to wait for his chance if he joins a prem club.But i think he would be prepared to do that if his wages are going to be massively more than they ever could be with us.
I understand the draw of the wages, I mean who would realistically turn down that kind of money?
But at the same time, as a footballer, surely the main aim is to play as much football as possible?
I can't see this happening for him if he was to go to a Premiership side as he'd more than likely be bought in as a 2nd, or even 3rd, goalkeeper.
I'd love for him to stay, as I dread to think where we'd have been without him this season!

I understand what your saying but if we offer him a 4 year deal and put him on say 7k a week,then a prem club offered him a 4 year deal but on 20k a week,theres sadly only gonna be one outcome,no matter how much he wants to play football.
This is very true
Same happend with Dann last season
We couldnt match the 19k wage of brum!
I think so too. One more yr then he will go if we don't get in the prem. Would u like it if you were that good and you were in a league that is not as good as you are. He must be vry stressd at the moment as he love cov, but he knows he should be in goal for Arsenal as they do need him
