If he wants to run down his contact and refuse a move, he's perfectly entitled to do that.
obviously - but we can withdraw his upgraded contract and basically say to him "this is it, sign it by xx date otherwise its withdrawn" and we can the publicly say he is for sale...If he wants to run down his contact and refuse a move, he's perfectly entitled to do that.
absolutely but don’t think it will come to that

we cant leave it much longer with him to make a decision as we need to have plan b up and running asap
He'll already know who we are trying to sign. Simms mentioned in an interview after signing that he basicaly knew who we were after.Another aspect to this could be Gus saying 'show me who you are going to sign and then I'll think about signing'
Which would also be fair enough.

He basically answered 'what are you doing' with 'I'm not wearing any panties'.
The bloke knows what he's doing, no kidding!
But Gus sitting and waiting could affect the quality of player we can bring in. As long as the contract is on the table, the increase in wages has to be accounted for. It's no good signing 9 players based on a budget with the hope Gus will sign, to then find out he doesn't, and we could have spent X amount more and got better quality than we did.That's not the same as getting them though is it? Gus won't fancy a relegation battle.
There are 9 more to come in we are told, I'm sure Gus will be thinking 'show me the quality'
The dutch lad would be a good start.

Um what. He was asked if he had a busy day. He said yes but not because of new signings. It’s literally the opposite. He was pouring water on the idea there’s something going on.
If he doesn't sign a new deal I wonder if the feeling towards him will start to sour?
He's a cult hero to us but playing hardball with the club never leaves players in a good light. Eerily similar to Youri Tielemans at Leicester last year, fans really started getting on his back and slating him during the back half of the year.
Yes it would be stupid but I wouldn't put it past some parts of our fanbase.And that clearly helped!

Yep, pretty much my sentiments.Sounds mental because for me hes the best player we've had since relegation from the prem.
However....
Sign it or fuckoff now Gus, stop dragging us through it
Across this whole saga I'm most of all fuming with myself for believing this bullshit. I'm not sure my youngest will speak to me again if he doesn't now sign after I told her he had.Hamer signed new contract all done.
The club want to announce along with new kit but they are still unsure on the exact date yet.
as for Vik. It’s becoming more restless. robins wants the deal done now but king still holding on for more money.
Think how I feel mateAcross this whole saga I'm most of all fuming with myself for believing this bullshit. I'm not sure my youngest will speak to me again if he doesn't now sign after I told her he had.
At least it'll be quieter at home I guess, every cloud.
And to be fair to you - you are quite loyalI love you gus unless you do something I don't want you to do and then I hate you
Be loyal to us like I am loyal to you!
Lol fans
I dunno, whenever I've been serving my notice or know I'm leaving it's some of the happiest time to be in the office - no pressure, don't have to try 100% or care about projects etc and just enjoy the last few weeks with your work friends before you leave .Just watched the MK Dons highlights, Is it just me, or is Hamer messing with my head. He looks so happy, playing little jokes, smiling all the time. I know that's his nature, but if you were leaving would you still be the same
Even joking with robins in tunnel on the walk out. Seems very friendly for a guy who might leaveJust watched the MK Dons highlights, Is it just me, or is Hamer messing with my head. He looks so happy, playing little jokes, smiling all the time. I know that's his nature, but if you were leaving would you still be the same
IF he was definitely leaving I doubt he would play and he seems to be putting the effort it in but without too much physicality.Just watched the MK Dons highlights, Is it just me, or is Hamer messing with my head. He looks so happy, playing little jokes, smiling all the time. I know that's his nature, but if you were leaving would you still be the same
Understand what you are saying, but in our normal jobs we can just wind down, a footballer could get a freak injury in pre season games and he's then fucked for his moveI dunno, whenever I've been serving my notice or know I'm leaving it's some of the happiest time to be in the office - no pressure, don't have to try 100% or care about projects etc and just enjoy the last few weeks with your work friends before you leave .
I would break the pay structure just to keep Gus , not very often you get a player of this quality. I’ve been watch the City for 50 odd years and for me he is the best .If we can’t afford him and no one bids what we want then keep him for a season just like Vik. He’s given us three amazing years already. No hard feelings here. He’s worth more than £20k/wk on the open market if we’re honest.
Are the clubs coming in for him putting better financial terms on the table than ours! Particular Burnley !I'd have thought that was obvious given the length of time his improved offer was put in from of him to now.
He's not dragging us through anything. He has a contract and is fulfilling his obligations. Best player by a country mile again last night. He has an offer, he's holding out to do what's best for him as we all would, but not sulking, not forcing a move, turning up and playing to a top level. Hope he stays, but if he goes he goes. I'm sure we'll have targets lined up fir all eventualities and there will be a time to make a decision but let's not force it or we might be pushing into a result we don't want.Sounds mental because for me hes the best player we've had since relegation from the prem.

Wait, Simms is an ITK??He'll already know who we are trying to sign. Simms mentioned in an interview after signing that he basicaly knew who we were after.
