It was also probably the reason a team like Leicester wanted to sign him... I think Harries also got into team of the tournament too (I’m not 100% sure, so correct me if I’m wrong).
I think what helped with GT was the youth tournament he played in for Wales that summer. Scored some goals and think he got in the team of the tournament so that put a few quid on his price.
If a number of clubs are interested it's likely to increase whatever fee is agreedHe was the first name on the team sheet and the captain of a very successful U18 side but I never looked at him and thought he would play so many games in our first team this season so if they gave him a 1 year contract like the others I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m sure they’re trying very hard to keep him but when Championship and Premier League sides recognise his talent theres only one way it’s going to go which is sad
Yeah, he's not as small as the DKE's, who are only 4ft 6 when stacked up upon each other, but I believe he is around 5ft 6, so Tom Cruise size.Is it Steadman who is small? If so maybe the Dke experience is going against him

I just wonder how much it is going to cost us in not getting a contract for Bayliss.
We all think he is going in the summer anyway, but under contract I just wonder how much we could have got for him.
He is under contract for next year.
Can you please post the article which confirms that Hobo .Been trying to confirm this for weeks along with a few others as consensus has been one year.He is under contract for next year.

I think he signed on for 18 months last year meaning he expires this June. TransferMarkt has it down as June 18. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong but am certain he's only contracted to this summer.
you have a link to that?On Twitter he said he had been offered a 2 year contract and that was at the end of 2016.
Fair enough, looks like you may be right.I've got no words !! So happy to have been offered a professional contract at Coventry, excited for the next 2 years I dated November 2016
As I said earlier on the radio they said they had asked Robins the question and he said Bayliss was not out of contract in the summer
That's an interesting timeline, as it seems different to the norm for professional football. Hopefully, we can secure him on a longer deal. IMO he is going to have better long term prospects if he's playing first team football....and hopefully in Div 1 for us next season.I've got no words !!

He signed it in the January so it does run to a transfer Window so not that unusual.That's an interesting timeline, as it seems different to the norm for professional football.

Offered in Nov 16 signed Jan 17If did sign in Nov/Dec would be very unusual to sign a 2 year contract that would finish in Nov/Dec they normally run until the end of a season. Would expect it to end Jun 18 or Jun 19. We might not be out of the woods yet concerning this.
Yes it is right, obviously better had it run to the summer, but possibly offers scope and time to persuade him to extend.Well if that is right that is excellent news.
Indeed, lovely of Adge to encourage our youngsters to stay.Fair enough, looks like you may be right.
Also a very telling reply by someone on there...
It won't be a contract until Jan, that simply does not happen aside from with players that are brought in on short-term contacts in the summer window. It will be an approximation of "roughly two years". Those years may have been the 2016/17 season and the 2017/18 season, or it may have meant from the end of the then-current season, so "this year and the two after", ie 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19. I think that they would have said "two and a half year contract" then though. And those are rarer for unproven youngsters, as he was then.
All of this could have been avoided if it had been reported as either a 1 and a half year contract, or a 2 and a half year contract. So no we definitely are not out of the woods yet, unless we are certain that Robins said that he is definitely not out of contract this summer......the club really should clarify this! Of course if Jeff was any cop at all he'd have asked Robins in one of his many interviews, but we know that aint gonna happen cos he's too busy being a frightened rabbit in Squeeky's headlights....
