Come on Duncan. You know we're only offering a new contract to maximise our profit on him
This might sound crazy.....but.....maybe we're offering him a new contract because he's one of our best players and we want to keep him?
I actually agree with this, at those wages I see a very large release clause being placed, he seems to like Rodgers and the club, he's a main man here, but quite frankly isn't THAT good yet. No one definitively bigger than us will pay crazy money for him and he wouldn't be a star in their teams either.
Don't get me wrong I think we need to keep him, he's very good for his age, but if we take the weekend as an example, a top player would have been in those positions and created something, he's not there yet. So i think we have a good chance of keeping him.
