Athletic saying a year option on Tuanzebe 09:45 - Mar 5 with 3586 views | WestStanderLaLaLa | “five players out of contract this summer — Tuanzebe, Cameron Burgess, Massimo Luongo, Marcus Harness (on loan at Derby) and Elkan Baggott (on loan at Blackpool) — only Luongo’s deal does not include a club option to extend by a year.” I didn’t think that was the case having triggered the option last year? |  |

Indeed, option was taken last summer. |  | |  |
Athletic saying a year option on Tuanzebe on 10:42 - Mar 5 with 3194 views | Linners | I've just never assumed he's going to with us past May. A little while ago I'd have been surprised and delighted if he'd signed a longer-term deal but I think I'd be a little less excited now as his injury record is so bad. Either way, he'd be mad to sign one with us! |  | |  |

If they're wrong about that, they could be wrong about Delap having a £40m buyback clause. |  |

Athletic saying a year option on Tuanzebe on 10:49 - Mar 5 with 3149 views | SuffolkPunchFC | Yup, I think they're wrong. The only mention I can find of Tuanzebe's contract is in the retained list last summer, and that only says we took up our option. His original contract was announced as a 1-year deal, with an option for a 1-year extension. On that basis, he's out of contract with no option come June. It's the same situation for Burgess. Walton was also in a final year option, but was given a new 2-year contract last August. |  | |  |

I have no issue if the contract is pay as he plays, but with his injury record I am wary of what he would be costing us. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

He has bigger fish to fry than us this summer from what I've heard. He certainly won't be accepting a pay as you play deal here!! |  | |  |
Athletic saying a year option on Tuanzebe on 12:38 - Mar 5 with 2568 views | Radlett_blue | I'd like to keep Tuanzebe, but I think all the others could be let go. I don't see Baggott playing much in a top level championship team & he needs to play regularly from a development point of view. |  |

No. If I were their agents I'd be telling them to wait to the end of the season to see which division we're in and what other interest they receive. |  | |  |

Yeah, we could extend Harness's contract for a year with the idea of getting a fee for him, but that probably wouldn't be in the player's best interests. |  |

Phil, why do you think Woolfenden didn't wait till the end of the season as well, rather than signing with us again in January? |  | |  |

Indeed, we offered Edmundson a new contract at the end of last year with that in mind, although I think there were thoughts of bringing him back into the squad at one point. |  | |  |

Probably a little different with him as a local lad. If we're in the Premier League next year and he's not getting games, then I suspect he'd look to move on on loan or permanently. |  | |  |

We'd be mad to let Burgess go if we're going to be in the Championship. |  | |  |

I think with him it'll be more what he decides he wants to do. Can see Rangers and Celtic being potential destinations given his Scottish connections. |  | |  |

Assuming we are in the Championship I think we will be buying with the Premier League in mind. Much as we did in L1. We bought Championship quality players. If we go down, we'll build again, ready to come back to the Prem. |  |

We’ll have Greaves in the building, with a number of PL games under his belt. Can see there is any chance anyone comes in for him. So for us he’s probably the best we could get |  |

Half wondered if some of the bigger clubs in Asia would take a look at him, certainly on a longer contract also. |  |

Shame as a quality player, a bit of a faux par letting things get to here must be worth £15m |  |

best we could get but that's not a bad thing. Was in the Championship team of the season last year! |  | |  |
