Dozzell out of contract soon...... 09:06 - Jan 8 with 2232 views | ArnieM | Am I right in thinking we have already offered him a contract , but he hasn't yet ( or ever likely too?) , sign it ? |  |

Dozzell out of contract soon...... on 09:10 - Jan 8 with 1751 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | I think that is right. If I were him I wouldn't sign it to be fair. He will be off to Norwich in the summer unfortunately. |  |

Nope. Last time I watched him he was constantly giving the ball away as he spent the whole game trying ridiculous through balls, the sort where if by some miracle they come off then he'll be hailed as an amazing playmaker. As it stood he just looked a bit of a wally. |  | |  |

Dozzell out of contract soon...... on 09:17 - Jan 8 with 1712 views | PhilTWTD | He's not, the club have an option for another year after this season. There were talks about a new deal in the summer but no deal agreed. |  | |  |

There's a player there if you don't think that then you probably don't understand football one that could be worth 20 to 40 million in the future once he get's his game together. It's about Lambert finding solutions to get the best out of him, he's a player who we should be building a side around, he takes the ball off the centre half's on the half turn, there isn't many of those players about in league 1 or the Championship. If we let him go, it will come back to bite us in the backside in a big way financially. |  | |  |

I wouldn't sign if I were him. But also, if he can't get into our team then he's no great loss. |  |

Taking the ball on the half turn is one thing, but keeping possession and making good use of the ball is another. It's frustrating as there does seem to be talent there, but he should be able to make an impact in L1. |  |

Dozzell out of contract soon...... on 09:21 - Jan 8 with 1684 views | itfcjoe | Phil seems to think he has an option of another year on it that we can take but hard to see that backed up anywhere else. I think now is the time for him to come in and play a run of games, he's looked like he is ready to kick on now as been one of our better players in all his recent starts |  |

He does seem to see passes that nobody else on our books can see but perhaps attempts the "killer" pass too often. Also if the players in front of him are not seeing what he is seeing what in different circumstances could be the perfect pass looks like a wasted ball because nobody has read it. I think that he has largely disappointed when given a chance and we will never know what would have happened if he had not got injured in that Birmingham game two and a half years ago when he looked the best player on the pitch. As gets said from time to time he probably needs to be playing with better or quicker thinking players for his game to flourish. |  | |  |

If he is as good as believed he should be a stand out in League 1. He is not so far. Fingers crossed but a real danger of him not fulfilling his potential. |  | |  |

Cracking Post. I cant stand people writing off Dozzell, really annoys me. |  |

I think we've latterly been better when he's in the team but I'm sure that's what his people are doing; waiting to see how regularly he plays here before committing to a longer stay, and probably also what division we're in at the end of the season. |  | |  |

Can't blame him for either of them points really, especially assessing just how regularly he is playing in the second half of the season. |  |

He seems to have come into his own lately and the better performances have involved him, just frustrating that he doesn't seem to get that run in the team. Hopefully he will start on Saturday and get us playing |  |

That's what the club were saying in the summer when the Norwich thing was a story and Lambert mentioned it as well. Lambert: No Bids for Dozzell 25th Jul 2019 15:12Town boss Paul Lambert says the Blues are yet to receive any offers for midfielder Andre Dozzell with Premier League clubs, including local rivals Norwich City, eyeing the 20-year-old. 10 |  | |  |

He needs game time not in and out, I wouldn't mind if he had a run a few games out but 1 or 2 in then out doesn't help him or the team. |  | |  |

Ah I see, thanks for that. But I assume this doesn’t preclude any Club coming in for him, and us selling him? |  |

Suspect if anyone matches our valuation then we will sell, I have no problem with this as long as we make sure we load the deal with add ons as you can see he will be a good player. |  | |  |

Careful with add on, as we saw in the Webster deal, milestone add on can be next to worthless. |  |

This makes me laugh.. everyone on here whinges we only play sideways/backwards then we have a player who takes risks he gets hammered. |  | |  |
