Wood is out of contract at the end of this season and Leeds have been credited with more than a passing interest in Nathan, as have Brentford. I read an article about him a little while back that stated both teams were monitoring the situation. He will be a class act and he is going into this season with options as to his future come the end of June. We need to tie him down if we can or get him playing and more involved so that he sees his future with Boro. I appreciate we can’t make him sign a new deal, but if he saw an avenue opening up at Boro then he just might agree a new deal, game time over money might be a decider. Given how highly he is rated, not having him tied down going into his final year troubles me. Were he to leave next June it would end up being for a fraction of his real worth. I think he may just be a player that ends up at the very top. I assume talks have been held, but don’t know if they have. We have recent history letting contracts run down and trying to negotiate too late in the day. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Christ I didn't realise Nathan Wood's contract ran out at the end of this season. Should be very high on Kieran Scott's task list, that. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 315 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 People saying we wouldnt sell Fry for £30m. I reckon we would sell Fry and Tav for £30m combined. Link to post Share on other sites

uncle_rico 387 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Remember when everyone thought Ben Gibson was worth £25m+? I loved Gibbo and thought he had a great season in the premier league, but he was never worth that. Fry could be worth a lot of money in the future, but the most anyone would be offering now would be max £10m - £12m. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Could be an absolute travesty to lose him to someone else. We would still get a fee I think but I suspect it would go to tribunal and it wouldn't truly reflect his potential.

I get what your saying but recently a lot of CB's in this league have been going for around £20m Webster at Bristol City went for £22m. Fry if an offer came in north of £20m, we'd certainly have to consider it. Anything below £20m I would rejected in an instance tbh. Link to post Share on other sites

Should be very high on Kieran Scott's task list, that. I wouldn’t worry. He’s so young so it would go to a tribunal so he won’t leave on a free anyway. Most clubs don’t like the tribunal route, so if he really doesn’t want to stay we will get a decent deal regardless. I’m sure he will sign a new contract but it’s not that pressing a matter currently. Need to concentrate on incomings, although I hope the club can manage to work on multiple contracts at the same time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,497 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hopefully we will announce Wood has signed a new long term deal this month at the same time as confirming he has been sent on loan for the season to a team that will assist in his development. Link to post Share on other sites
