Purely speculation but I wonder if all these long term contracts are a way to boost the value of the club (longer contracts adding more value onto player transfer fees) so that we can attract more cash for the stadium sponsorship/a potential buy out once it's built.
Wouldn't be surprised if all the players had clauses that say we will listen to offers over a certain amount in return for them helping us to do this
That aside, I'm delighted our two full backs are signed up for the long term. Would like to see verts and lamela next. Although as much as I like Jan and his partnership with Toby, I feel like he is one of the more replaceable players on the team
