So I woke up this morning to read the article in the Wigan Today about a so called possible “new deal” for Aasgaard by the club and I spent the next 5 minutes wiping the cornflakes off the kitchen wall.
Really, who thought to write this piece of crap? are they on MDMA or something?.
Aasgaard signed a long 5 year deal 18 months back so as it stands he’s 3 1/2 years left so any new deal would def not involve adding to the length of his contract it would be purely negotiating more money.
Now considering what’s gone with us basically releasing everyone and anyone on decent money and the new wage structure put in place we couldn’t come close to what other clubs could offer him.
Aasgaard originally signed a 5 year deal allowing him to develope over the next couple of years. From the time he signed he has improved 10 fold so now the clubs in a strong position over the negotiating table due to him still having 3 years left on his current deal.
This lad has come through the worse period bar none in the clubs history very tough times and could have bailed out at any point. He’s seen 4 owners, administration and a massive clearances plus wages brought to an all time low.
He’s seen the highs of promotion and the lows of relegation and all in such a short space of time that’s alot of stress and alot to take in for such a young lad.
Right now he’s at the top of his game and that young thin teenage boy we saw a few years back has become a man which inturn had drawn the attention of a number of clubs and rightly so.
So,
What can Danson do to keep him here ?,
Nothing absolutely nothing. We are one of the lowest paying clubs in the league and there’s no way we could come remotely come close to what a Stoke Blackburn or Forest could offer.
I think he should stay till the summer and if he maintains his fitness and form he will have a plethora of clubs banging the door down. Goals from a forward are hard to come by (coughs Magennis Fletcher) but from an attacking midfielder they are rarer than rocking horse sh*te.
Once Danson’s phone starts to ring come the 4th of May I think any new deal will be folded up into the shape of an aeroplane by him and tossed straight out the office window.
I’m sure whoever drummed up this Wigan Today article did it in tongue n cheek to simply stir up some kind of hope in us fans but to me it’s laughable, comedy gold, truth be known the club knows he’s off.
Aasgaards leaving there’s no two ways about it. I honestly think it will take some kind of a stupid unrefusable amount of daft money to let him go in Jan or I personally think he’ll sit tight till the summer when the corridor at the club will be full of potential clubs all with contracts in hand.
This lads ready to leave right now with 3 or 3 and a half years to go, fit, in form , it’s time we cashed in on his potential. As a club we need to negotiate amount for his sale and a 25% sell on clause then pat the lad on the back then in a few years time when were all sat there watching a Prem game we can all say that classic one liner:-
“He use to play for us him”
On the subject of selling and money I’ve a feeling we might be in for a huge windfall with Antonee Robinson.
I have a feeling he might be heading out the club is say to Liverpool. Robinson’s at his peak at 27 and with Robertson’s form and age and Tsimikas not up to the job I think Liverpool will test Fulhams resolve.
Only Salah and Saka have more assists this season with 9 each so I think at £40million to £50million he might be heading a top top club.
But I bet alot of you didn’t know this:-
If say Robinson sold for £50million and we receive 20% sell on clause £10million Everton are entitled to 33% of what ever we make in profit meaning Everton would roughly make
£50million minus our fee £2million
Leaves £9.6million profit for us the Everton receive 33% of that which is roughly £3.16million leaving us with around £6.5million
That’s enough for Everton to start repairs on their leaking roof at their new Bundesliga stadium
