And he'll be 23 and a half if he leaves at the end of 24/25 so we'll still get compo (I think...)
I think it is being a bit canny with Cheick's age. As stated above, Cheick will be 23 at the end of the contract so if we do offer a new multi year contract next season, it gives us a chance of compensation if Cheick turns it down.Brilliant and what I’d hoped for.
A pure central defender to complement all of our existing ball playing ones.
I would have added at least a further year option (in our favour) at the end as well.
But hopefully (if Cheick and his people agreed) it’s there anyway and we just haven’t been told.
To be fair I expect the club realize that we aren’t able to take in too much good news in a short space of time.
@ryancooper327 mentioned that Cheick will be 23 and a half at the end of this one year extension which was triggered by the club not Cheick. We’d therefore be entitled to compo if he left at the end of next season.Brilliant and what I’d hoped for.

See my post after yours. I just don’t think a Tribunal would buy that unless GC makes him first choice next season. Why would we be offering a huge new deal to him if he’s not even first choice.I think it is being a bit canny with Cheick's age.

With The Judge hopefully signing a new contract (preferably) or the club taking the option on it, we are very well set for centre backs next season. All adding to a much better base to work from than this time last year.
