Players Out of Contract 2024

[Reds73]

I think that’s Chris Wood not getting a new contract now, 2 big injuries in the last year. Will have to buy a new striker in summer guarenteed.

Yes I would agree. 
Can’t give him another big contract given his injury history at his age.
Shame, but with TA prone to injury, that is prob a key recruitment position in the summer.

Chris Wood has played in 28 games this season and been flogged to death over the past two months, scoring ten goals.

Ola Aina has started 14 games for us.

You really have to question the common sense of some people.

Right I get what you are saying but having 2 big injuries, in less than a year is bad for Forest financially if we were to offer a new contract it has to be on significantly reduced terms. That’s what I was trying to point out. So ‘having to question the common sense of some people’ is an unneeded comment.

Aina is a no brainier for an extension, even if it’s just taking up the year option. Our best full back.

Its a low bar.

It is absolutely needed comment.

We have largely breached P&S due to the onerous and unnecessary contracts we have entered into. We can't keep touching an electrified fence and expect a different outcome.

I'll repeat, Chris Wood has played 28 games this season when selected, twice as many as Ola Aina.

I would let Wood go I think.

I presume we will keep Awoniyi so we can't afford to have two injury prone Strikers in a 25 man squad.

Aina is a no brainer.

How about we sell Awoniyi for £40m and give Wood another year on reduced terms?

Well there is always that option too.

I'm not really sure what argument you're making here? Who is not showing common sense?

People suggesting Wood shouldn't sign a new contract or Forest for overusing him/not having an alternative?

Also Wood has played 24 games not 28. Aina also has missed 6 so far due to AFCON which presumably he'd have played in so it's not really a great comparison. Aina is also 27 and I would imagine on significantly lower wages.

If it is the suggestion that keeping Wood is a mistake due to injuries I think it's a perfectly reasonable debate. Wood is 32 and going to need a sizeable pay cut and likely to want more than 1 year on his contract. We've burned ourselves plenty of times in this exact scenario. Obviously if he's willing to take a short deal that reflects his value and is weighted on incentives then I'm sure everyone would be delighted. However, assuming he's gonna want one more payday and a longer deal I suspect it'll be tricky. Certainly a debate either way!

Ha Awoniyi is worth more than 40m but also what a strange decision that would be. Sell our star striker so we could keep a 32 year old journeyman striker for another two years? Doesn't seem like a smart play (unless we're in the championship of course)

I can’t see Wood getting a new contract. he has done better this season than i anticipated but i reckon each goal he has scored has cost about £3.5 million. we need to find better value for money.
