Fredericks New Deal?

[MrFFC]

Really hope he signs a new deal he is such a weapon for us. Think he has been brilliant all season & can easily see him being good enough to play for us if we do end up getting promoted. Really hope we get him signed up to a new deal would be such a shame to lose him

As a free agent with premiership clubs after you what would you do?

If the club you're with has just got promoted,  why would you move assuming your existing club can pay you Prem wages

[Fulham76]

Made me laugh reading some of the Villa fan comments from during the game, something about us having 5-6 Olympic quality sprinters in our squad. Fredericks is obviously one of them - he's a big threat going forward & also very solid defensively.

He'd be right near the top of the list of players I'd be looking to tie in to a new deal, whether we go up on not, but can't see him staying if we don't go up unfortunately.

I've read in more than one place that the club have a one year option to extend and would exercise it

Could that be the case and also why there is no panic to get him to sign a new one

But never anything officially from the club to that regard.
Also if they have the option why have they not activated it?

Depends on the club.  Especially so in Fred's case I think.  Remember that he jacked Bristol after a matter of weeks because he wanted to come back to London "for personal reasons" so if WHam, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Watford then maybe but who else?

Might be waiting to see if we go up to see how a longer term contract would shake out. No point in acting hastily.

Edit: The suggestion from the Christie signing would be that we could be lining up to cash in on him if we don't go up, so announcing an extension would be kind ofnaff in that case.

If we are promoted and offer Frederick an improved contract that is competitive with lower level premiership clubs then I see no reason for him to leave.
If we stay in the Championship and there are premiership chasing him on a free then I see no reason for him to stay.

He would be the only player with an option in last few years we have not activated. Why leave him free to talk to other (overseas) clubs at this stage and risk allowing him to sign for someone for free.
I'm convinced there is no option.

Did some digging and every place I looked if there is an option it is shown.  No where did I see an option for RF.  Could be he is just waiting to see if we are promoted before making a decision.

If the club have purchased Christie - about whom I've only read good things - they surely must know something we don't?

The Christie signing was a surprise as there is no vacancy ,right now.no smoke without fire?

For me. I'd wait and see if we go up and then see if Khan would open his wallet.

[Whitesideup]

The Christie signing could just be strengthening the squad - there will be injuries and suspensions. Well, that's my hope.... not that there will be injuries, but just a strengthening of the squad in case...
