Indy 3,283 Posted August 11, 2020 So is it a new contract with an additional year? Or just a one year contract! I thought he had a few years left? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a graph a few weeks ago which had Cantwell down as our lowest paid player (not surprising as he was only a fringe play in the Championship season before) on a pittance for a Premier League player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Carrow 376 Posted August 11, 2020 I really hope so. Would be a huge boost for the new season and would make a strong point to our other youngsters. Cantwell at No.10 next season pulling the strings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumbbass 318 Posted August 11, 2020 Good news. He was the only one who hadn't got at least a couple of years left. Is it possible in a couple of years that £40m might seem cheap?! If he continues to improve and if we get back into the prem relatively quickly it's not beyond the realms of possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won't make a blind bit of difference if someone comes in with say £25M before the window closes. A 'release clause' doesn't mean the club will automatically reject offers below that.

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted August 11, 2020 Bet Lewis will be chuffed about that if his relegation clause has just kicked in. Never known a club to go public about a release clause so soon. It's almost as they want someone to trigger it or bid close to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s possible and not necessarily a negative. 50 / 50 at best as to wether he will start or become Byrams understudy. We also have said any player not with us 100 % needs to say and in theory in his interviews he said that ‘ I had a taste and now I want more ‘. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 12, 2020 Wouldn’t be surprised if Cantwell did sign a new contract. Out of all the ‘crown jewels’ he has the least amount of time on his current deal - it was also one that was signed before he jumped up a level in his development. Before pre-season last year he wasn’t expected to play a big role in the first team and potentially could have been loaned out, the contract will reflect that. Can see him signing a new three year deal with a significant pay rise this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of thing suggests that Todd isn't and obviously Lewis could have but is still here and it's all relatively quiet on Aarons, Godfrey and Buendia. I know it's still relatively early as the window is open now till October but gut feel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
