Thirsty Lizard 3,073 Posted February 25, 2021 So Feedthewolf's excellent spreadsheet (with the help of Vazzza) lists Todd's contract as expiring in June 2022. However Connor Southwell states in his article on Todd today that the club possesses an option to extend Todd's contract for another year beyond that. So who's correct?

It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) My recollection is that his contract expires next year with no option. That plus £2.80 will get you a coffee at Caffe Nero....

You would hope that he has done his research on this and got his facts right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,666 Posted February 25, 2021 I have absolutely zero clue who Connor Southwall is, but I believe him to be incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cl3 0 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) https://twitter.com/theathleticuk/status/1277308533390938112?s=21 Connor is right. Bailey has also stated that is the case. Edited February 25, 2021 by Cl3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, technically they could both be correct. As it stands his contract does expire in June 2022 having signed a new 3 year deal in 2019, but it is quite common for Norwich to have a extra year option in virtually all of the contracts they done under Webber's rein so would expect that to be true. I have no doubt there are plans in place for Todd, probably waiting to see if we get promoted this season before sitting down to talk contracts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,472 Posted February 25, 2021 IF we do have an option then that's a pretty big deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 729 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) It’s also possible the club’s option is conditional - eg linked to a pay rise and/or to Premier status. Hoping these boxes will be ticked in Summer ’22 in any case... Edited February 25, 2021 by GenerationA47 Getting the year right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 25, 2021 If there is an option to extend, why haven't we made it yet? Surely we should look to extend whether promoted or not so if he does go we can demand a bit more £££? Would be nice to know we could keep hold of him another season without the risk of losing him for nothing afterwards - particularly with Aarons and Buendia seeming unlikely to stick around too.

lake district canary 4,496 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) AJ is right I think - the summer is the time to talk contracts, when we know what division we will be in. Edited February 25, 2021 by lake district canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow and Green 334 Posted February 25, 2021 To be fair to Wolfie, there is no mention of the extension here or here. Usually they include those details in the articles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think often you can only officially pick up those options when a player enters his last year of the contract. So for us if we have an option we may only be able to activate it next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine many circumstances in which I'd be happier to be proved wrong, though! 🙂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtopia 512 Posted February 25, 2021 Irrespective of the option Todd is performing at a really good standard and should be one of our best paid players. I am certain Webber and co will recognise that - even if they sell him, and extended and enhanced contract works for everyone. If we do not go up, it will be important to pay him correctly.

Nuff Said 4,915 Posted February 25, 2021 That is brilliant news! I thought (as did most of us I believe) that we would have 12 months left on his contract after this season, so would basically have to sell or risk getting nothing (assuming he didn't want to sign a new contract). 🎈🤸♂️🎈🤸♀️🍾🍾🍾 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,786 Posted February 26, 2021 Do we have confirmation from the club on this? As I said, I'd be delighted to be wrong, but I want to be sure. If so, that extra year has got to be worth at least £10m to the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 26, 2021 Doesnt mention a 1 year option in the story on the official site or pinkun when he signed until 2022. Normally does say. Pukki is also out of contract in 2022 aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and as you point out it often does, the story on the official website mentions the club have the option for an extra year. https://www.canaries.co.uk/News/2019/july/teemu-pukki-signs-new-norwich-city-contract/ Edited February 26, 2021 by Banjoman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
