Omar Richards Contract

by royalp-we » 29 Nov 2020 09:55

This lad has the potential to be one of our greatest ever LB’s imo. All those years ago when we signed Gunter + McLeary for our right wing the plan was clearly they would be our long term solution on that side.

Omar should be our long term solution to build our left side - he is so in tune with Moore, Rino, Laurent, Olise, Ovie and Joao I think losing him on a free would be shambolic. Will he get a new contract? Is he free to talk to other clubs from Jan?

Last I heard in the media is that the club is currently in negotiations with a 4 year deal in the offing. Of course with January only being a month or so away and with agents giving “advice” he may well choose to delay to see what offers he might get and where. Bad of the club to let it get this far but given the financial uncertainty it’s not entirely surprising.

One also hopes talks are underway with Olise, long before next season arrives....

FM21 has a 1 year optional extension clause in his contract. Not sure where they got that from but if it does exist the delay in his contract may be due to wage or a release clause or something..

Olise is a big call, he knows there is the interest out there, it`s difficult to see us keeping hold of him next summer if a very big offer comes in, am I right in saying he can go for nothing if he plays out his contract till 2022?

You are correct. Unless we get promoted i can see him signing a new contract with us. Why would he? Arsenal want him ffs.

He wouldn't go For nothing as he’s under 24 so we would get a ‘development payment’, which would be well below his market value.

Omar is looking like an exceptional player now. His ability on the ball is remarkable at times and his passing is very good in tight situations. What has really impressed me is how much he has improved defensively. He is much more harder to beat and more physical.

Potential to be our best ever left back? You bet.

He could get a big payrise now though, and if a huge £25m bid came in I don't know how we could turn it down, even with a long term deal. Has to be worth the effort trying, otherwise we could be looking at £10m in 2021 or nil in 2022, which would be an embarrassment for a player of his talent.

Richards will sign. He's doing well, but he doesn't scream PL quality yet and is better off developing here.

McIntyre and Southwood are the other 2 to watch.

I did say “potential” to be our best ever left back. So he hasn’t surpassed Shorey. I don’t see any reason why he can’t play for England in 2 or 3 years time if he keeps on developing. He is still young.

He’s been in the England setup for a while as well I think so they’ll be watching closely and I don’t think it’s a stretch to consider him getting a full call up if he continues to improve and impress. Not exactly blessed with LB options... Chilwell and Saka? That’s about it really.

Yep and he is only 22 which is exactly the age Shorey was when he started establishing himself at Reading.

I thought he was a couple of years older. He's been around the team for 3 years already! Definitely PL potential, but he's also not there yet. Moving too soon could hinder his development if he ends up in the U23s. Staying here is best for him.

You look at players like Luke Shaw and Aaron Cresswell who were both good Championship players and they’ve done fine in the PL although I think Shaw has been at the wrong club and hasn’t progressed. Richards has the same potential for me. Easily see him at a club like Palace

Yes he’s been brilliant this season and we should sign him up ASAP. I thought last season was a marked improvement on the previous one for him too

Shaw never played in the Championship.

Under normal circumstances he would be free to talk to foreign clubs in January. Unsure if those arrangements have been adjusted due to the pandemic. If that happened we would be entitled to FIFA solidarity payments, which are pretty derisory (particularly as he only joined us at 16). If he moved to another English club then we would be entitled to a fee set by a tribunal, which would be better but still below market value.

We’re in the process of negotiating a new contract. I hope it goes well.

As for his England hopes - Chilwell, Saka, and Sessegnon are better prospects and there are so many young right backs around that one of them would probably be switched to the other side. Japhet Tanganga is another one who might end up there. Plus Brandon Williams. Luke Shaw... Jordi Osei-Tutu... but saying that, it is clearly a weak position for England right now, with Chilwell the only specialist. If Shaw and Sessegnon continue to stall and Saka and Williams don’t develop then maybe Richards could slip in there.

Sessegnon really oxf*rd himself by moving to Tottenham. Shaw did it too I suppose by moving to Utd. Reckon you'd defenders need to look at those moves more often when big clubs come calling.

Saka looks well ahead of Sessegnon btw. Both and attacking mids who have dropped back but Saka looks better atm.

Also Tanganga is right footed. Has he ever played LB?

P sure he broke into the Spurs side at left back. Might be wrong though.
