Rico Henry

[bees1984]

Was it is his hamstring that kept him out for so long before? Fingers crossed he gets back quickly

 

[Beeswaxnees]

It gives us the option to sell him in both the Summer and Winter windows of his extended contract. (or Summer and the previous Winter if you like)

What extended contract are you talking about? his contract finishes 2023 fact, and what is this about selling him, it is going to cost us millions to replace him like for like. We need to offer him an improved contract ASAP unless the hierarchy think we wont stay up, which is a bloody shame.

Thomas said he wont be available for City

When was the last time we replaced any player like for like in the last 10 years, we don't do that? We buy the next unknown and develop him into the new Rico before selling on.

And what is this cobblers about the hierarchy?

1) we have an extension
2) how much can he increase his wages by playing elsewhere?

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Ben Chilwell now out for the season. Surely Rico is knocking on the door of an England call up in March, especially as Shaw is no longer first choice for MU.

 

[Wise old Bee]

Don't think he will get a call-up until he plays for a "big" club. It will be like Danny Ings who was scoring for fun at Burnley but never got a look-in but as soon as he went to Liverpool he was in the England squad despite poor form. Not sure Rico offers enough going forward to be considered but as a pure defender he is probably the best around.

 

[jlove]

As WhoScored rank him as the 11 best English LB in the PL, I'm not sure Southgate will rank him second to Chilwell, the top listed.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Probably has Cresswell from WHU infront of him too. Has a lovely cross on him tbf.

Yes and while we wait to develop the next Rico we will be relegated. The last 10 year strategy was brilliant and made us tons of money in player sales, which was all done to reach the promise land, but now we are here, we are here to stay I hope and should be buying players who can play in the Premiership which of course isn't cheap.

 

[Beeswaxnees]

1) we have an extension

1) No
2) 10-20k weekly

[Gee Bee]

Former Academy Bee Tyrick Mitchell will be in the frame

 

[BFC1997]

I think we might well see Trippier and Saka play LWB before Henry gets a chance.

Plus Shaw is still available, just not first choice at Man United.

And then you have Targett at Villa and Richards breaking through at Bayern Munich.

 

[sonofabee]

1) No
2) 10-20k weekly

Reckon you can add at least another £10k onto his weekly earning potential, read somewhere recently average wage for an established Prem player was £53K a week

Southgate has picked

Tarkowski
Bamford
Pope
Watkins
Phillips
Rice
Mings
Ward Prowse
Godfrey
Coady

And that's off the top of my head!

Johnstone from the Championship too plus Conor Gallagher at Palace recently

Plus Cresswell and Kyle Walker-Peters, plus he might take a look at Tyrick Mitchell.

Both answers incorrect.

So which established players should we be buying just out of interest? Is there anyone below us in the table we would buy, is there anyone above us we can afford?

We are not changing our strategy, the prem money we have got now is still peanuts compared to every other team, we aint buying their best players off them and if you want a like for like replacement for Rico you are basically talking about taking one of someone elses best player.

One player from a club below us I’d buy would be Aarons from Norwich. Good young right back who surely won’t want to go back down to the Championship again for his last year of contract so will definitely be sold by them in the summer, why not put a cheeky bid in now? They have no money and have to balance their books, have no realistic chance of staying up and unlike most PL clubs we’d be able to keep him playing regularly. Also it’d be really funny.

Given Bayern have been interested in tbe past. I think we would be very lucky to get him!

How did you come to that conclusion? They haven't blown the budget (nor did they last time in the prem) and banked £38m for Buendia at the start of the season.

They are unlikely to stay up but could - they also have a number of players unable to play at the moment. They are only 3 points off 17th place.

Aside from that we have absolutely zero chance of getting him or affording him!

Unrealistic I think. Aarons will go for 25mill + to a top 6 English or European club.

Like us they sell to keep going. Unlike Benham, Delia has no spare cash to fund losses (iirc her net worth is not much more than the value of the club), let alone to take risks even if she wanted to.

 

[Gee Bee]

Its a strange one, because everyone is supposed to be after him, but nobody has signed him, when I'm sure a big offer would have got accepted. I've seen him more this season and yes he's in a poor team, but I just don't see the great player some suggest.

He’s still young and has development ahead and would be an improvement on our RB options. But I agree he’s not done anything much to show he’s a £25m player for Bayern so maybe he’s a £15m player for us first. He’ll be getting nothing other than a weekly PL battering at Norwich for a second season followed by a second season of strolling the Championship. Maybe loan them Forss who’s a step up from Sargent.

What is happening with Rico? Should we be worried about January?

 

[BFC1997]

Hopefully back for Liverpool

 

[Shamrock_Bee]

Thanks for sharing

Maybe interests from clubs, but there is no way we will sell in January, summer will be a different scenario if we don't offer him a new contract soon.

I don't think Rico will get a call up as his final ball isn't good enough sadly most of the time compared to who his up against

Have a read up on what we have been told on his contract situation and wages by those very much connected and in the know (you dont have to look far). There's your research ?

Apologies to Banana but it’s public knowledge

The average salary for a Premier league footballer is just over £60,000 a week, which equates to more than 3 million a year. Premier League footballers are the highest paid; lower divisions receive much less

Really! You actually pulled out the Wiki. Thank God you don't work for the CIA otherwise all our lives would be in danger, you relying on Wiki intel.
Anyway never mind you win, Happy New Year.

I will remind you in the summer 2022 when I'm proven right.

This is the typical lazy research I see coming from so called pundits in our game, especially when it comes to the Bees, and you are no better.
Are you a Wiki man also like Banana? When the time comes I will remind you in the summer 2022 that I was right. Happy New Year

You really are a bit of a plonker. Read what you are being told by those in the know. What is your source? I trust the one that’s already told you that you are wrong on both accounts.

As I said must be new brentford.
