It’s part of being sensible. The other part of being sensible is signing 1-2 nailed on CM’s so our reliance on Elneny is minimal at the very least. Pleased for him.

Can’t see there being anything wrong with a one year deal for him given how reliable he is as a 4th choice midfielder

Go-to midfielder for EL games to play with Lokonga, ESR and Patino.

Right, plop him the Europa group stage and league cup early rounds whilst keeping starters fresh

Use your loafs. If we let go of him we aren’t going to buy three CM’s in one window. Keeping Elneny for Europa and cup games is sensible.

I’m not happy about this extension at all.

It’s ok if we get a class starting midfielder that makes Xhaka a bench option and then can bring Xhaka on off the bench

It’s not ok if Xhaka is still a starter and elneny is the alternative when he inevitably screws up.

It’s a sensible thing to do, quite a no brainer really

I don’t see how you can moan about a one year extension. It means he’s not going to be deadwood and if we don’t need him he can go and cause us no problems.

People moaning about us resigning the 4th choice CM for a year need to have a word with themselves #neverhappy

Just highlights how many players short we are. How many years at this at a so called top club is this now.
Who the fuck is running the academy if this is your go too .

Mecca Modric chilling here for another year seems alright.

Fucking Falafel Fabregas :sob::sob::sob::person_facepalming:

I think this is very astute, he’s happy being a back up squad player and he won’t be on massive wages so not a drain on resources.

Bit disappointed in him not being ambitious enough to find another club but it’s his life.
Hopefully he gets paid relatively well by the club.

Is he 4th choice though. Elevated himself of Lokonga this season which compounds a bigger problem.

Shawarma Schweinsteiger with another year at the carpet. Love it.

Right where my mind was unfortunately. Lokonga needs to step up next season.
Us relying on Elneny over him for another season isn’t a good indicator.
