Wasn't it Footie who was having a go about him a few months ago for not offering a goalscoring threat?

Well, to be fair…

He plays 2 games alongside Onana and has 2 shots on target the first game and scores the second. Would suggest it's more tactics and personnel related.

I need a slightly bigger sample than that. Let’s take all of his other games he’s ever played for us. Hmmm, no goals.

But he doesn’t need to score for me to love him.

Goalscoring isn't really his job, so any he scores are a lovely little bonus.  His job is helping protect our back-four, and in that respect, he's been brilliant since he's been back (as he was most of the time before his injury).  I don't think it's a complete coincidence that since his return from injury, we've won 7 in the league, and lost only once.

We are a MUCH harder team to beat when he's playing, and playing well.  If he can do a little bit more up the pitch when paired with Onana rather than Tielemens, so be bit, but as a defensive midfielder, there are probably only a handful better than him in world football.

He’s our best and probably our most important outfield player for me

Left out of the France squad again, despite a few injuries. Digne in again, though.

I heard on the 1874 podcast today that he is very close to signing as soon as season over.

Although nowadays that does not seem to mean anything other than inflating the selling price

All gone a bit quiet wrt Bouba. Hopefully he's still on his holidays, but an update confirming the new contract has been signed would be most welcome.

I wonder with the wage issues whether this has been pushed back a year - but with a nod and a wink between both parties around the final overall value of the deal?

My guess is that there was a contract that both parties were happy with as long as we finished in the top five. As we didn't, he's probably going to see how this season goes and see where he is and where we are. If we're in the Champions League 26/27 he signs again, if we're not he's only got a year left so the club reluctantly sells him to someone who is.

Unless he had worries about his injuries coming back and wants the security of the contract, then I think that's the obvious way to play it from his perspective.

Is he waiting for another Bosman payday? When does his contract expire?

June 2027. So there's plenty of time left
