Could he be waiting to see if he has a big World Cup to strengthen his hand?

How would it, unless he’s thinking of moving clubs?

By raising his profile with excellent performances (which the U17 wc did) He has a successful tournament & the sponsors will be queuing round the block, that kind of exposure will up his hand in negotiations
 
I might be being stupid here but won't he have lost an absolute fortune already by not signing one say a year ago or do they backdate it?

Only if he entertained offers from other clubs.

Nah……take Grealish as an example, he had a few good seasons at Villa, got in the Euro’s squad, played a few times & made a couple of contributions, there was a mass clamour to get him in the starting line-up, and all the women tuning in where shall we say quite taken with young Jack, he then gets a big move & contract, his profile was raised on a semi successful tournament & good looks, we wanted to be a part of that, hence the £100M fee. It’s well known buying players on the back of a good tournament normally means at a premium, contracts are pretty much the same

If he had signed a new 4 year deal 2 years ago, after the coming world cup he would have 2 years left on the deal, the same as he has now, the only thing is, he has now missed out on a 2 years worth of a better wage/bonus contract.

Seems odd to me but I have no doubt he will sign one and play for us until he retires, why would a City fan want to do anything else :)
 
His agent is probably pointing at what we're paying Grealish and saying,"Need I say more?"

When the deal was reported 2 years ago it said a new 6 year deal

There is a fundamental difference though.

We aren’t Aston Villa.
