Of all the players renewals we have done, Leroy seems to be the only one who hasn't committed. It's creating noise, especially against the backdrop of harmonious exits for Mangala, Delph, and Kompany. We've made an offer, he's refused, we've sat down again, he's stalled on making a choice and seemingly he hasn't got another round of talks with us. I think we've said take it or leave it. In the locker room he would only say to the team he's staying, in the meeting rooms with agents and sponsors it might not be cut and dried as that.

Hit the nail on the head, he has a contract offer, and it is a case of 'take it or leave it', NOT 'take it or leave'.

He still has two years left on his contract, not accepting a new contract doesnt change that.

He has a right to choose to commit his long term future, or not to, whether its for more money or more playing time, at the moment he probably feels he deserves more of both.

But he is still a great player and can contribute a lot next season at least, if not l longer.
 
TBF I did say IF he wants out As Pep has said tonight on his reluctance to keep unhappy players personally i want Leroy to stay deffinately , but understandably from a financial standpoint we could really do with him signing a new contract and putting fhe commitment issue to bed
 
Still think this is mostly about leverage for him to make the point that he expects to play; and/or he may not want to commit longer term beyond when Pep leaves, at least until the succession plan is clear and to his liking. If he ends up really wanting to leave in two years he’d absolutely kick himself for extending now.

I thought that was the clearest sign that he is staying. Bayern and their lackies can bang on and on all they want but I feel he is staying. Any chance of a move and he wouldn't have played at all. Pep has said his bit, the contract talks will continue so see how it all falls out in the end. I'm in the staying camp after his performance last night.
 
I want Leroy to stay. I want us to draw the German rags in the Champions League. I want us to give them the mother of all hidings. I want Leroy to score a hat trick and the tv camera to remain fixed on the face of Rumminegge for at least 2 minutes so I can savour his pain.

Only then will I be satisfied.
