Get him signed up to a long term contract and next January or Summer you look to sell for £15 million plus and use the money to rebuild.

The other issue you have if you don’t offer him a new contract at the moment and he carries on tonight’s form the rest of the season he potentially ends up above the wages you can offer when there will be other clubs happily pay him £20k a week

Another 7-8 goals in the run in and he'll be on 15 for the season so I reckon that puts him close to the Riis price in 2022. Seems he's liked by a few teams in Italy and mid 20s so it's another interesting conundrum for the club, cash in or keep him for one more year.

Riis will be off and Keane has really declined so just seems a case at his age of one good season and he really should've been sold to West Brom with their 750k bid.

Of course with the master strategy they'll probably all go to be replaced by two young loanees and a free transfer from mid table league one.

Tie him down to a wage increase and another year. If he continues to bag until summer he'll be worth £10m+, and I'd take it. Conversely, if he performed next season he could also be worth near £20m. We've been bitten on the arse before trying to maximise a players value with Riis however, so I'd advise taking the sensible approach and buying a few more foreign imports with the money made.

Or give Villa the profit for KKH and a buy back clause.

Most likely I think is if he's sold then half would go on Greenwood signing full time. However you can't just replace Osmajic with Greenwood as they're completely different profiles of forward player.

The big issue always in 2022 was scepticism that any of the 7m was actually going to be re-invested in the team given the Hugill money disappearing was still fresh in the mind. It wasn't as easy as just thinking Archer was going to be signed permanently, indeed the two forward signings that summer were Ben Woodburn and Troy Parrott on a year's loan so typical bargain basement from the club in a summer transfer window.

The other side though is Riis then getting an ACL a few months later which has decreased his value so perhaps that will play on club's mind if they get serious interest in Osmajic during the summer.

In order for him to have more value than Riis did, they have to tie him down for another year if they want to sell this summer anyway.

Otherwise clubs would prefer to take the risk to see if he performs again next season and compete to sign him on a free.

He'll have 2 years left this summer though, won't he? Clubs will be looking right now, goalscoring, pacy, powerful strikers are always in demand for the here and now.

My bad, yes he will.

Poses an intriguing question; who would sell this summer to attain max value on current contract length, who would tie him down to a new contract and play the risky game of hoping his value increases, and who would keep him for another year if he doesn't want to sign a new contract?

And yes, Ridsdale will likely choose option 3.
 
As always, depends on the numbers. If he finishes this season in solid form, and says he wants £25k a week? Club unlikely to sanction it, but he'd definitely be able to get it from some other clubs. At that point, you start looking at offers and potential cost of replacements, surely?
 
One of the few things I've called right! 🤣
Told you he was good and just highlights the importance of not writing off players like Majic too early and giving them time.

Also helps when he's given plenty service and I think he'll have that now we have proper wing backs and KKH playing on the correct side.

Hopefully more to come from him and definitely turned a corner since the biting incident.

The Hugill money "disappeared" into funding additions to the squad for the next 2-3 seasons - this utter myth that it wasn't reinvested in the squad needs to stop.

In the same way, "the Osmajic money", if he is ever sold for a profit, will go towards funding multiple low-cost squad additions, as well as covering past loss-making gems like Okkels.

Transfer profit only ever "disappears" into our transfer budget - our main problem is, there's so little of it.

I think the club are likely to sell because they haven't had a significant sale for a long time, and they need more than the standard IoM budget to get through this summer's recruitment, and because I bet incidents like Bitegate didn't go down well within the club.
