Most people seem to think that Kaba is out of contract this summer. I did, however, see a report from Denmark that he has another year left. Can anyone confirm for certain?
He apparently signed a 5-year deal with FC Midtjylland in July 2019.
Their manager was recently asked by the press whether or not he intended to use him next season, but he was non-committal with his answer.
One year left, doubtful he'd sign a new one having received more attention being here, plus expressed desire to play in English structure.
If we're not under an embargo and can buy players, can't see them holding out for too much given so little time left, plus can sign pre-contract in Jan and leave for nothing in summer. Some income better than none. If we are under an embargo, Tans other club could theoretically buy him then loan him to us.
I’ll be honest, he has been a god send to stay up.
I’m unsure if I would want him permanently.
I looked it up yesterday. His contract expires in 2024. So I'd imagine Midtjylland will be looking to move him on for a fee.Quote:

Ah right. Not much chance of him staying then.Quote:

It’s an interesting one. All the indications are his parent club will cash in on him if they can and he seems very keen to stay in the Championship, so I wouldn’t rule it out. But of course the embargo (if there is one) is an issue, as is a fee even if City are not under an embargo.Quote:

I read something (probably on Wales Online) saying that Midtjylland would want to cash in on Kaba this summer rather than loan him out again, but the Danish hack they were speaking to also said that their new coach is likely to introduce an approach more suited to Kaba’s style of play and so there’s a possibility that he’ll stay with his parent club.
Kaba has made it plain his dream is playing in the English league structure. Having played with us, unlikely he's going to want to go back to a lower standard. Given his documented spats with the club, it's not much of a stretch to think they might not want a disgruntled Kaba running his deal down whilst being a PITA.Quote:

Maybe Tan buying him for another club, loaning to us would be another. Maybe embargo being lifted and we could buy would be another.
A lower standard? I wouldn’t fancy our chances much against Midtjylland.Quote:

If there's one thing I hate is people using Helen Keller's name in jest.Quote:

Immers scored 0 goals for us in 13 games. Kaba has scored 8 in 15. Please explain your rationale. It makes no sense whatsoever to me.Quote:

So you are playing a variation of 442, which is great as I am old school but the new generation of managers don't like to be seen doing it.
Most media quote €2m -€3m as his transfer fee. I think a top half Championship club would pay more than that for him.Quote:
