He has another year left after this season and with him playing really well at the minute and the Euros around the corner in the summer, which could really put him in the shop window with only a year left to run on his deal, I think we should be smacking down a new four year deal on improved terms NOW.
Arnie in the form he is in now really is a case of when Arnie plays well, Stoke play well.
Get him signed up sparky lad.

No contract has been offered to him yet, but I would severely hope before the euro's one is offered

Why would we have offered him a contract though when he has two years left and after a inconsistent season?

Scholes needs to get this sorted ASAP! No contract by the summer = Arnie leaving for cheap like Nzonzi did!

Why would we have offered him a contract though when he has two years left and after a inconsistent season though? To protect his transfer value, let alone keeping one of our 3 best players at the club...  |

He should have been offered one when Muniesa signed his.

Serious questions need to be asked if we don't tie him down to a long term deal

To protect his transfer value, let alone keeping one of our 3 best players at the club... One of three best players now, yes. Last season I don't think many would've put him as one of the top 3 players. With his excellent form at the minute I'm now sure that they're now putting something together. |

Irrespective of that it's clear he's an excellent attacking talent and needed a contract extension with 2 years left based on how we've seen the situations with Fonzy and Bego develop. This isn't hindsight either. |

I love arnie (more than that chancer, onlooker) and I hope they offer him a lucrative deal. But you can see why they weren't clamouring to get him to sign another in the summer. |

Arnie is a class player and we should do whatever it takes to keep him. We need to keep him. When Arnie plays well the whole team plays well Totallly agree that he should have been offered a new contract the same time as Muniesa nd i would make sure Bojan stays as well because with players like them here there are good times to come im sure

Probably the player that offers the most potential presently
its about direction, aspiration and ambition this one. I fear for the club on two counts
First, Its still at times being run like Arkrights corner shop by the likes of Tony Scholes
Second, there are actually people on here and possibly even at the club, who still have doubts about the potential of this player.
As the Op suggest, its not hard too imagine the scenario where we offer him an extended contract and if not already - very soon
its pretty low risk actually

It's not like we haven't had two very recent, high profile examples is it? It will certainly tell us a lot if we don't offer him one, or can't agree one and then see where he ends up. |
