There would need to be a raise one would think, he's on 50k ish now (tbh it was originally reported at 80k, not sure when the change occured.) I guess we may offer a 1 yr extension on the same salary, that would be acceptable I think.. for a back up

Sean Longstaff was our most expensive signing last year, a total package of over 30M (DCL second most expensive), he's basically a benchwarmer now, sitting behind Stach, Amps, Gruev, Tanaka, Aaronson and now Wilson if he plays the 10 plus we seem to be targetting centre mids. That's looking like a very poor bit of business from us

Aaronsson is on 45k a week now.

You look at Harrison on 90k, and suddenly 60k for Brenden seems ok

A four year deal for Aaronson would fall into the Bamford/James category of recklessness for me.

I think it's time for Aaronson to move on! He's not going to be a starter next season for LUFC. Now's the right time.
