Throw in Brereton-Diaz, what a mix of forwards we will have 

Both returning fresh, full of confidence after cooking in their loan spells.

Are we talking about standard glass or plexiglass. Because I'd give the plexiglass a new contract.

Agree with all that… got to mention the layoff to Shea for the winner though.

I'm not entirely convinced that was deliberate, but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It would be strange to support him through all the injuries, to then let him leave once he looks fit and sharp. But equally he could sign, then pick up a bad one immediately. Weigh up the risks. I think he's worth the gamble.

If he plays the rest of the season without injury, plays entire 90+ minutes and performs well/scores goals, then it will be hard to release him for free. It may be harder for us to ignore his previous injury problems than a new suitor, which means he may get a better offer elsewhere, but if he's scored vital goals for us in the run in, then we'll no doubt have recency bias and want to keep him.

I dont think I've ever wanted a player, with the exception of Pahars, to stay fit and earn a contract extension more.

He's just what we need in my opinion.

He’s not even fully fit or had a run of games to be at his best, but he’s by far our best option. If he can play through til the end of the season then it’s a no brainer to keep him IMO, as long as the club realise he’ll probably always need to be managed minutes-wise and we’d need another proper option up top.

Unless Larin proves his fitness, builds on his initial promise and we sign him permanently.

I presume a new contract can be written with a low base salary and achievable bonuses when he plays. 

Stephens’ new contract was a lower base salary but longer term.
