00:00Tony Patel has asked, how do you address Tom Fellow's apparent loss of form?
00:03Keep giving him minutes or perhaps take him out of the firing line?
00:05Is he just lacking a bit of confidence or struggling to adapt to his
00:09but moggers approach to players, to giving players more freedom?
00:13And then Baguio has asked, he's been meaning to ask us for a few weeks.
00:16Do you think Fellow is nailed on to leave for financial reasons
00:19if we don't go up this season?
00:20He's put personally, I think he will, sadly.
00:22I know his form has dropped a bit,
00:24but still think we should be looking at 20 million at least.
00:27There has been a bit of chatter about that, hasn't it, Coxey?
00:29And he has, not like he's had a dip, but I've banged the drum for this.
00:34I think I wrote a story a while ago.
00:36He's only been in and around a first-team set-up for a little over a year.
00:41His first full season, yeah.
00:43He's done so well. It's his first full season.
00:45He's going to have a dip.
00:46He probably should have had a dip before now, but he hasn't.
00:48He's continued ripping defenders apart.
00:50And I think I mentioned it on the video,
00:53the mark of how well Fellow has done is that when I've been playing at home now,
00:58every team doubles up on him.
00:59So it's making it even harder for him.
01:02He hasn't had as big of an impact in games,
01:05but he's still right at the top of the assist charts overall.
01:07He's had a really good season.
01:08I think he's just having a bit of a dip.
01:10And I think it might potentially be a confidence thing.
01:13And if it is, Tony Mowbray seems one of the best man managers to aid him with that,
01:19stick an arm round his shoulder, tell him how good he is,
01:22because we all know how good he can be.
01:24Similar to what we said about Johnson.
01:25Yeah, exactly.
01:26And I think it will come back.
01:29I think it is just a confidence thing.
01:31I think we will see Tom Fellows make an impact between now and the end of the season.
01:36And then that rolls on to what Baguio's point is saying,
01:38will we see him beyond the summer?
01:41I tend to agree with Baguio in the respect of if Albion don't go up,
01:47Fellow's stock is high.
01:50He is an England Under-21 international.
01:52He has bagged so many assists this season.
01:55He will be on the radar of your likes,
01:59of your palaces, people like Bournemouth, Sides of Brighton.
02:02And they are sides that pay £15-20 million for players
02:07that are in the same category, the same ilk as Fellows.
02:09And I think if a bid like that comes in, as sad as it is,
02:13I think Albion will listen to it and Albion will maybe cash in.
02:17Obviously, if Albion go up, they get through the play-offs,
02:19Fellow's being Albion playing next season.
02:20But yeah, I think it's all down to confidence.
02:24I think he will come back.
02:25He's going to have a dip. It's natural.
02:27For his age, yeah.
02:29There's another slight, just another quick second on that.
02:32He's got, from the summer, he's got two years left on his deal, Johnny.
02:36So if he was to stay at Albion in the Championship,
02:40you know, he's into the final two years,
02:43and then you'd get to, say, the January,
02:46he's got 18 months left, you know,
02:49and were he to then get to the following summer,
02:51he's got a year left.
02:52And yeah, look, Albion could offer and he could sign a new deal,
02:55but obviously value decreases the lower down that contract goes.
03:00So yeah, there's very much that to consider.
03:03Two years come the summer is a little bit,
03:06but it's not masses, is it?
03:08It's not masses.
03:08So yeah, very much want to watch this summer, I feel.
