Suits both parties, Bowen doubles his wages and the board get a fat transfer fee for him
If he continues like he has he will almost certainly be gone next summer.. an England player playing for West Ham..... :lol:
Why not?! We already won the world cup once, we can do it again.

I think his previous contract ran out at the end of next season, not this one. Could be wrong but if it did run out next June he could have spoken to other clubs in December which would have been cutting things very fine.

I couldn't remember....... but also he would only be able to speak to clubs outside the FA..... in Europe or wherever before his contract ended..... in the UK.... it's a no no......but that doesn't stop the unscrupulous agents... :D

He probably won't. But the club have insured themseklves against that happening by giving him a large contract.b As we all know the longer the contract has to run the bigger the transfer fee that can be demanded.

Downside of course is that if his form drops off or he suffers a serious injury you get saddled with an expensive asset that can't be used.
The other downside is if he’s been a clever cunt and got a release clause included .
I’ve seen reports that that’s not the case but then again this time last week I was seeing reports that he or his representatives were insisting on a £48m release clause inserted .
Do we know for sure ?
The original contract offer was a bit lower and shorter and they asked for a release clause. We asked to not include one hence the value and length went up instead.

Good deal all round.

I would gamble he wont see out half of it.
Anything over half and his value, irrespective of form, is only going down.
If we're all about maximising (outgoing) transfer values he's gone in '25 or '26.
Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.

That's great improvement of 45K from his last contract.
