I hope he does, he done well for us
I also can't see myself being right.
Not if we continue to spell his surname wrong
Why not? He seems very happy.
He's had a fair few seasons on Man.Utd. and Arsenal wages, so he should be pretty well off, and even if we are paying less than he was on before, it'll still be shedloads. So long as him and his agent don't get greedy hopefully he can have another happy year with us.

Depends how important salary is as I am 100% certain that another club will offer him more. Saying that I think we are good for each other, we have handled his fitness well imo, like we have done with Lallana. Any doubts, they don’t play.
I can see it being a stressful wait but hope he puts pen to paper shortly.
Hard to call as he is a desirable player for non top six clubs imo
This.
Also this.
It made me google his surname...

"Recorded in several spellings including Allcraft, Holdcraft, Holdcroft, Holcroft, Holecroft and possibly others, this is an English surname. It is locational either from what would seem to be a 'lost' medieval village called Holcroft since this as shown below is the first recorded spelling of the surname, or topographical for somebody who lived at a small farm (croft) in a hollow or valley (hol). Surnames from 'lost' villages are a feature of the surnames lists of the British Isles. It is estimated that at least three thousand surnames do originate from such places, of which the only public reminder of the former existencein the 21st century, is the surname itself. As to why these places disappeared has been the subject of many books but essentially it was through changes in agricultural practices, and such natural disasters as the famous plagues of the 13th to the 17th century. Examples of recordings include Johannes de Holcroft in the Poll Tax register fro Yorkshire in 1379 and George Holdcroft who married Elizabeth Courtney at St James Clerkenwell in the city of London, in 1668."
Not quite sure how "Holcraft" turned into "Welbeck" but I guess there's some logic in there somewhere..
