Another weekend is upon us and I daren’t think about what sort of performance or result might be awaiting us in the Championship.
Normally, a Yorkshire derby is something I get excited about as much as the next person but this time around I really don’t see it being a particularly great time.
Even though it’s Barnsley, they’ve got something to fight for, and I think it might just be another below-par performance from the lads.
Whilst we wait for that, though, the YEP has suggested a two-year deal has been offered to Pablo Hernandez:
The YEP understands that Pablo Hernandez has been offered a two-year deal but #lufc boss Paul Heckingbottom remains cautious over his future.

Let’s take a look at the reaction to the news…

You’re 100% right that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’ve left it this long to offer him another deal that other clubs have came in and are sniffing around. Should have been sorted ages ago. #lufc

Potentially the final 2 years of his career, why the hell would he spend it playing with this collection of wasters? #lufc

I wouldn't let Heckingbottom sort out a Big Mac meal order never mind the future of our players….

This should have been wrapped up well before now before other clubs even started sniffing around him

Letting Pablo go would be reckless…by far our best player this season..he's worth a two year deal #Gibraltarwhite

The Verdict
Quite a few aren’t particularly buying this, then, and I can understand why.
The Whites have left it late as per to make and offer, if that is the case, and I could see Pablo moving on with other clubs surely having been in his ear.
I hope I’m wrong, but I fear that I’m right.
Thoughts, Whites? Let me know!
