He may be a saleable asset but the leadership and commitment he brings to the club is immense as Marcus pointed out. Imo we will. find difficulty getting those qualities into the club. You need his type of a leadership in the club EDIT : they are not always seen on the pitch
He has shown none of that this season though. He has been invisible in games. He’s also injury prone and banned tonight. Sometimes you need to take a step forward and I think now is that time to replace him. I’m not saying force him out as I’ve always liked him. He isn’t giving us enough now and his value is plummeting, remember Stoker were going to pay us £7million.
That's true I think it better to keep him for now when his off field qualities are needed. But your view maybe right. More Importantly we need a good performance and result tonight without Catts
That should help in normal circumstances, but look at his replacements, its frightening, no N'Dong being crucial, not the absence of Catts which is an irrelevence
Joe ledley could be available in January and he would be a free i woukd have him straight away with danny ward also which woukd be a lian deal im guessing. So mo money spent getting them in just wages. So ship a few out as stated in this thread and we could strengthen our squad fur nothing. Hard to believe that really
