Koren has been fantastic. In the last two matches he has not stopped running and getting into covering positions very well. He has led the team on the pitch by example and I'm happy that he's doing so well. He was our top scorer last year and in this year he's going to be very important. Hope he gets 1 more year with us. He's been a great servant to our club.
At 34 you might think its a year too far for someone in the premier league, who doesn't have the second to none skill of someone like Frank Lampard or Ryan Giggs, but the age doesn't seem to have hit Koren yet. He still looks just as athletic for as much of the game as he did when we signed him when he was 29. Brucey said he takes excellent care of himself, I can believe it. Even Aluko looks burned out well before Koren starts lagging, impressive stamina for such an old chap.
Was just doing the maths myself! Was the one and only game I've been to, was his debut against Milwall. Assume he's 33 at the moment? (Having been 30 when we signed him).
He'san interesting player, if he keeps on taking care of himself I don't think 1 more year would be too farfetched.
Got to say the premier league seems to suit his style better then the championship, I`m sure like all players his performance levels will dip at some stage, would be nice if people remember this when they do.
