The German defender has yet to sign a replacement for his existing deal, which runs out at the end of next season. That has rasied fears that City will have to sell the 27 year old rather than loseing their prize asset on a free transfer next summer.
Although we have the rest of the summer to tie him down, I honsetly dont think we can afford to lose him. Whilst I am not a bif fan of either Woody or Upson and felt they didnt add to our squad (just caused problems), Woody is out of contract and Upson looks to be leaving having been approached in januray by Shanghai Shehua! With Higgy at the end of his career and Collins being as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike - looks like TP will be spending his money here before anywhere else!
In his defence (
), I dont think he has much choice!
