Lots to unpack there from Siddas and the points made about loyalty are a problem. We had great service from Cooper, Klich, Dallas and Ayling. Forshaw slightly different as he spent 2 years on the sidelines and has injury issues. However at 32 Ayling who is out of contract in the summer needs to be replaced because if he gets another deal we will be talking about it again when he is 33yo and asking ourselves how has he only played half or less than half the games? That’s what’s happened to Ayling as he is injured more every season, gives penalties away and gets suspended for cards. I thank him for his service but… same goes for Cooper and Klich.
Drameh is a strange one as he accepted that the club would either transfer him or bring him in from the cold after returning from Cardiff. Marsch said he liked the look of Drameh and had spoken to him….. so we assume that as he was staying he would be pushing for replacing Ayling, yet he has been kept back for the 21s. The signals and I accept none of us know whats been said, but my view is he has been told Ayling is going to get a new deal and Drameh would be 3rd choice, so he’s told them he’s off. Yes under all this the club may have decided he isn’t as good as he thinks he is, I don’t know. Sure we will get to know what was said and done as soon as he goes
