The club was an absolute shambles during the the relegation season from top to bottom. I really can't come up with an idea of why he'd have wanted to stay, even those credited with the turnaround (Barton, Raylor & Nolan etc) weren't model pro's during that time. The club was absolutely rotten.
Jonas started 34 of 38 league games last season and only missed games due to injury, he's been used as substitute once in the past season and a bit. Even after the last January transfer window he started every league game.
It has some merit though. Jonas is pretty much nailed on to start when fully fit, either Williamson or Taylor would start when fit and Shola is still managing to get starts when other options are available.
Really can't remember the last time he came off the bench in a league game and put in a good performance. Think I'd maybe go back to the 1-1 home derby a couple of years back.
