Well I think it's a one year deal initially and based on how that goes they'll determine whether to extend with him, because he'll be useful going forward, or whether it would be preferable to use some of the younger players coming through instead in those club home grown slots.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 He's a reliable defender providing 3rd choice cover in 2 positions. We're not realistically going to replace our entire squad and backup in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 "Dreadful" and "brainless". Don't say that NO doesn't love an overreaction I personally didn't see the value in renewing his contract, but Howe obviousky does and he will have his reasons. Either way it's a pretty inconsequential decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Can't believe the reaction He's an experienced club home grown player they want to have another look at over next season, because he's been injured most of this one. He can cover as a left back, centre back in a two, centre back in a three, and as a left wing back. After seeing what Howe did with Krafth, it's not impossible that he could be a serviceable squad player if and when injuries start to tally up. The key thing is ultimately that club home grown status though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's a pretty inconsequential decision. Aye, it's either we keep on someone like Dummett as cover, or we go out and buy someone to fulfil the exact same, part time role. Either or it's pretty inconsequential like you say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue that he's injury prone but I'd argue/insist that he's better than Lewis (who's done absolutely nothing for us), plus he can play in more than one position. And like I suggested in the other post, he's an important character in the dressing room (that's according to the manager). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 On the one hand, I'm reading, he isn't very good. But on the other, he's always injured so he won't play anyway. Sounds to me like his two biggest weaknesses cancel each out, so I don't know what people are complaining about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I suggested in the other post, he's an important character in the dressing room (that's according to the manager). I don’t know why we’d keep either of them. Both Championship standard and should see the door. We had an opportunity to get rid of one for free and should have taken it. Buy two youngsters with the ability to improve with the club, or bring an experienced older head in who is also on a free in the summer. When we need back up next season, he’ll either not be available through injury (as we’ve encountered several times in the past few years) or, he’ll be torn to bits because he’s not good enough.

My goodness This is going to be the new coaching teams first full pre season at the club. If it doesn't improve things for him fitness wise and he is still never available then he will leave after next year. Howe says in the article that he appreciates his professionalism and influence and so they are giving him an opportunity under their stewardship to see if they can get something more out of him, especially as he is a club home grown player that could be useful over the next few years if Europe is a possibility. Why on Earth is this getting under people's skin so much?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I just don't see the point in recruiting a replacement (for this particular role) when he's already here and there's basically no risk to the move. And I really think the character thing is underestimated. There'll be a good reason why every single manager Dummett has played under clearly loves him.

Superior Acuña Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Again with this stuff, I just think we clearly have a competent staff now - a competent staff that spend their whole working days thinking about and analysing these things, seeing Dummet when we don't. I think there's a better chance they're going to make a good decision than me or anyone here. Instinctively I'm pretty neutral about it. He's obviously not great and is injury prone, but he's alright. Don't really give a shit apart from it's nice to have him as a geordie (and I've played against him so I like having him there as a claim to fame when I meet toon fans over here).
